Emptying the Sieve Insert
1. Tap out the porta昀椀lter over a dustbin or knock box. When you do this, make sure that the
sieve insert does not fall out at the same time.
2. Remove the sieve insert (see the "Preparation of the Device" chapter – "Inserting / Removing
the Sieve Insert").
3. Clean the sieve insert (see the "Cleaning and Care" chapter).
Do you not have a suitable knock box available? But is opening the dustbin each time too much
hassle for you? Not a problem! This is no longer a problem with our BEEM Knock Box (article number
03994). This attractive knock box has a silicone-covered knocking bar – this protects the porta昀椀lter
and makes it easier to clean later on. And with a capacity of 650 ml, the BEEM Knock Box offers
plenty of space for several rounds of making coffee.
Tips
To enjoy an aromatic espresso or coffee, please note the following tips:
Always preheat the cups on the hotplate (7).
•
Rinse out the cups with hot water immediately before using them.
•
Always 昀椀ll the water tank (6) with fresh water. Do not use any water that has been in the
•
water tank for longer than 12 hours.
After the device has heated up, 昀椀rst allow hot water for 1 – 2 double espressos to run
•
through the sieve insert (17, 21) and the porta昀椀lter (16) before you 昀椀ll them with espresso
powder to preheat the porta昀椀lter.
If you want to make milk froth, once the device has heated up 昀椀rst allow hot steam to run
•
through the steam nozzle (9).
If possible, always use freshly ground espresso powder to achieve an optimum 昀氀avour.
•
Do not press down the espresso powder in the porta昀椀lter too 昀椀rmly. If the espresso powder
•
is pressed too much, the process may be aborted or the preparation time may be increased,
thus producing increased levels of bitter compounds.
You can use a scale to measure the contact pressure. The ideal contact pressure is approx.
10 –12 kg. After pressing, there must still be a clear gap of approx. 6 mm below the edge of the
sieve.
We recommend starting with a processing time of between 25 and 30 seconds and gradually
•
working your way up to the perfect setting for your own personal taste. Brewing times of
more than 35 seconds will produce a very bitter drink.
Empty and clean the sieve insert after each use.
•
Regularly clean and descale the device (see the "Cleaning and Care" chapter – "Descaling").
•
A dirty and / or furred-up device compromises the 昀氀avour.
