Adjusting the coffee grinder
The amount of ground coffee determines the strength of the coffee and the quality of the crema. The amount of ground coffee can be adjusted in the main menu. See "Settings - Grind amount". To adjust the grinder setting
To prevent machine damage adjust the coffee grinder one notch at a time and let the beans grind before adjusting another notch. Otherwise the machine will be damaged. The grinder should be adjusted: � If the espresso flows too quickly into the cup, the pressure cannot be built up because the beans have been ground too coarsely. The grinder should be adjusted to a finer setting. � If the espresso only trickles into the cup, the beans have been ground too fine and the coffee will be bitter. The grinder should be adjusted to a coarser setting. � If the crema is evenly colored but pale, the ground coffee is too coarse. � If the crema is very dark brown on one side, graduating almost to white on the other, the ground coffee is too fine.
^ Push the slide control to the left for a finer grind or to the right for a coarser grind. You should be able to feel the notches when moving the slide control. If the slide control will not move: ^ Close the machine and dispense a cup of coffee. Then try to move the slide control again.
