BEAN-TO-CUP / “CREMA COFFEE" / HIGH PRESSURE BREWING
According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding the beans just before brewing, tamping and brewing under high pressure is the ideal extracting process for maximum flavor and strength. The C9 OT automatic coffee center will always produce espresso and coffee with a thick, foamy layer called "crema." The crema traps the fine aromatics and the light gaseous flavors that register on the palate. The high pressure and the short brewing time prevent the extraction of bitter oils and release less caffeine than any other brewing method. You will always make the absolute freshest and most aromatic cup of coffee. This is the reason why many European restaurants and hotels serve only fresh pressure brewed coffee. Experiment with your C9 OT and prepare the best and most enjoyable cup of coffee!
