DeLonghi KG 89, KG 79 Tips, Maintenance, Selecting the level of coarseness of your ground coffee

TIPS

-It is best to store coffee beans in a cool, dry place. Beans should be kept in an opaque, airtight container.

-Grind the coffee just prior to preparing it.

Selecting the level of coarseness of your ground coffee.

-Use the coarseness selector dial (Fig. 5) to adjust the grind according to the type of coffee maker.

-Generally, the quicker the water goes through the ground coffee, the finer the ground coffee should be.

A “medium” ground is thus suited to making filter coffee while a “very fine” ground is needed to make an Espresso.

-For the first use, we suggest that you use an intermediate position and then adjust the setting to your taste.

Once you have used the appliance a few times, you will find the ideal grind setting to suit your taste and brewing method.

Important: Do not change the grind setting while the appliance is running.

Suggested Grind Settings: Selecting the number of cups

-Use the cup selector dial (Fig. 4) to program the quantity of ground coffee you want.
