STEP 4 – SETTING THE RIGHT GRIND

STEP 5 – ADJUSTING THE DOSE

When setting the grind it should be fine but not too fine or powdery. The grind will effect the rate at which the water flows through the coffee in the filter and therefore the taste of the coffee.

If the grind is too fine (looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers), the water will not flow through the coffee even when under pressure. The resulting coffee will be over extracted, too dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on top.

If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the coffee too quickly. This will result in an under-extracted coffee lacking in flavour and without the thick crema on the top layer of coffee.

When dosing for single wall filter baskets using a finer coffee grind, you will need to increase the dose to ensure the filter baskets are correctly filled.

To increase the dose amount, turn the DOSE ADJUST dial beyond the DUAL WALL setting to obtain the correct amount of ground coffee.

NOTE: You may need to try this a few times slightly adjusting the DOSE ADJUST dial each time until you reach the correct amount.
