Relevance Of Extraction Pressure; Customizing The Volume Of Espresso, Cappuccino And Latte Macchiato; Adding Frothed Milk/Frothing Milk Manually - Gastroback DESIGN ESPRESSO PICCOLO PRO M Bedienungsanleitung

RELEVANCE OF EXTRACTION PRESSURE

• The gauge needle indicates the extraction pressure.
• A pressure within the "ESPRESSO RANGE" highlighted in grey on the gauge is ideal.
• When the gauge needle is below the "ESPRESSO RANGE" during extraction,
this indicates the espresso has been extracted with insufficient pressure. This can
happen when the water flow through the ground coffee is too fast, resulting in an
under-extracted espresso that is watery, cold and lacks crema and flavor. Possible
causes for under-extraction include the grind being too coarse, insufficient coffee
in the filter, insufficient tamping, or a combination of any of these. To resolve this:
• Select a finer coffee grind and retry.
• Increase the amount of coffee and retry.
• Increase the tamping pressure and retry.
• When the gauge needle is beyond the "ESPRESSO RANGE" during extraction,
this indicates the espresso has been extracted with too much pressure. This can
happen when the water flow through the ground coffee is too slow, resulting in
an over-extracted espresso that is very dark and bitter with a mottled and uneven
crema. Possible causes for over-extraction include the grind being too fine, too
much ground coffee in the filter, over tamping or a combination of any of these.
To resolve this:
• Select a coarser coffee grind and retry.
• Decrease the amount of coffee and retry.
• Decrease the tamping pressure and retry.
