V OPERATING AND SAFETY INFORMATION
• The BRITA INTENZA water lter cartridge is designed for use only with municipally
treated tap water (note: this water is constantly controlled and according to legal
regulations safe to drink) or with water from private supplies which has been
approved as safe to drink. If an instruction is received from the authorities that mains
water must be boiled, the ltered water must also be boiled. When the instruction
to boil water is no longer in force, the entire coee machine must be cleaned and a
new cartridge inserted.
• Filter cold water only.
• Store replacement ter cartridges in a cool and dry place in their original, sealed
packaging.
• Clean the water tank regularly.
• For certain groups of people (e.g. people with weakened immune systems, babies) it
is generally recommended to boil tap water. This also applies to ltered water.
• Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: during the lter process,
the potassium content may be increased slightly. Il you suer from kidney disease
and/or follow a potassium restricted diet, we recommend prior agreement with
your doctor. The amount of released potassium in 1L of ltered water is lower then
potassium contained in either an apple or a banana.
• As water is a foodstu, the water in the tank must be used up within 1 day.
• Should your machine not be in use for a prolonged period (e.g. holiday) we
recommend that you discard any water left inside the tank and leave the cartridge
inside. Before using the machine again, take out the cartridge, clean the water tank
and reinitiate the cartridge as described in the instructions above.
• Should your machine require descaling, always remove the water lter cartridge
from the water tank. After the descaling procedure clean thoroughly the whole
water tank and reinitiate the cartridge as described in the instructions above.
• BRITA cannot accept any responsibility or liability if the above recommendations for
the use and changing of the BRITA INTENZA water lter cartridge are not respected.

V TIPS FOR A PERFECT ESPRESSO
The taste of an espresso is inuenced by the following factors:
• Coee type
• Grind size
• Amount of coee ground
• Tamping pressure
• Brewing time
• Brewing pressure
Consult the table below for how to use dierent settings for a dierent taste.
Espresso propertiesStronger, bitter, and
smaller espresso
Grind sizeFiner grind sizeCoarser grind size
AmountMore coee groundLess coee ground
Tamping pressureMore rmMore gently
Brewing timeLongerShorter
The manometer must always stay within 6 – 13 bar during the extraction. When the
4
pressure is too low during the process, try making a stronger espresso and vice versa.
To ensure a good espresso, the appliance, the portalter, and the used cups must be
4
preheated.
