What temperature should the liquid be dispensed?Just received my x7.1 machine, ran some initial water only coffee brews, and the water not very hot.

True. Once you make ALL the espressos you need, then you can froth the milk (for a latte/capuccino). I preheat the cup with hot tap water prior to making the espresso. I also microwave the milk (about 2 oz. per drink) for 20 sec prior to using the steamer. I then steam the milk for about 30 sec. All this helps, and the delicious taste of the dark roast ilespresso makes me not care that the drink is NOT piping hot.

you should turn on the steamer first and then make the coffee, it is gonna be perfect for the coffee! enjoy.

How would consumers know the answer unless they got their hands on a press release from Nespresso. Anyone think of asking them? I find if I use a hot cup then I don't have a problem with the temperature of the brew.

Per the manufacturer - While the water brews in the ENA Micro 9, it reaches a temperature of 190-195 degrees, but by the time the coffee hits the cup it decreases to 175-180 degrees. Hope this helps. Thanks

I ran some water through it and it is approx. 200 degrees F. Very hot but that is the best for the coffee!

Thanks JJLet me know how you like the A10.Now the question is, how are you grinding your beans? I have a Baratza Vario and I am also very happy with it. Occasionally grinds will stick in the basket due to static, but overall pretty rock solid. They have the new Vario that doses by weight; wish I had it. When I use my Chemex or Hario pour overs, I weigh out the beans and water. If you haven't tried a pour over, it's an inexpensive investment which brews excellent coffee.Happy brewing my friend...

I only brew at medium. Medium is the temperature I expect it to be. I have not tested the other temperature settings.

Boiling the water works fine. Waiting 30 seconds after taking it off the stove will put the temperature in the 195-205 range, which is ideal for brewing coffee.

I have the same machine and i think you should let it run for 15 minutes to get the whole machine to get hot and then start make you coffee and it will be around 180F..

Wondering... how quickly do you feel the water should come to a boil? Peeked this morning as was a little surprised to see some coffee had already appeared in the top portion eventhough there was not a full rolling boil going on below. Wondered if I had the stove setting a little too low. Thoughts?

No, that is not an option with this machine. I have noticed that if you put hot water in it to begin with the coffee will be even hotter when dispensed.

We use the default option with no complaints. Perhaps it's the coffee you're using? Or try brewing a larger size cup for a more dilute brew.

I found a solution! Take a can of compressed air, the kind you use to clean your keyboard, and shoot a few short bursts into the water drain after removing the water reservoir. Do this when the machine is off and the water has cooler. OR, use a small needle to poke around in the top piercing needle for a few seconds then run a cycle without a k-cup. You should get a full cup of hot water with lots of coffee grounds floating around. It's a quirk but this resolution really works!

Frank, my wife loves coffee and so do I. The temperature after brewing (and even after letting the coffee stand for awhile) is much too low. Hot??? ...not a chance. Like the size of this unit but the performance leave MUCH to be desired. Suggestion....look elsewhere.

I ran a cycle of water through mine before I used it. Just to rinse it out. Coffee tastes great.

Rebecca, Use the scoop to measure your ground coffee and put it in the small basket. Behind the basket is a small open tank and that's where you put your water. I just use my own measuring Tablespoon and follow the amounts given on my coffee can (Folgers regular coffee + 1Tablespoon coffee grounds per 6 oz water. Then flip the red button and it will light up so you know its on. It wont do anything for several seconds but then you'll hear it start to brew. When its done brewing you have to flip the switch back to the off position. It will not turn off by itself. Don't leave it on as it could be a fire hazard if left long enough. After using it for awhile if the brewing gets slow you can brew a cup of half white vinegar and half water (no coffee.) Let half of the vinegar-water brew and shut off the machine. Let it sit a few hours or overnight. Then turn the machine back on and let the other half of the vinegar-water brew all the way. Then shut it off to cool a little. Then run a cup of plain water all the way through. Repeat the plain water brewing until it doesn't smell like vinegar anymore (usually just 2 brewing cycles.) It will run like new again after you do that. Doesn't need it very often. I adore my Caf Uno and hope you enjoy yours.

I make a carafe full of pour over coffee every day in mine. I pour the water over the grounds at 205°F, so it probably hits the carafe at somewhere above 190°F. Works great!

A lot! I've read some on it & one source suggested using 2 quarts of coffee, regular brew that has been cooled to warm. I haven't done much more research but if I were you I'd find some sources. I know there are other things you can put in the water like Epsom salts & other herbs. Just find what works for you.
