You may need to add some coffee. Tamping correctly the
ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If you
press too firmly, the coffee will be delivered slowly and will
be strong. If you press too lightly, the coffee will be deliv-
ered quickly and will be weak.
Barista Tips: Before placing the filter holder into the machine,
run a short flow of water through the coffee spout (A7). This will
stabilise the temperature before the extraction.
•
Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder
and attach the filter holder to the machine (fig. 5).
•
Place one cup or two cups on the drip tray (A8) under the
filter holder spouts. Use small cup tray (A13) for smaller
cups.
3.1 Coffee preparation temperature
The water temperature is controlled during the entire prepara-
tion process to ensure its stability during the extraction step. The
machine has 3 infusion temperatures.
The temperature effectively utilized will depend typically on the
variety of beans and the roast: Robusta beans require a lower
temperature, and Arabica beans a higher temperature. The
same applies for dark roasted beans or for light roasted beans,
respectively.
