5. Bedryfsinstruksies

5.1. Espresso maak

Achieve optimal espresso extraction with precise temperature and pressure.

1. Berei koffiegronde voor: Use freshly ground coffee. The grind size should be fine, similar to sugar, for proper extraction.
2. Vul Portafilter: Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter basket within the portafilter.
3. Tamp Koffie: Gebruik byampom die koffiegronde stewig en eweredig te druk. Maak seker dat die oppervlak gelyk is.
4. Heg Portafilter aan: Securely attach the portafilter to the brewing head by inserting it and twisting it to the right until it is tight.
5. Plekbeker: Position one or two espresso cups on the drip tray directly under the portafilter spouts.
6. Brou Espresso: Select the desired espresso shot (single or double) on the control panel. The machine will initiate a pre-infusion phase, gently soaking the coffee grounds, followed by a 20-bar high-pressure extraction at a precise water temperature of 198°F (92°C).

Prent 5.1.1: Diagram illustrating the pre-infusion function. This image shows how water gently saturates the coffee grounds before full pressure is applied, ensuring a smoother and more even extraction compared to brewing without pre-infusion.

Prent 5.1.2: A close-up of espresso pouring from the portafilter into a white cup, demonstrating the rich crema. The image highlights the key parameters for a great coffee: 198°F water temperature, 20 bar pressure, and pre-infusion.

5.2. Skuimende Melk

Use the powerful steam system to create creamy milk foam for lattes and cappuccinos.

2. Aktiveer Steam: Turn the steam knob or press the steam button on the control panel. Wait for the machine to reach steaming temperature (indicated by the LED display or indicator light).
3. Posisie Stoomstaaf: Dompel die punt van die stoompyp net onder die oppervlak van die melk.
4. Skuimmelk: Open the steam valve. Lower the pitcher slightly to introduce air for foam, then raise it to heat the milk. Continue until desired temperature and texture are achieved.
5. Maak stoompyp skoon: Immediately after frothing, close the steam valve, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth, and briefly purge steam to clear any milk residue.
