Above all, observe the safety instructions! Please keep these operating instructions for later reference, and pass them on to any subsequent owners of the appliance. The form and function of your AEG coffee machine guarantee you straightforward operation and excellent, individual taste with the easiest of maintenance and care. The excellent, individual taste is achieved by The pre-brewing system: prior to the actual brewing process, the ground coffee is moistened to extract its full aroma, The individually adjustable quantity of water per cup that can be varied between a small espresso and a large "frothy" coffee, The grinding texture that can be adjusted to suit the roasting of the beans, The facility to choose between normal or strong coffee, And last but not least, through the guaranteed crema, that small crown of froth that makes an espresso incomparable for connoisseurs. Incidentally: The time that the water is in contact with the ground coffee is considerably shorter for espressos than for conventional filter coffee. As a result, less bitterness is released from the coffee, it is this that makes espresso coffee so much pleasanter!
