PERFECT ESPRESSO
BREWING
The D90 Alti takes between 25 and 30 seconds to brew an espresso. This flow mainly depends on the kind of grinding. If it is too fast, it means that the grinding is too coarse and water flows too rapidly through the filter-holder. On the contrary, with a too fine grinding, the space among coffee particles shrinks and water flows slowly: there could be an over-extraction or difficulties in extraction. To find the perfect combination, we suggest to experiment different blends and grinding.
EXTRACTION
Once the water starts flowing, two fundamental things will happen. First, the espresso will flow from the machine in a slow but steady stream, resembling a little “mouse tail”. Secondly, the colour of the stream should change from dark to light, as the “crema naturale” begins taking form. The sour notes are exalted within the first few seconds of the extraction process, while the bitter elements complete the body of the drink.
CLEANING
After every use, rinse and dry the filter-holder with a clean cloth to ensure a fresh coffee aroma at every use. After cleaning, leave the filter-holder in the machine, so it maintains the right temperature.
