The finer the coffee beans are ground
determines the strength of the coffee
and the quality of the crema.
To prevent machine damage adjust
the coffee grinder one notch at a
time and let the beans grind before
adjusting another notch. Otherwise
the machine will be damaged.
The grinder should be adjusted:
–
If the espresso flows too quickly into
the cup, the pressure cannot be built
up because 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.
To adjust the grinder setting
^
Push the slide control to the left for a
finer grind or to the right for a coarser
grind.
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.
