Coffee the way you like it

Pre-brewing the coffee

When the pre-brewing function is switched on, the freshly ground coffee is first moistened with a little hot water. Then the remaining water is forced through the moistened coffee at high pressure. This helps release the flavour of the coffee.

The pre-brewing function can be switched on or off. The machine is delivered with pre-brewing switched off.

Brewing temperature

The ideal brewing temperature will depend on

–the type of coffee,

–whether an espresso or a coffee is being prepared, and

–the altitude of the region.

If the coffee machine is located at more than 2000 metres above sea level, the brewing temperature needs to be set lower due to the change in pressure. This is because the boiling point for water at a high altitude above sea level is lower than the boiling point for water at sea level.

You can set different temperatures for espresso and coffee. There is a choice of three temperatures:

–low

–normal

–high

TIP Not all types of coffee can withstand a high temperature. Certain types are too delicate - the crema on top would not be as good and the taste would be impaired.
