Pre-brewing the coffee
When the pre-brewing function is
switched on, the freshly ground coffee
is first moistened with a little hot water.
Then the remaining water is forced
through the moistened coffee at high
pressure. This helps release the flavour
of the coffee.
The pre-brewing function can be
switched on or off. The machine is
delivered with pre-brewing switched
off.
SELECT TYPE OF DRINK will appear in

Press the OK button until MENU

Brewing temperature
The ideal brewing temperature will
depend on
– the type of coffee,
– whether an espresso or a coffee is
being prepared, and
– the altitude of the region.
If the coffee machine is located at more
than 2000 metres above sea level, the
brewing temperature needs to be set
lower due to the change in pressure.
This is because the boiling point for
water at a high altitude above sea level
is lower than the boiling point for water
at sea level.
You can set different temperatures for
espresso and coffee. There is a choice
of three temperatures:
– low
– normal
– high
TIP Not all types of coffee can
withstand a high temperature. Certain
types are too delicate - the crema on
top would not be as good and the taste
would be impaired.
