  • Fresh brew coffee

    Did you know that every OptiBean X and OptiMe X machine has an optional Fresh Brew recipe that you can program directly on the screen?

    This recipe uses a low-pressure brewing process. For the best results, we recommend using machines with a double grinder.

    The Fresh Brew recipe always uses coffee beans from the second grinder, so the settings of that second grinder apply only to Fresh Brew.

    We advise you to choose which bean blend in your setup is most suitable to achieve the best Fresh Brew quality.
