Filter baskets

EN

This unit is supplied with 4 filter inserts: 2 standard filter baskets (1 and 2 cups) and 2 double-walled filter baskets.

The standard filter baskets have the same prerequisites as the filter baskets used in the commercial espresso machines. They have a single base: you can see many small holes when held against the light. The standard filter baskets are designed for fresh, self-ground coffee. To grind the coffee yourself, we recommend using the GRAEF CM 80 coffee grinder. The grind setting is perfectly matched to the espresso machines. If you do not have a coffee grinder, when purchasing the ground coffee please make sure the coffee grind is very fine, just like that used in the commercial machines.

The double-walled filter baskets are designed for use with typical, pre-ground coffee from the supermarket.

NOTE

Pre-Infusion

Pre-infusion is programmed into the "MANUAL", single espresse and double espresso operations. It is a gradual increase of water pressure pre-soaking the coffee cake before full water pressure is applied. This is in turn delivers greater body and sweetness to the espresso

GRAEFF recommends using water filtered with the BRITA filter

EN

Even though we have high quality drinking water, filtration can still be optimised because, depending on the origin of the water, it contains individual components such as lime, chlorine or metals such as lead and copper which could come from the building plumbing. A BRITA water filter reduces these substances. That in turn helps develop the natural aromas and full taste of your hot beverage. On top of that, it protects your unit from calcification. That extends the service life and keeps the brewing performance constant, plus the energy consumption remains at the same, low level.

BRITA – For complete enjoyment of your hot drinks and longer lifetime of your machine!

Frothing milk.

CaUTION

Never point the milk froth jet at yourself or at any other person. DANGER OF BURNS!

Always use the handle to move the milk froth jet; never touch the milk froth jet on the pipe after use. It becomes very hot!

Milk frothing with Pan- narello

◆ Fill the enclosed container to 1/3 with cold milk.

NOTE

▶ To achieve optimal results, use only max. 4°C cold milk.

Before using the milk frother nozzle, the condensate that has collected there should be drained off. To do that, aim it at the drain grate and briefly turn on the steam.

◆ Wait until only steam and no water escapes and close the control again.

CaUTION

Never aim the milk frother nozzle towards yourself or any other person. DANGER OF BURNS!

Always use the handle to move the milk frother nozzle. Never touch the milk frother nozzle on the pipe after using. It becomes very hot!

Now immerse the milk frother nozzle with the Pannarello into the milk to approx. 1 cm under the surface.

◆ Open the steam cock to the limit.

◆ Hold the milk container at a slight angle while doing so.

◆ Lower the milk can as soon as the milk level rises.

PLEASE MAKE SURE that the milk should not be heated to more than 70°C during this process; otherwise, the froth will collapse and the beverage will taste too sweet or possibly even like burned milk!

◆ A good tip for the correct temperature is when the you cannot hold the container for more than 3 seconds.

NOTE

We recommend limiting the serving time to ca. 60 seconds.

◆ Turn open the control knob again.

By closing the valve and due to the steam cooling off a vacuum arises in the milk frother nozzle which then draws some more milk.

For that reason, please wait a moment before you pull the milk frother nozzle out of the milk.

◆ After frothing, briefly knock the milk can on the table top to remove the last of the large air bubbles.

◆ Swirling also helps uniformly distribute the froth.

- Clean the milk frother nozzle immediately after finishing the process using a moist cloth. However, let the pipe cool down for a few moments as it becomes very hot.

Also clean the milk frother nozzle with a short blast of steam so that the milk remnants are blown out of the milk frother nozzle.

Milk frothing with the extra nozzle

◆ Remove the Pannarello and unscrew the nozzle.
◆ Screw on the extra nozzle.
◆ Fill the enclosed container to 1/3 with cold milk.

NOTE

▶ To achieve optimal results, use only max. 4°C cold milk.

Before using the milk frother nozzle, the condensate that has collected there should be drained off. To do that, aim it at the drain grate and briefly turn on the steam.

CaUTION

Never aim the milk frother nozzle towards yourself or any other person. DANGER OF BURNS!

To move the milk frother nozzle, always use the handle; never touch the milk frother nozzle on the pipe after using. It becomes very hot!

◆ Wait until only steam and no water escapes and close the control again.
◆ Put the milk frother nozzle into

the milk container slightly offset.

◆ That is important so that the milk is put into a whirling motion.
◆ Use the outlet sleeve as a guide for the milk frother nozzle.
◆ Open the control knob for the milk frother nozzle.

Now start the "pulling" and "rolling" phases

• First the "pull phase": to slightly stir the air, place the milk frother nozzle just under the milk surface.
  You have reached the correct position when you hear a "slurping" sound.

◆ That might stop for a moment as the surface of the milk is moving.

Now the "roll phase".

As soon as the volume of the milk increases, push the milk frother nozzle back into the milk.

◆ As soon as the can becomes hot, close the control knob.

- After frothing, briefly knock the milk can on the table top to remove the last of the large air bubbles.

◆ Swirling also helps uniformly distribute the froth.
- Clean the milk frother nozzle immediately after finishing the

process using a moist cloth. However, let the pipe cool down for a few moments as it becomes very hot.

Also clean the milk frother nozzle with a short blast of steam so that the milk remnants are blown out of the milk frother nozzle.

NOTE

You can use the method below to practice frothing milk:

▶ Put cold water into the milk can.
▶ Add a drop of detergent.
▶ Froth it as described above.
▶ If you froth correctly, the mixture looks like real milk froth.
▶ Please do not drink this mixture!!

Making hot water

- Set a container under the hot water nozzle.

CaUTION

Never aim the hot water nozzle towards yourself or any other person. DANGER OF BURNS!

To move the hot water nozzle, always use the handle; never touch the hot water nozzle on the pipe after using. It becomes very hot!

◆ Turn the control knob open.
◆ Hot water now flows from the

nozzle into the container.

◆ After completing the process, close the rotary control again.
