COFFEE MAKING TIPS
PURGE THE GROUP HEAD
Before inserting the filter holder, run some water
through the group head. It will ensure that your
machine has a last minute «clean through» and
stabilises the temperature prior to extracting.
BREWING YOUR ESPRESSO
The most common mistake in brewing is to over
extract from your ground coffee. This results in
a bitter beverage with visibly bleached crema.
Crema is the caramel coloured layer that floats
on top of the coffee following extraction.
NOTE:
The taste of your coffee will, of course, de-
pend on personal preference and on many
other factors such as the type of coffee bean
used, the coarseness or fineness of the grind
and the tamping pressure. We recommend
experimenting by varying these factors to
achieve the coffee taste of your preference.
