ENJOYING IS MORE THAN JUST HAVING A CUP OF COFFEE!
The development of espresso technology, which is used in the Graef group handle
espresso machines, dates back to the year 1901. Finely ground coffee grounds are
extracted in the machine under high pressure (about 9 bar) in approx. 23 seconds.
In case of group handle espresso machines, the removable group handle is manu-
ally filled with coffee grounds and then pressed into the filter insert of the group
handle - a process which is called "Tamping".
To prepare a good espresso, the 4-M formula is a good starting point.
1. The Mixture (Miscela)
-
Selection of coffee beans.
2. The Mill (Macinacaffè)
-
A good mill by means of which coffee is always freshly
ground, such as the Graef coffee grinders CM 702, CM 800, CM 802 or CM 900.
3. The Machine (Macchina)
-
A good device which generates optimal water pres-
sure.
4. Made by human hand (Mano)
-
Due to manual operation, espresso is prepa-
red and coordinated with the 3 other factors.
