Amount of coffee

The amount of coffee will determine both the strength and the crema of your brewed coffee.

Depending on the type of coffee, the ideal amount ranges from approximately 0.2 ounces and 0.5 ounces (6 g to 14 g per) cup. The higher the value, the stronger the prepared espresso, coffee, latte macchiato, or cappuccino will be.

The crema is also influenced by the amount of coffee.

If the crema has an even but white/yellow coloring, the ground amount might be too little.

If the crema is dark brown to black in color on the one side and almost white on the other side, the amount of coffee might be too much.

Pre-brewing

During the pre-brew step, the freshly ground coffee is first moistened with hot water. After a short steeping period, the remaining water is then forced through the moistened coffee at high pressure. This process produces a much more intense coffee aroma.

If the function is turned off, the hot water will be immediately pushed at a high pressure through the ground coffee.

You can program normal or long pre-brew or turn the pre-brew function off. The default factory setting for the pre-brewfunction of your machine is Off (= without).
