TIPS AND TRICKS
Water quality has a strong influence on the quality of the aromas. Limescale and chlorine can alter the taste of coffee. To
preserve the aromas of your coffee, we recommend you to use the Claris – Aqua Filter System cartridge, or bottled water
with dry residues below 800 mg/L (look on the bottle's label). See the "FILTER AND WATER HARDNESS" section.
When preparing drinks, we recommend using preheated cups (by running them under hot water) of an appropriate size
for your desired quantity.
The roasted coffee beans can lose their aroma if they are not protected. We advise that you use an amount of beans
equivalent to your consumption over the next 2-3 days and that you choose 250 g bags.
The quality of the coffee beans is variable and tastes are subjective. Arabica will give you fine, floral aromas, while Robusta,
which has a higher caffeine content, is more bitter and full-bodied. It is common to mix the two types of coffee to get a
.
more balanced coffee. Contact your roaster for further advice.
We do not recommend using oily and caramelised beans as these can damage the machine.
The fineness of the ground beans influences the strength of the aromas and the quality of the crema. The more finely
ground the beans, the smoother the crema. Grinding can also be adapted for the desired drink.
WHAT DOES THE INTUITIVE LIGHT INDICATOR DO?
Your Intuition machine features smart, bright technology to make your day easier: Intuitive Light Indicator (J). This technology
has a dual functionality:
1. The machine automatically detects and controls the levels of coffee beans, water and coffee grounds.
When you need to fill or empty your containers, or when maintenance is required, the red light alert comes on, signalling
you to follow the information on the screen.
2. The Intuitive Light Indicator also allows you to customise your experience. By saving or editing your drinks in your favourites,
you can assign a colour to each drink. See the "MY FAVOURITES" chapter.
