and most aromatic cup of coffee. This is also the reason why many European restaurants and hotels will serve you freshly pressured brewed coffee only. Experiment with your new machine and prepare yourself the best and most enjoyable cup of coffee!
4.1 PRESSURE BREWING
You can make any quantity of coffee from 1⁄2 oz. to 16 oz. Please note: in order to create the "crema" on top of your coffee, the machine brews coffee at slightly lower temperatures than a drip coffee maker. Since your coffee is delivered directly into your cup we recommend to enjoy it immediately.
4.2 DIFFERENT COFFEE DRINKS
Here are some guidelines for the most popular coffee drinks:
•Ristretto: 1⁄2 to I oz. of coffee.
•Espresso: 1 to 2 oz. coffee.
•Double Shot: 3 to 4 oz. of coffee.
Definitely add a bit of sugar to the above drinks.
•Crema Coffee: 5 oz. to 7 1⁄2 oz. of coffee
•Cappuccino: Espresso plus 3 to 4 oz. of hot frothed milk.
•Latte: Espresso plus 3 to 5 oz. of steamed milk with little or no froth.
•Café Mocha: add chocolate syrup to the milk before frothing/steaming.
Experiment with the size of your milk based drinks. For stronger coffee taste add more coffee, for more milk taste use more frothed milk.
4.3 COFFEE FACTS
•Caffeine is tasteless. A "strong" coffee or espresso is mostly the result of the amount of coffee in relation to the amount of water. The longer a bean is roasted, the less caffeine it has.
•Arabica and Robusta are two genetically different kinds of beans. "Arabica" beans have more flavor and a little less caffeine than "Robusta" beans which are mostly used in lower priced coffees and instant coffees.
•Espresso is not a bean, it's the way the coffee is roasted and prepared. Typical US espresso roasts result in darker beans with an oily outside. European espresso roasts are medium brown with no or very little oils showing on the outside. Please note: If you use dark, oily beans, see chapter 8 for special handling.
5.PLEASE, DON’T... (or you void your warranty protection):
• Never fill instant coffee into the grinder or ground coffee funnel it can damage the functioning of the brewing chamber.
• Never fill sugar coated coffee beans into the bean container.
• Never fill frozen beans into the bean container. If you store beans in the freezer, let them thaw for 3 to 4 hours before filling them into the bean container.
• Never fill anything other than coffee beans into the bean con- tainer (no chocolate, rice, nuts, spices, etc.
• Never fill anything but fresh, cold clean water into the water container, except when decalcifying (chapter 17.2).
• Never use mineral or carbonated water. You can use tap water, spring water, distilled water and reverse osmosis water.
• Never repair or open the machine yourself. All repairs should be performed only by an authorized service center.
