Tips and tricks
Varieties of coffee
Coffee is assessed by its qualities such as acidity, aroma, body and
fragrance. 100 % Arabica guarantees top quality. In the end, the
choice of top-quality coffee that comes to your breakfast table is a
matter of your individual taste.
Quantity of coffee beans
Once roasted coffee beans have been unpacked, they lose their
aromatic components within days. Therefore, only pour as many
beans into the coffee bean hopper as you expect to use in the next
few days; frequent topping off is better.
Storage
For best preservation of the aroma, seal your coffee well and store
it in a cool dry place, free of odours, since dampness and oxygen are
the number one aroma killers.
Cleaning the bean hopper
Coffee contains oils and fats which become deposited on the
surfaces of the hopper. In the presence of oxygen, these oils oxidise
and seriously affect the taste of the coffee. Therefore, regularly rub
down the bean hopper - depending on usage - using a dry, lint-free
cloth.
Types of milk
Milk foam comprises the protein elements in the milk. A high
protein content in the milk increases the quality and stability of the
milk foam.
Refrigerate milk
Milk is a very sensitive food. We recommend keeping milk in the
refrigerator before use. Not long after taking from the refrigerator,
return unused milk to the refrigerator, or use the milk cooler.
Hygiene
Take care to maintain absolute cleanliness when opening milk
packaging and when handling the milk hose.
Dirty hands and utensils can introduce harmful bacteria into the
milk. Unopened UHT milk is generally free of harmful bacteria.
Care
The care of the WMF 800 is particularly important for perfectly
prepared coffee. Therefore, run the appropriate care programs as
requested on the display, and also regularly perform manual care.
