Customizing your coffee

To ensure that your coffee system is ideally adjusted to the type of coffee you use, you can use the "Parameters"

￿menu to change the ground amount, adjust the brewing temperature or select the "Pre-brewing" option.

You can customize these settings for each beverage.

You can also adjust 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.

Let the beans grind before adjusting another notch.

^Open the appliance door.

Grinder setting

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 coloring.

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 flows into the cup very slowly;

the crema is dark brown.

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

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

^Close the appliance door.

^Prepare a coffee beverage.

Then you can adjust the grinder by another level.

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