• What is pre-brewing? When the pump begins working, there is a short pause. During that pause, the ground coee in the brewing group is moistened with a small amount of water before complete extracon. This process expands the ground coee inside the brewing group, which increases water retenon and pressure to help extract all of the oils and avor from the ground beans.
