Technical Manual
•
Only use quality coffee. The type, roasting, mixture and strength should meet the wishes of your customers.
•
Always seal your supplies of coffee and close the bean hopper immediately.
•
Do not fill the bean hopper if the machine is not going to be used for a longer period of time (overnight, days off, etc.).
•
After not using the machine for a longer period of time, we recommend that you dispense a double coffee and pour it
away. The next coffee will then be of good quality.
•
Store your coffee supplies in a cool and dry area. By deep-freezing the coffee beans, you can keep them for
several months without quality loss.
In addition to being able to select the quantity of coffee powder, the coffee machine also offers special setting options for each
type of product. The parameters of the three following steps in the brewing process can be adjusted:
Prebrew time
This parameter defines how long the coffee-powder will be moistend in the brew chamber. This time is set optimally if no water
drips into the cup.
Relax time
During the relax time it is possible for the coffee powder to expand. During this process, the water already absorbes some of the
flavour in the coffee powder. For the ristretto and espresso, the relax time has to be longer than for a long coffee, for which only
a short or no prebrew and relax time should be set. The relax time is about the same or slightly higher than the prebrew time.
Press after
„Press after“ is the most important factor in the prebrew-cycle. Here, the expanded coffee powder will be pressed again. For
shorter coffee products like Ristretto and Espresso the press after time is set higher to reach the right dispensing time. The
basic rule is, that the brewing time should be the same for all products. That means, if the water quantity is low (Ristretto,
Espresso), the outlet time is shorter.
User
As an exclusive feature for the user, the machine offers the programm „Coffee Aroma“. This programm contains all the brewing
steps mentioned above, already preset and adjusted.
Service-Engineer
The trained service engineer and coffee specialist can adjust these steps separately.
