Changing the drink parameters
You can change the amount of ground
coffee, the pre-brewing and the
brewing temperature for each drink
individually.
From the "Drinks" menu:
^
Touch "Edit" or swipe the display until
"Make drinks" appears and then
touch it.
^
Touch "Change drink".
^
Swipe the display until the drink you
want appears and then touch it.
^ Touch "Drink parameters".
You can now
– change the amount of ground coffee,
– change the brewing temperature, or
– turn on the "Pre-brewing" option.
Amount of ground coffee
The coffee system can grind and brew
6-14 g of coffee per cup. The greater
the amount, the stronger the coffee or
espresso.
There are various ways to tell whether
the amount of ground coffee is set
correctly:
The amount is too small if
–
espresso or coffee flows into the cup
very quickly,
–
the crema is very pale and uneven,
–
the espresso or coffee lacks body.
Increase the amount of ground coffee
so that a stronger coffee is brewed.
The amount is too much if
–
espresso or coffee just drips into the
cup;
–
the crema is dark brown;
–
the espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the amount of ground coffee
so that a weaker coffee is brewed.
^
Touch "Amount of ground coffee".
^
Touch the bar for the amount you
want and then "OK".
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.
There are five brewing temperatures.
Tip: Not every coffee can tolerate high
temperatures. Certain types are too
delicate, so the crema on top is not as
good and the taste is adversely
affected.
^
Swipe the screen in the "Brewing
temperature" field until the setting you
want appears.
^
Touch "OK".
The setting is now saved.
