GENERAL OPERATION

Setting the Grind Size
The grind size will affect the rate of water flow
through the coffee in the filter basket and
the flavor of the espresso. When setting the
grind size, it should be fine but not too fine
and powdery.
There are numbered settings on the
GRIND SIZE selector. The smaller the number,
the finer the grind size. The larger the number,
the coarser the grind size. We recommend you
start at setting 5 and adjust as required.
Setting the Grind Amount
Set the GRIND AMOUNT dial to the
3 o'clock position as a starting point. Adjust
towards LESS or MORE as required to adjust
the dose amount so the metal cap on the
supplied tamper is level with the top edge of
the filter basket rim, AFTER tamping.
TIPS
It is normal that the GRIND SIZE selector
and GRIND AMOUNT dial will need to be
adjusted a few times to achieve the correct
extraction rate. Start with the suggested
settings, extract an espresso, then refer to the
Extraction Guide, page 21, to determine what
adjustments need to be made.

• Ensure the hopper is locked into position and
is filled with fresh coffee beans.
• Ensure the filter basket is completely dry
before placing the portafilter into the

ground coffee to fill the portafilter.

you wish to stop grinding before the cycle has
finished, push and release the portafilter.

is three times the volume of tamped coffee.
