If you want to restore the grinder to its factory settings, press the hot water button, the single button,
and the double button simultaneously until you hear a signal.
TIPS FOR A PERFECT ESPRESSO
·
Read the instruction on the coffee bean packaging. It often provides recommendations. Save your
coffee beans in a closed container in a cool place, e.g. your fridge. Do not overfill the bean reservoir.
Coffee beans exposed to air lose their taste within a few days. With ground coffee, this can even occur
within a few hours.
·
To achieve the optimal coffee temperature, we recommend that you heat up the unit and the cup. Use
the same method as for preparing coffee, but do not add ground coffee to the filter of the portafilter.
Keep your cups above the unit, which acts as a cup warmer.
·
Grind 7-9 grams of coffee for a perfect espresso. You can adjust the grinding time. How long the unit
takes to provide 7-9 grams of ground coffee depends on the coarseness setting and type of coffee
bean.
·
Always make sure that the ground coffee is evenly spread out in the filter. This improves the
permeation effect. Water by its nature flows along the easiest path with least resistance (i.e. the least
coffee). Now press with the tamper with a force of 15-20 kg. You can practice with a scale to estimate
how much pressure you need with the tamper. Remove any excess coffee from the edge to prevent
loose ground coffee dropping into your cup.
·
The perfect espresso is 35 ml and takes 25-30 seconds to complete. If it takes more or less time to
finish, adjust the coarseness of the ground coffee. If it takes less time, your grind is probably too
coarse and the coffee will taste weak. If it takes more time, your grind is too fine and the coffee will
taste too bitter.
·
The best result is obtained with a pressure between 9 and 12 bar. The 'Settings/Pressure gauge'
section explains how to obtain this.
