The current settings for the amount of coffee, brewing temperature, and prebrewing will be displayed for this drink. Select Amount of coffee, Brew temperature, or Pre-brewing. Select the setting you want and confirm with OK. The setting is now saved. CM 5410, CM 5510, CM 5710: The changed parameter is always saved in the current profile. The name of the current profile is shown in the top left of the display. Amount of coffee The coffee machine can grind and brew 6-14 g of coffee beans per cup. The greater the quantity, the stronger the coffee. There are various ways to tell whether the amount of coffee is set correctly: The amount of coffee is too low if: - the espresso or coffee flows into the cup too quickly - the crema is very pale and uneven - 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 flows into the cup very slowly - the crema is dark brown - 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 freshly ground coffee is first moistened with a little hot water. Then the remaining water is forced through the moistened coffee at high pressure. This helps release the flavor of the coffee. You can set a short or long duration for pre-brewing or turn the "Pre-brewing" function off completely. 33
