6.3.5 Turn off PID display feature
There is the option to turn the PID display off: Press the
+
button until the display turns off. A dot will appear
on the display, which indicates that the machine is still turned on. The display will be turned on again by
pressing the
+
button once more.
6.4 Preparing coffee
Use the portafilter with 1 spout and the corresponding filter (1 cup) for the preparation of 1 cup. Use the
portafilter with 2 spouts and the big filter (2 cups) for the preparation of 2 cups. Make sure that the filter is
firmly locked into the portafilter.
Fill the ground coffee with the respective grind for espresso into the filter. (The marking inside the filter
basket can help you find the right amount of coffee.)
Compress the ground coffee with the tamper. A tamping pressure of approx. 20 kg is recommended. Thus
the ground coffee is evenly compacted. Clamp the portafilter firmly into the brew group
Place the cup under the spout of the portafilter (for the preparation of 2 cups, put 1 cup under each spout).
Now move the brew lever into the upper position to start the brewing process. The timer on the PID-display
indicates the brewing time in seconds. In general, the brewing time should be around 20 to 25 seconds. The
volume for a single espresso is circa 20 to 30 ml. Place the brew lever back into the original position once
the desired volume is reached.
The remaining pressure/water will be discharged into the drip tray by the lower part of the brew groupe
cylinder.
The pump pressure can be read on the pump pressure gauge. After the brewing process, the gauge may still
indicate pressure. Only when preparing another cup of coffee will the build-up of pressure be visible again.
Caution!
If the group lever is not moved into the lower position properly, hot water and grounds will
squirt out of the brew group when taking out the portafilter. This may cause injury.
Only freshly ground coffee allows for an optimal coffee result.
Therefore, use a professional
coffee grinder. In our assortment you will find several professional and compact coffee
grinders
.
We recommend using a stainless steel tamper with a diameter of 58 mm for optimum
tamping.
6.5 Dispensing of hot water
1
Place an adequate water container (with a heat-insulated handle) under the hot water dispenser. It is
recommended to switch off the machine (position 0) to stop cold water from being pumped into the boiler
while dispensing. To dispense hot water (e. g. for tea) activate the hot water lever.
2
After dispensing water, switch the machine on (position 1) again. The boiler will be filled with fresh water
automatically.
The machines does not necessarily need to be switched off to dispense hot water. However,
when the machine is switched off, a larger quantityof hot water can be dispensed than when
it is on.
Ensure that the hot water nozzle of the dispenser is placed into the water container in order
to avoid injuries due to hot water spray or spillage.
6.5 Dispensing of steam
The TECHNIKA V Profi PID is able to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or froth beverages, e.
g. milk or punch. It is a professional and compact espresso coffee machine with an enormous steam
volume. Therfore, within a few seconds you can prepare milk froth. Please pay attention to the instructions
below. Do not bring the milk to a boil, otherwise frothing milk will not be possible.
