Quantity of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and brew
6–14g of coffee beans per cup. The
greater the quantity, the stronger the
coffee.
The quantity of coffee is too low if the
espresso or coffee lacks body.
Increase the quantity of coffee so that
more ground coffee is brewed.
The quantity of coffee is too high if the
espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the quantity of coffee so that
less ground coffee is brewed.
Tip: If the coffee is too strong for you or
it tastes bitter, try a different type of
bean.
Brewing temperature
The brewing temperature must be
adapted to the beans you are using and
how they are roasted. It also varies
depending on whether you are making
espresso or coffee.
Some bean types are sensitive to high
brewing temperatures, resulting in an
impaired taste. If your coffee tastes
bitter, the brewing temperature you
have selected might be too high.
Espresso is usually brewed at higher
temperatures.
Pre-brewing the ground coffee
When the pre-brewing function is
turned on, the ground coffee is first
moistened with a little hot water. The
ground coffee swells a little. The
remaining amount of water is then
pressed through the moistened coffee
grounds shortly after. If your coffee
tastes too bland and you want to add
some spice and richness, try the “Pre-
brewing” function. Depending on the
type of coffee used, pre-brewing can
intensify the taste.
You can set a short or long duration for
pre-brewing or turn the “Pre-brewing”
function off completely.
Tip: We particularly recommend using
the “Pre-brewing” function to make
coffee.
