Operating and Safety Information

• The BRITA INTENZA water filter cartridge is designed for use only with municipally treated tap water (note: this water is constantly controlled and according to legal regulations safe to drink) or with water from private supplies which has been approved as safe to drink. If an instruction is received from the authorities that mains water must be boiled, the filtered water must also be boiled. When the instruction to boil water is no longer in force, the entire coffee machine must be cleaned and a new cartridge inserted.
• Filter cold water only.
• Store replacement filter cartridges in a cool and dry place in their original, sealed packaging.
• Clean the water tank regularly.
• For certain groups of people (e.g. people with weakened immune systems, babies) it is generally recommended to boil tap water. This also applies to filtered water.
• Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: during the filter process, the potassium content may be increased slightly. If you suffer from kidney disease and/or follow a potassium restricted diet, we recommend prior agreement with your doctor. The amount of released potassium in 1L of filtered water is lower than potassium contained in either an apple or a banana.
• As water is a foodstuff, the water in the tank must be used up within 1 day.
• Should your machine not be in use for a prolonged period (e.g. holiday) we recommend that you discard any water left inside the tank and leave the cartridge inside. Before using the machine again, take out the cartridge, clean the water tank and reinitiate the cartridge as described in the instructions above.
• Should your machine require descaling, always remove the water filter cartridge from the water tank. After the descaling procedure clean thoroughly the whole water tank and reinitiate the cartridge as described in the instructions above.
• BRITA cannot accept any responsibility or liability if the above recommendations for the use and changing of the BRITA INTENZA water filter cartridge are not respected.

Tips for a Perfect Espresso

The taste of an espresso is influenced by the following factors:

• Coffee type
• Grind size
• Amount of coffee ground
• Tamping pressure
• Brewing time
• Brewing pressure

Consult the table below for how to use different settings for a different taste.

🛈 The manometer must always stay within 6 – 13 bar during the extraction. When the pressure is too low during the process, try making a stronger espresso and vice versa.

🛈 To ensure a good espresso, the appliance, the portafilter, and the used cups must be preheated.

We recommend starting with these settings, and make small changes by taste:
