INFUSION TEMPERATURE PROFILES

•  The water temperature is precisely controlled throughout the entire brewing process to ensure the 

ideal temperature stability for the extraction. La Specialista Arte offers up to 3 infusion temperature* 

profiles to select, correspondent to a range of temperatures between 

92° and 

96°C.

•  Coffee bean varieties as well as roasting colours require their own specific temperature setting 

for the best extraction: Robusta coffee beans prefer lower temperature; Arabica prefers higher 

temperature. The same is applicable to beans with a darker roasting colour or to freshly-roasted 

beans than those degassed over time.
