10.3.7 Pre-infusion

Pre-infusion ensures that the ground coffee in the portafilter is completely moistened once before extraction is carried out at high pressure.

How pre-infusion works

At the start of the espresso brewing process, the pump actively builds the pressure up for a predefined period of time. Before the pump pressure has reached 9 bar, the pump interrupts the activity for another predefined period of time. During this passive phase, the hot water completely soaks the ground coffee. After soaking is complete, the extraction is started at 9 bar.

Example

Active pre-infusion = 4 seconds, passive pre-infusion = 5 seconds:

Pump activity starts for 4 seconds after the start of the espresso brewing process. After these 4 seconds have elapsed, the pump activity is interrupted for 5 seconds in order to moisten the ground coffee. After these 5 seconds have elapsed, the pump starts up again and the espresso extraction is started at 9 bar.

Active versus passive pre-infusion

Active pre-infusion is recommended only when operating the machine in water tank mode, as the pressure from the water tank is not sufficient for completely soaking the ground coffee. Exclusively passive pre-infusion is recommended for operation in mains water mode. The line pressure is sufficient for moistening the ground coffee within a preset time.

17 Recommendations for preparing the perfect espresso

Preparing the perfect espresso is not only influenced by subjective factors, but also by objective factors such as the coffee variety, coarseness, amount of ground coffee, temperature, pre-infusion, flow, extraction duration, etc.

Until the right settings have been found, you may have to adjust and try out different parameters. The following overview outlines common problems, what causes them and how to solve them.

Problem Cause Solution
Espresso is not pouring out, just dripping out of the portafilter.The coarseness of the coffee used is too fine.Use more coarsely ground coffee.
Ground coffee too densely compacted.Do not press the ground coffee down as hard (see Chapter 9.5, “Pouring ground coffee into the portafilter and pressing (tamping)”).
Too much ground coffee. Use less ground coffee. The marking in the filters serves as a guide.
Little to no crema on the espresso.The ground coffee used is too coarse.Use more finely ground coffee.
Ground coffee not com-pacted sufficiently.Press the ground coffee down more firmly (see Chapter 9.5, “Pouring ground coffee into the portafilter and pressing (tamping)”).
Ground coffee too old. Use fresh ground coffee.
Too little ground coffee. Use more ground coffee. The marking in the filters serves as a guide.
Too much chlorine in the water.Use a water filter.
Shower screen is dirty. Clean the brew group (see Chapter 11.7, “Cleaning the brew group”).
Too little body. The groundcoffee used is too coarse.Use more finely ground coffee.
Ground coffee too old. Use fresh ground coffee.
Too little ground coffee. Use more ground coffee.The marking in the filters serves as a guide.
Shower screen is dirty. Clean the brew group (see Chapter 11.7, “Cleaning the brew group”).
