Grinding degree adjustment
For the best brewing experience, the grinding degree should be set according to
the type of coffee used and your personal taste.
A super fine grind is best suited for Turkish coffee, while a fine grind is essential for
brewing a good espresso; a medium grind is generally used for moka pots and a
coarser grind is most appropriate for filter coffee machines.
The coffee grinder is factory-set to a grinding degree suitable for espresso,
however, we recommend adapting the grinding to your taste and experimenting
with a few preliminary tests.
To retain the full coffee aroma, grind only the necessary amount and remove the
remaining coffee beans in the container before adding fresh beans
1 Turn the adjustment knob (7) clockwise for more finely ground coffee and
counter-clockwise for a coarser grind.
2 The red indicator (8) will help you determine the position of the selected
grinding degree.
Warning: the adjustment should be made gradually, grinding a little coffee at each
setting. If the knob is turned of a turn or if the particle size is set too fine with the
motor in standstill, the machine could stop.
Tip: in order to help identify the desired grinding degree, it is best to do some test
runs. First, while the motor is running, turn the knob clockwise until the burrs are
at their tightest position, then turn it gradually counter-clockwise - grinding a little
coffee at each setting - until you find the position for the desired grain size.
Operations
Note: When starting it for the first time, the coffee grinder has the factory default
settings. For subsequent start-ups, it maintains the settings prior to the last
shutdown.
The filter-holder should be placed on the fork (13) and secured by inserting it in the
space provided (11). To start dispensing, press the grinding start up button (12)
with the filter-holder.
