Grind adjustment
If the coffee flows too quickly (coarse grind) or too
slowly (fine grind) into the cup, adjust coffee grinder.
The recommended grind level is position 5.
Should grinding be too coarse, adjust it on a
lower value (e.g. from 5 to 3). On the contrary,
should grinding be too fine, adjust it on a higher
value (e.g. from 5 to 7).
Adjust the grind level only when the coffee
grinder is running. Avoid any extreme adjustment
(for instance on position 1) whenever possible.
It is preferable to try another coffee blend, since
not all coffee blends are suitable.
Coffee blends
