This guide will give you an overview of how to use the Kafmasino ONE coffee machine application.

If you have any questions that are beyond the scope of this help file, Please feel free to email via Contact Page.

Devices compatibility

The Kafmasino app is compatible with most popular phones and tablets. To set up and use your Kafmasino products and services, you must install the Kafmasino app on a compatible device running one of the following operating systems:

1. Apple iOS 11.0 or higher.
2. Android 8.1 or higher.
3. Bluetooth 4.0+

Installation

Below are the download links for Apple and Android operating systems:

Landscape view

The landscape view of the application is the most comfortable to use on large smartphones and tablets. It allows you to view all the options of the application and to make the most of the graphs and data.

Coffee

From the Coffee section you can control the infusion at all times, and you also have a series of interesting data that allow you to visualise at all times what is happening in the extraction.

Coffee view

1. By clicking on the "Coffee readings" section you can simplify the number of data displayed in real time.
2. Clicking on the current profile will display a quick selector of the stored profiles. This allows you to send directly without having to access the recipe screen.
3. By clicking on the edit icon, the temperature parameters and the cup weight setting can be modified. This option will only apply if the scale is switched on at the time of brewing.
4. The curved arrow icon allows you to advance to the next step of the recipe when making coffee.
5. Press to start infusion.
6. Rinse the grouphead to clean.
7. Scale tare. It is not necessary to run a tare before starting an infusion as it is automatically tared.
8. By clicking on the icon, the operation of the infusion is modified. The manual mode allows the flow and pressure to be changed at any time.
9. By repeatedly clicking on the graph, the size of the graph can be changed.

2. Weight target.
3. Volume target.
4. For the volume, the step at which the volume starts to be counted must be decided. For example, it does not make sense to define pre-infusion as a counting step because you would not reach an adequate weight in the cup, as the coffee puck would absorb the water.

Hot water & steam

From this section you can set up the hot water pouring and adjust the power of the steam wand.

Hot water & steam view

1. Hot water temperature target.
2. Hot water volume target.

2. Clicking on the graph will open it in full screen and you will be able to inspect second by second the values of flow, temperature, extraction, etc. of the extraction.
3. In the information box you can see the input and output values of each step, as well as the configuration of each step of the executed recipe.
4. The edit icon allows you to modify the details of the selected shot.
5. Button to delete the selected shot.
