Welcome to BODUM ®
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a GRANOS Espresso machine. We hope you will enjoy using this BODUM® product.
Several BODUM® coffees are perfect for espresso brewing – BODUM’s Best, BODUM Espresso, BODUM Sumatra, BODUM French Roast and BODUM Estate Decaf all lend themselves to this classic method of brewing. Each of these coffees is hand- roasted and ‘cupped’ (taste-tested) for quality several times before being packed for sale. The perfect shot of espresso, however, requires more than just carefully selected, blended, and hand-roasted beans. Making great espresso requires a great espresso machine. The combination of high coffee quality, fresh water and mechanical excellence ensures an optimal espresso every time – a final brew that is characteristically rich, with crema crowning each cup.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD COFFEE?
There are many factors that contribute to the perfect coffee. The words ‘taste’ and ‘aroma’ are consistently used
when describing the perfect cup. The sweet aroma and taste of the perfect coffee is largely due to the correct combination of temperature and pressure during the brewing process. The ‘Thermoblock’ heating system ensures the water is at the correct temperature, so that the full coffee flavor is extracted. Secondly, the combination of the 19 BAR pump, dual-wall filter and stabilizing baffle ensure to release the correct pressure at which the liquid espresso is released from the spout. The flow should consist of both liquid and cream. This cream is commonly known as the Crema. The perfect Crema should be thick and stable and preserve the coffee flavor, aroma and temperature.
We hope you have many enjoyable coffee experiences with the BODUM® GRANOS Espresso Machine.
