GENERAL OPERATION

Setting the Grind Size

The grind size will affect the rate of water flow through the coffee in the filter basket and the flavor of the espresso. When setting the grind size, it should be fine but not too fine and powdery.

There are numbered settings on the GRIND SIZE selector. The smaller the number, the finer the grind size. The larger the number, the coarser the grind size.

We recommend you start at setting 5 and adjust as required.

Selecting the Filter Size

Insert either the 1 CUP or 2 CUP filter basket into the portafilter (see ‘Selecting a Filter Basket’, page 22). Press the FILTER SIZE button to select SINGLE if using the

1 CUP filter basket, or DOUBLE if using the

2 CUP filter basket.

NOTE

If the hopper is not correctly locked into position, the FILTER SIZE LED’s will flash.

4.Repeat steps 1–3 until the water tank is empty.

Setting the Grind Amount

Set the GRIND AMOUNT dial to the

3 o’clock position as a starting point. Adjust towards LESS or MORE as required to adjust the dose amount so the metal cap on the supplied tamper is level with the top edge of the filter basket rim, AFTER tamping.

TIP

It is normal that the GRIND SIZE selector and GRIND AMOUNT dial will need to be adjusted a few times to achieve the correct extraction rate. Start with the suggested settings, extract an espresso, then refer to the Extraction Guide, page 25, to determine what adjustments need to be made.

Automatic Dosing

•Ensure the hopper is locked into position and is filled with fresh coffee beans.

•Ensure the filter basket is completely dry before placing the portafilter into the grinding cradle.

•Push and release the portafilter to engage the grinding activation switch, then allow fresh ground coffee to fill the portafilter.

•Grinding will automatically stop, however if you wish to stop grinding before the cycle has finished, push and release the portafilter.

NOTE

It is normal for the portafilter to appear overfilled with ground coffee. Untamped coffee is three times the volume of tamped coffee.
