2.2.1. Specification for the measurement of the coffee products temperature.
The temperature is influenced by the flow from the dispenser and stratification of temperatures in
the glass. In order to consider these phenomena and to introduce measures that allow compari-
sons in controlled conditions, below guidelines must be followed:
Conditions:
a) Water temperature in tank: 23°C (+/-2°C).
b) It must be used a plastic cup (see picture N°1).
c) It must be used a thermocouple thermometer (e.g. type K - see picture N°2).
d) The coffee machine is tested without any change of parameters or calibrations, which may
affect the temperature of products, so the measurement of temperature must be done with
machine in default factory setting.
Procedure:
1. The temperature must be measured in the cup, immediately after dispensing. Cup has to be
placed on a non-metal surface using a thermocouple thermometer.
2. The temperature in the cup is measured by immersing the probe of the thermometer up to
touch the bottom.The probe then must be moved in a circular motion for 5/6 rotations. At the
of the rotations, stop in the center of the cup.
3. The highest temperature measured during the rotations is the value we are searching for, and
that must be reported;
4. Test measurement: from end of dispensing to the end of rotations must be completed within 12
seconds.
Limits of acceptability
The acceptance limits are divided by features and products and are the following:
Espresso Coffee Italy Q.ty 25/40 gr.
Temperature of 1st product 69°C ≤85°C
Temperature of 2nd product 72°C ≤85°C
Coffee Q.ty 70/120 gr.
Temperature of 1st product 69°C ≤85°C
Temperature of 2nd product 72°C ≤85°C

2.2.2. Specification for the measurement of the Milk products temperature.
Milk evaluation
To carry out the test, a partially skimmed UHT milk with a percentage of grease between 1.5-
1.8% at a refrigerator temperature Trefr. (between 4 to 10°C) must be used.
The milk product must be checked on a beaker of 250 ml of capability and with an inner diameter
of 70mm, brewing 100gr of product.
Parameters to be respected:
The parameters to be respected are: milk temperature and height of the cream. Each of these
parameters, however, must be evaluated depending on the type of system used for the production
of hot milk.
Actually three types of devices are present on the appliances:
- Manual system (pannarello)
- Semi-Automatic system (cappuccinatore)
- Automatic system (carafe, Pinless wonder system, etc.)
Milk temperature in the beaker:
System without Pinless Wonder: e.g. Xelsis, Exprelia, Syntia, Intelia.
With milk at Trefr. (about 4-10 °C): ≥36
System with Pinless Wonder: New royal, Energica Pure, Intelia EVO Latte.
With milk at Trefr. (about 4-10 °C): ≥45
Height of the milk cream in the beaker:
Manual system (pannarello)
≥15mm on 100gr. of brewed product
Semi-automatic system (cappuccinatore)
≥20mm on 100gr. of brewed product
Automatic system: carafe, cappuccinatore, Pinless wonder (New Royal, Energica Pure, Intelia EVO
latte)
≥20mm on 100gr. of brewed product
How to measure the temperature of the milk.
1) The measurement is carried out in the beaker, immediately after the end of milk brew,
positioned on a non-metallic surface, using a thermocouple thermometer (eg. Type K).
Stop the preparation of mixed product: at the end of milk brewing, where
“One Touch product” function is present.
2) The temperature is measured by immersing the probe of the thermometer, positioning the
probe inside the beaker at about 10mm from the bottom of the container, then the probe
moves in a circular motion for 3-5 turns, stopping at the end, at the center of the beaker.
It detects the maximum temperature reached in a time of relief between 3 to 5 seconds. It
is important the mixing of milk before the measurement at 10mm from the bottom of the
beaker. If the mixing is correct, temperature, for a few fractions of a second, during the
measurement should not oscillate.

GRAN BARISTO 02 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Page / 06
How to measure the milk cream.
The temperature (Trefr or Tamb) of the milk doesn’t affect as much the test result on measuring
the milk cream; by convection is assumed to always use milk at refrigerator temperature Trefr.
Manual systems (Pannarello)
Pour 100cc. of milk at Trefr. in a beaker of 250 ml of capacity and with a inner diameter of 70 mm;
with machine in steam mode:
1. Open the steam knob to discharger water circuit for 4 sec, then close the knob.
2. Place the beaker with the frother dipped in milk, open the steam knob to maximum and
start the chronometer.
3. After about 30 to 60 seconds, close the knob and check the result on milk.
Semi-automatic systems (cappuccino)
Pours milk at Trefr. in a container ; with the machine in steam mode:
1. Open the steam knob to discharge water circuit for 4 sec. then close the knob.
2. Insert the silicone tube in the milk container, placing a beaker of 250 ml capacity and with
an inner diameter of 70 mm under the cappuccino maker and open the steam knob.
3. After having provided 100gr. of product, close the knob and check the result obtained on
milk. Note: The same applies to machines which have a steam key on the user interface
and a solenoid valve in place of the steam tap.
Automatic: Carafe, Cappuccino Pinless wonder (New Royal, Energica Pure, Intelia EVO
Latte), etc..
After setting the machine to delivery of 100gr. of product:
1. Launch the “hot milk” function.
2. Collect the product in a beaker with a 250ml of capacity and with an inner diameter of
70 mm, and verify the result obtained on milk. Carry out the test using milk at a Trefr..
In case the machine allows modify of the emulsion through the menu, use the machine with the
emulsion set to the default value.
Related to the above testing procedure derives the following table of acceptability:
Manual, Semi-Automatic and Automatic’s Milk System
Grams of Product Minimun Height of the milk cream
≥130 ≥30mm
120 ≥25mm
110 ≥22mm
100 ≥20mm
90 ≥16mm
80 ≥13mm
70 ≥11mm
NB: To verify more accurately the height of the cream, a practical expedient dictated by expe-
rience is to add to the product just delivered a small amount of coffee. The addition of coffee
immediately put in evidence the surface of separation between liquid and cream.
