The invention relates to a method for producing a coffee beverage in a brewing chamber (36) of a coffee machine (10) and to a coffee machine (10) for performing a method for producing a coffee beverage. The aim of the invention is to improve the dispensing of coffee, especially in its first phase, in order to avoid undesired splashing due to increased pressure of the coffee beverage at the coffee beverage outlet (47), According to the method of the invention, the brewing water is supplied to the brewing water inlet (35-1) of the brewing chamber (36) at a first volume flow rate during a first period of time (T1) of a first brewing phase (a), and during a second period of time (T2) of the first brewing phase (a), the brewing water is supplied to the brewing water inlet (35-1) of the brewing chamber (36) at a second volume flow rate, wherein the first volume flow rate and the second volume flow rate are both different from zero and wherein the second volume flow rate is lower than the first volume flow rate.
