It s all up to taster s choice.  Special Pre-infusion Brew System Cycle  Pre-infusion allows you to get maximum flavor from the brewing process.  This advanced system takes the newly ground coffee beans from the internal coffee grinder and correctly tamps the coffee. Next comes pre-infusion. To optimize the flavor extraction a special step injects a little hot water into the freshly ground coffee in order to soak it and let it swell up.  This is done just before the actual brew cycle commences.  The grounds are pre-soaked and then brewed before being discarded automatically into the internal dump box.
