PROPERTIES OF YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE
The Design Espresso Barista Touch can make espressi for a broad variety of coffee
drinks. For special milk-based coffee drinks, milk can be textured (frothed) via the
steam function. Additionally, the required hot water for various types of tea and other
hot drinks is provided. Use this chapter for getting an overview on the features of
your new espresso machine.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL
The essential functions of the machine are controlled automatically: The grinding
amount, provided via the grinder, the complete course of the extraction from the
pre-injection to giving off the pre-selected extraction volume, the steam function for
texturing milk, and the amount of hot water for tea.
Additionally, the optimum water temperature for the various special coffee drinks and
types of tea is controlled automatically for assuring that the optimum temperature is met.
You can adapt the used settings for each of the programmed beverages to your
individual likings and save your settings to memory places of the appiance (see:
‘Memory Function’).
PRE-INJECTION
During espresso extraction the pump moistens the coffee powder with some water
first (pre-injection). This method allows that the coffee powder swells up, before the
actual extraction starts and the pump operates with full power. Therefore, a signifi-
cantly higher pressure can be reached and the oils and flavours of the coffee pow-
der are extracted much better.
SLEEP MODE AND AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
Sleep mode:
When the machine is idle for approx. 5 minutes, the currently displa-
yed page on the screen vanishes and the internal clock is shown at the centre of the
display. Touch the displayed time for recalling the previously shown page.
Automatic shut-off:
After approx. 30 minutes of being idle, the machine switches
off completely. For resuming operation, press the on/off button.
IMPORTANT -
Always switch off and unplug the machine, when it is not in use.
This helps avoiding useless energy loss and improves safety.
