9.4 Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill is set by default to prepare coffee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the
d
coffee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is
too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting
the grinding adjustment dial (A2) (fig. 11).
Please note:
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coffee mill is in operation.
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
f
coffee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain
l
the desired result, turn the dial another click.

• warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function
