Grinder setting

You can change the grinder setting to suit the type of coffee you are using.

To prevent damage to the grinder:

Adjust the coffee grinder one level at a time.

Grind the beans again before adjusting another notch.

￿Open the front of the coffee system.

When the beans are ground correctly the coffee or espresso will flow evenly into the cup and have a good crema.

The ideal crema has a hazel color.

There are various ways to tell whether the coffee grinder is set correctly.

The grind is too coarse if

–espresso or coffee flows into the cup too quickly;

–the crema is very pale and uneven.

Use a finer grinder setting so the coffee beans will be ground more finely.

The grind is too fine if

–espresso or coffee just drips into the cup;

–the crema is dark brown.

Use a coarser grinder setting so the coffee beans will be ground more coarsely.

￿Push the grind control slide to the left by no more than one increment (for a finer grind) or to the right (for a coarser grind).

￿Close the front.

￿Prepare a coffee beverage.

Then you can adjust the grinder by another increment.

The adjusted grinder setting will only take effect after the second coffee portion.
