I have a AEG Cafamosa full-automatic coffee machine which uses the
Jura type mechanism to produce single cups of coffee by grinding
single portions of coffee from beans. The coffee it makes is pretty
good, with a decent crema. However, I feel it could be better, if the
water temperature were adjusted slightly higher.

Anyone know of maintenance manual availability or "hacks" for these
or related machines?

Hi Otto,
If you have the temp set on maximum with the machines own programing
as you can on Jura
not sure abut AEG. Then you might be able to increase the anmount of
water dispenseed with the coffee
which will also increase temp. you may also have to increase the
strenth of the coffee to your taste. Or is it not possible
to adjust anything on the AEG machine.

As far as I know, Electrolux/AEG has licenced the patents for the
mechanism from Jura. The only user-adjustable bits on my machine are
the grind coarseness and the water amount, but I'd be a bit surprised
if the water temperature wasn't also somehow adjustable, most likely
through a "hidden maintenance mode" -- thus I was asking if anyone has
"hacked" the settings.

I'll try adjusting the water to see if it makes a difference.
