Control over Temperature

 

Pressure Control

  • Pre-Infusion (Volumetric Dosing Only): This feature comes disabled but can be enabled in advanced programming.
     
  • Soft Infusion System: Provides you peace of mind over quality and product consistency, no matter who operates your machine. Soft Infusion System addresses a common concern for espresso businesses. Water hitting coffee grounds at full pressure can act like a drill creating  holes through the coffee bed. These channels will create an uneven coffee saturation which will effect your brewing time and the taste of your coffee. The purpose of the soft infusion system is to postpone water at high pressure from initially being introduced to the coffee grounds. The Soft Infusion Systiem is made up of a chamber inside the brew group which is placed before the shower screen. When you begin to brew, the water enters the chamber first, which dramatically reduces the force of the water down to just a gentle wetting on the the gounds bed. This wetting prepares the grounds before normal brewing pressure. Only once the chamber fills, will the machine operate at full pressure.(appoximately 9 Bar).  By slowly introducing water to the coffee bed, this also allows the water to evenly saturate your coffee, correcting any fissures or air pockets caused by uneven tamping.
     
  • USB (Volumetric Dosing Only): Download information from your espresso machine to a USB stick for counters, errors and values for business and technical analysis. Back up feature, saves only programming values if for some reason they were accidentally erased, electronics were replaced or for duplication on multiple machines. Also used by technicians for necessary software updates.
