The ideal crema has an hazelnut-brown color.

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

The coffee is ground too coarse, if

–espresso or coffee flows into the cup too quickly.

–the crema is very pale and uneven. Set a finer grinder setting.

The coffee is ground too fine, if

–espresso or coffee flows into the cup very slowly.
