Italian coffee machine, is the use of pressure to quickly pass through the steam coffee powder, extract the best components of coffee, so the steam in the coffee powder stay time, directly affect the quality of the brewed coffee.

operation steps

Step 1 Spoon the coffee grounds into the coffee filter lid, visually check the coffee above the level of the lid, and use a flat knife or spoon to remove the excess coffee grounds.

Step 2 Knock the coffee filter cover flat to make the coffee powder evenly distributed, which is why the better Italian coffee machine uses heavier metal to make the coffee filter cover. Because if it is other materials, it may not withstand too many heavy knocks.

Step 3: press the coffee powder in the lid with a press rod. When pressing coffee powder, it is best to pay attention to maintaining the level of coffee powder, otherwise the steam will be uneven. It is best to use the muscles under the thumb to press, and the force is easier to average. And how much pressure you need, you can try it a few times. The important thing is to try the same batch of coffee powder several times before you can master the correspondence between your pressing method and the machine function.

Step 4: Knock off the coffee powder on the edge of the coffee powder surface (drum horizontally), repeat it again, and rotate 90 degrees with your wrist when pressing down. Then, clean the coffee powder around the filter lid.

Step 5 Lock the filter cover, put water in according to the machine instructions, press the switch, steam begins to pass through the coffee powder.

Brilliant secret

Some home espresso machines have a function of wetting the coffee powder, that is, after pressing the switch for 5 seconds 2, a little moisture passes through to wet the coffee tree before starting to extract with a large amount of steam. You can tell what steps the coffee maker is going through by the indicator light on the front panel. If the coffee machine you bought doesn't offer this feature, you can also use your own operating switch. Practice: 10 seconds after pressing the start key (sTART), temporarily shut down. Wait about 3 seconds. And reboot.

This also serves the same purpose:

1. After the coffee powder is loaded into the filter cover, if the coffee powder is relatively fine, the pressure should not be too heavy, otherwise the water will not pass easily, which will cause excessive extraction. On the contrary. If the coffee powder is coarse, press it more tightly. Otherwise, the water flows too fast, and the coffee will have a raw splash.

2. One more step before brewing coffee will make coffee more fragrant and mellow.

3. Coffee placed on the coffee machine insulation time, it is best not to exceed 20 minutes, so as not to lose the original flavor.
