ÉTAPE 5 – RÉGLER LA MOUTURE

ÉTAPE 6 – AJUSTER LA DOSE

Quand vous réglez la mouture, assurez-vous qu’elle soit fine mais pas trop ni poudreuse. Car elle affectera le débit d’eau traversant le café dans le porte-filtre et, par le fait même, le goût du café.

Si la mouture est trop fine (ressemble à de la poudre et a la texture de la farine quand on la presse entre ses doigts), l’eau ne traversera pas le café, même avec la pression. Il en résultera un café surextrait, trop foncé et amer, avec un ‘crema’ tacheté et inégal sur le dessus.

Si la mouture est trop grossière, l’eau la traversera trop vite. Il en résultera un café sous- extrait, peu savoureux et sans ‘crema’ onctueux sur le dessus.

Lorsque vous choisissez le panier-filtre à simple paroi avec une mouture plus fine, vous aurez à augmenter la dose pour que le panier-filtre soit correctement rempli.

Pour augmenter la dose, tourner le bouton d’ajustement de la dose (Dose Adjust) de la fonction DUAL WALL afin d’obtenir la quantité exact de mouture.

NOTE: Vous aurez peut-être à pratiquer cette opération quelques fois en ajustant légèrement la dose (Dose Ajust) jusqu’à ce que vous atteigniez la quantité requise.
