Each type of coffee differs in its form, colour, mix, taste etc. These many differences are attributable essentially to the particular grade of coffee which is used and/
or
to the roasting process.
Each type of coffee therefore has its own specific properties which must be taken
into account to optimize coffee quality.
The main aim is to ensure that the prepared coffee has the best possible appea-
rance, taste and consumption quality. Before starting to optimize coffee production
on the machine, the user must have an idea of the type of coffee which is used.

4. Optimize “double cups” coffee/espresso for run-out rate, run-out temperature,
foam and cup filling.
5. Optimize “single cup” coffee/espresso.
Guide values for a cup of standard coffee:
- Run-out rate:
for 1 cup standard coffee approx. 20 sec.
for 2 cups standard coffee approx. 30-35 sec.
- Run-out temp.:
- Piston temp.:
approx. 84°C
The run-out rate is influenced by the following factors:
- Grinding fineness
- Quantity ground
- Water pressure
- Water quantity
- Ball nozzle (foaming)
The quantity ground can be determined by inputting the grinding time (*) or the
quantity ground (**) in grams. Calibration must be effected to set the quantity
ground in grams. Calibrate each mill separately!
When adjusting the quantity ground with reference to the time factor, the quantity
