Adjusting the strength of the coffee

Amount of coffee

The coffee machine can grind and brew 6-14 g of coffee per cup. The greater the quantity, the stronger the coffee or espresso.

There are various ways to tell whether the amount of coffee is set correctly.

The amount of coffee is too low, if

–espresso or coffee flows into the cup too quickly.

–the crema is very pale and uneven.

–the espresso or coffee lacks body.

Increase the amount of coffee so that more ground coffee is brewed.

The amount of coffee is too high, if

–espresso or coffee flows into the cup very slowly.

–the crema is dark brown.

–the espresso or coffee tastes bitter.

Decrease the amount of coffee so that less ground coffee is brewed.
