Quantity of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and brew
6–14 g of coffee beans per cup. The
greater the quantity, the stronger the
coffee.
There are various ways to tell whether
the quantity of coffee is set correctly:
The quantity of coffee is too low if:
- The espresso or coffee flows into the
cup too quickly.
- The crema is very pale and uneven.
- The espresso or coffee lacks body.
Increase the quantity of coffee so that
more ground coffee is brewed.
The quantity of coffee is too high if:
- The espresso or coffee flows into the
cup very slowly.
- The crema is dark brown.
- The espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the quantity of coffee so that
less ground coffee is brewed.
Useful tip: If the coffee is too strong for
you or it tastes bitter, try a different type
of bean.
Brewing temperature
The brewing temperature must be
adapted to the roast of the beans you
are using. This is crucial whether you
are making espresso or coffee.
Several types are sensitive to high
brewing temperatures, resulting in an
impaired taste. If your coffee tastes
bitter, the brewing temperature you
have selected might be too high.
Espresso is usually brewed at higher
temperatures.
Pre-brewing the ground coffee
When the pre-brewing function is
turned on, the freshly ground coffee is
first moistened with a little hot water.
The remaining amount of water is then
pressed through the moistened coffee
grounds shortly after. This releases the
aromas of the coffee better.
You can set a short or long duration for
pre-brewing or turn the “Pre-brewing”
function off completely.
