THE GRIND
When grinding coffee beans, the grind size
should be fine, but not too fine. The grind size
will affect the rate at which water flows through
the ground coffee in the filter basket and the
taste of the espresso.
If the grind is too fine (looks like powder
and feels like flour when rubbed between
the fingers), the water will not flow through
the coffee, even when under pressure. The
resulting espresso will be OVER EXTRACTED,
dark in color and bitter in flavor.
If the grind is too coarse, the water will flow
through the ground coffee in the filter basket
too quickly. The resulting espresso will
be UNDER EXTRACTED and lacking in
color and flavor.
SETTING THE GRIND SIZE
This machine has 30 grind settings to select
from, with the size selected displayed on the
LCD screen. The default grind size is 15.
When adjusting the grind size, a bar will
display on the LCD indicating a faster or
slower pour.
