Amount of coffee
The coffee machine can grind and brew
6–14 g of coffee beans per cup. The
greater the amount, the stronger the
coffee.
The amount of coffee is too low if the
espresso or coffee lacks body.
Increase the amount of coffee so that
more ground coffee is brewed.
The amount of coffee is too high if the
espresso or coffee tastes bitter.
Decrease the amount of coffee so that
less ground coffee is brewed.

Tip: If the coffee is too strong for you or
it tastes bitter, try a different type of
bean.
Brewing temperature
The brewing temperature must be
adapted to the roast of the beans you
are using. This is crucial whether you
are making espresso or coffee.
Several types are sensitive to high
brewing temperatures, resulting in an
impaired taste. If your coffee tastes
bitter, the brewing temperature you
have selected might be too high.
Espresso is usually brewed at higher
temperatures.
Pre-brewing ground coffee
When the pre-brewing function is
turned on, the ground coffee is first
moistened with a little hot water. The
ground coffee swells a little. Then the
remaining water is forced through the
moistened coffee at high pressure. If
your coffee tastes too bland and you
want too add some spice and richness,
try the "Pre-brewing" function.
Depending on the type of coffee used,
pre-brewing can intensify the taste.
You can set a short or long duration for
pre-brewing or turn the "Pre-brewing"
function off completely.
Tip: It is particularly recommended to
use the "Pre-brewing" function to make
coffee.
