Setting the coffee grinder
Adjusting the coffee grinder | To adjust the grinder setting |
To prevent machine damage, the slide control for the coffee grinder setting should be moved carefully and in small adjustments.
–If the espresso flows too quickly into the cup, the beans have been ground too coarsely. The grinder should be adjusted to a finer setting.
–If the espresso only trickles into the cup, the beans have been ground too fine and the coffee will be bitter. The grinder should be adjusted to a coarser setting.
–If the crema is evenly colored but pale, the ground coffee is too coarse.
–If the crema is very dark brown on one side, graduating almost to white on the other, the ground coffee is too fine.
^Push the upper slide control to the left for finer grinding or to the right for coarser grinding.
You should be able to feel the notches when moving the slide control.
If the slide control will not move:
^Close the machine and dispense a cup of coffee. Then try to move the slide control again.
