Dear Customer,
Thank you for having purchased this
Rowenta Automatic
. We are sure you will enjoy both the qua-
lity of the coffee it makes and how easy it is to use.
Whether you want a short, strong shot of a ristretto, a good espresso, a larger and milder lungo, or
a creamy cappuccino, your automatic coffee / espresso machine has been designed so you can
enjoy the same quality at home as at the bistro, whatever the time of day and right through the
week.
Thanks to its Thermoblock System, its 15 bar pump and because it uses real coffee beans that are
ground just before the coffee is made, your
Rowenta Automatic
will give you a drink containing
maximum aroma, with a fine creamy golden brown top produced by the natural oils contained in
coffee beans.
Drink your espresso from small porcelain cups rather than the usual coffee cup or mug. To obtain
an espresso at just the right temperature and a nice compact creamy top, we advise you to pre-heat
your cup.
After a few trial runs you will find the type of mix and roast of the coffee beans that suits your taste.
The quality of the water used is obviously another essential factor in the coffee you get.
Make sure the water is fresh from the tap (contact with the air tends to make it stale), that it is free
from chlorine odours and relatively cold.
Espresso coffee is richer in aroma than a conventional filter coffee. Despite its stronger, longer
lasting taste, espresso in fact contains less caffeine than filter coffee (about 60 to 80 mg a cup as
compared with 80 to 100 mg a cup). This is due to the shorter percolation time.
Due to the visibility of the containers and its automatic cleaning and scale removal programs, your
Espresseria Automatic is extremely easy to use.
