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-brew function of your machine is
Off (= without).
^Select "Settings F", and confirm with
