permanently, touch the plus sign in the mavigation bar, after making your changes
(see: ‘Memory Function’).
TOUCHSCREEN
You control the machine via the touchscreen—just as you are used to with your smart
phone. Despite of the grind size, you can control all functions and settings (amount
of coffee powder, drink volume, texture of the milk) quite easily via the screen.
Additionally, the machine can provide instructions and tips for several steps of opera-
tion: making of espresso or tea and cleaning and descaling. Let the machine guide
you through the various procedures (see: ‘Design of the Screen-Based Control’).
FUNCTIONS FOR CARE AND CLEANING
Procedures for cleaning the machine are provided at the “Maintenance” page:
• Thorough cleaning of the group head, filter holder, and espresso filters is performed
via the “Cleaning cycle”. For running this function, a cleaning tablet is required.
• The function “Steam wand cleaning” is used for purging the steam wand.
• The complete descaling procedure is programmed in the “Descaling cycle”. You
will need a heat-resistant vessel for at least 2.5 litres and the GASTROBACK Pre-
mium Descaler.
The machine guides you through the various steps of these procedures. Please fol-
low the instructions on the screen and, additionally, adhere to the instructions in this
booklet (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’ and ‘Descaling the Water System’).
MEMORY FUNCTION
The settings for making your drinks can be changed within a practical range, just before
starting the appropriate function. Any new settings will be active only until switching off
the machine. However, you may save your changes permanently via the plus sign in
the mavigation bar (see: ‘Entering Your Own Settings’). 12 memory places are offered,
and additionally, you can overwrite the internal default values with your own settings.
Even after switching off and unplugging the machine, your saved settings will be kept.
•
Saving as defaults:
The currently saved default values are set up automatically,
whenever the machine is switched on.
•
12 profiles of individual drinks:
For each type of drinks, 4 different profiles may
be saved. After touching the appropriate person icon, the page for preparing
the drink appears with your own settings already set.
All individual settings can be reset to factory settings (see: ‘Entering Your Own Set-
tings / Reset to Factory Settings’).
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
Preparing delightful coffee is an art you will learn quite easily using your new
»Design Espresso Barista Touch«. In this chapter, various useful tips for getting this
aim in reach are given.
For getting a really aromatic coffee, we recommend to extract no more than 30 ml
(use the 1 cup espresso filter) or, when making a double extraction, 60 ml (using
the 2 cups espresso filter).
Taste and flavour of your coffee depend on a lot of essential constituents: the type,
roast, and freshness of the coffee beans, the grind size (fine or coarse), dosage
and tamping pressure, the extraction volume (“Size”) and extraction time. Adapt
the factors of your extracting method in small steps one by one to achieve the taste
you prefer. As a starting point, we recommend to use the defaults of the appliance.
Some further tips are provided on the screen of the machine (e.g. selecting the optimum espres-
so filter; see: ‘Design of the Screen-Based Control / Notes and Instructions on the Screen’).
