The advantage of the pre-infusion cylinder over a reduced flow-rate at start is that the entire coffee-
bed will be soaked relatively quick and then has time to swell and settle at reduced but increasing
pressure before high water pressure is reached. With reduced flow-rate during pre-infusion it will take
longer to wet all coffee and swelling and setting of the coffee-grinds starts where water reaches the
grinds first such that the upper part of the coffee-bed becomes less permeable to the later inflow.
Control panel
Note!
Remnants of detergent may unexpectedly activate the capacitive screen. For that reason you should
use plain (warm) water and a soft cloth only to clean the plastic front panel.
The control panels of the Triplette and Duette are very similar and have a 5-
“button” capacitive touch
screen. When at operation, the display will show the temperatures in °C or °F without the temperature
unit. The reason for this is that not showing the unit allows the use of a bigger font for the temperature
values. The user will be aware of the local unit-setting and realise that normal brewing is at 88-95°C or
190-203°F.

The factory set operational temperatures of the boilers are 93.0°C (coffee) and 125.0°C (steam)
(199°F and 257°F) respectively. 125°C is equivalent to approximately 1.35 Bar steam overpressure.
Each boiler can be individually set to a lower ECO temperature (50°C, 122°F for the coffee boilers,
70°C, 158°F for the steam boiler). At the lower temperature setting up to 80% power is saved while the
boiler will still have a short heat-up time (appr. 8 minutes)
. In the “operational window” of the interface,
touch-hold the button of the boiler that you want to change until the colour of the button-frame
changes to green (about 6 seconds) and the temperature value is replaced with ECO. Touch-hold
again and the corresponding boiler will heat up to operational temperature again.
An individual group set at ECO will also turn to normal operation when the corresponding Bastone unit
or touchpad is operated.
When the steam boiler is set to ECO, using any of the groups to make a brew or pressing the mix-
water switch will turn the steam boiler back to normal operation.
