The timer on the PID-display indicates the brewing time in seconds. In general, the brewing time should be
around 23 to 25 seconds. The volume for a single espresso is circa 25 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 through the lower part of the infusion
cylinder.
Caution!
If the group lever is not moved into the lower position properly, hot water and grounds disposal
will squirt out of the brew group while taking out the portafilter. This may cause injuries.
Improtant
An optimal coffee result is only possible with freshly ground beans.
Only with the correct / fine grinding degree and the correct pressing with the tamper the pump
pressure gauge rise.
6.5 Dispensing of hot water
Place an adequate container (with heat-insulated handle) under the steam/ hot water dispenser. You can
dispense hot water by activating the pump/ hot water switch and opening the valve. The machine must be in
the coffee function. Steam function must be switched off, danger of inury!
Caution!
Always keep the steam nozzle underneath the surface of the liquid in order to avoid
sprayings. This may cause injuries.
6.6 Dispensing of steam
The CLASSIKA PID
makes it possible to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or froth beverages,
e.g. milk or punch.
Please follow the instructions below. Do not bring the milk to a boil, otherwise frothing milk will not be
possible. For cappuccino and white coffee preparation, first brew the coffee and
then
start steam
dispensing.
For high-pressure steam dispensing, the water in the boiler has to be heated to more than 100 °C.
Important!
Activate the steam switch by moving it into the upper position, lamp for heating control goes
on. The indicator of the pump pressure gauge may move slightly.
Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds
in order to reduce the boilers water capacity and generate a
larger steam volume. Repeat this process twice in intervals of 20 seconds and wait until the lamp for
heating control switches off or as soon as the temperature is reached.
Repeat as necessary. The more
water escapes, the "drier" the steam will be.
Immerse the steam nozzle at the end of the steam dispenser into the liquid. Now re-open the steam
dispenser and heat or froth the liquid.
Caution!
Always keep the steam nozzle underneath the surface of the liquid in order to avoid
sprayings.
This may cause injuries.
Switch off the steam function.
Advice
After frothing or heating the milk, release the steam into the drip tray to keep the steam
nozzle holes clean.
Clean the steam nozzle and the steam dispenser after every use with a damp cloth in order
to remove possible liquid residues.
