5 THE COFFEE BURR GRINDER
(FIG. 09)
Caution! Only turn the grind control
knob, found inside the coffee bean
container (Fig. 09), when the coffee grinder
is working. Do not insert ground and/or in-
stant coffee in the coffee bean container.
Do not insert anything other than whole
bean coffee in the container. Do not use
frozen coffee beans.
The coffee burr grinder contains dangerous
moving parts; keep fingers and/or other
objects away. Before carrying out any ope-
rations in the coffee bean container, switch
OFF the machine and remove the plug from
the wall outlet. Do not insert coffee beans
when the coffee burr grinder is in motion.
The quality and the taste of the drinks you can
make on the Starbucks Barista Digital Italia de-
pend on 4 things; the quality of the coffee, the
quality of the water, the grind size and the dose
(amount of beans to be ground per cup).
The Starbucks Barista Digital Italia was designed
to use Starbucks
®
coffee. We recommend using
Starbucks
®
coffee to make the best.
The Starbucks Barista Digital Italia comes with a
grind adjusting knob (Fig. 09). To use this featu-
re, turn the adjustable knob when the coffee burr
grinder is working, and only in increments of 2
numbers at a time; the numbers displayed on the
knob indicate the coarseness of the grind.
The manufacturer has sets the knob to achieve
a single shot based on the standards Starbucks
uses in its stores. If the ground coffee is too
fine, turn the knob toward the higher values; if
the ground coffee is too coarse, turn the knob
toward the lower values.
You will note the change only after pulling three
to four shots.
You should change the grind position if the
espresso shot does not pour optimally:
If your shot pours too fast, then the grind is too
coarse. You should adjust the grind to make
it finer.
If your shot pours too slow, then the grind is too fine.
You should adjust the grind to make it coarser.
6 ADJUSTING THE COFFEE
DOSE (FIG.10)
You may select the quantity of coffee (dose) that
you wish to grind per cup / shot between (6g)
and (9g). The manufacturer has set the dose
system to achieve a single shot of espresso
based on the standards Starbucks uses in their
stores.
To change the dose, simply turn the knob (Fig. 10)
found inside the coffee container. Turn it counter-
clockwise (toward the “+” to increase the dose and
clockwise (toward the “-”) to decrease the dose.
You must adjust the dose before pressing the
coffee dispenser button.
This system allows you to obtain a shot of espres-
so to your personal liking.
7 THE COFFEE DISPENSER
Note: If the appliance does not di-
spense coffee, check the water level
in the tank.
• Before making coffee, make sure that the
display reads SELECT SHOT SIZE/ READY
FOR USE and that the water tank and the
coffee container are full.
• Place the empty coffee cups on the cup-war-
mer plate for pre-heating.
Note: The cups to be pre-heated
must be empty; pre-heating the
coffee cups will allow you to keep your
coffee warmer.
• Place 1 or 2 coffee cups under the coffee
dispenser spouts; you can adjust the height
of the dispenser by moving it up or down
manually (Fig. 11).
• It is possible to use big cups by raising the
dispensing unit nozzles and moving the di-
spensing unit body toward the machine. (Fig.
12 & 13). The coffee dispenser can also be
removed completely.
