6.2.3 Grinding and dosing coffee
It is important to have a grinder-dispenser next to the machine
so that the coffee can be ground on a daily basis.
To adjust the coarseness of the ground coffee, use the appro-
priate regulator located on the grinder-dispenser hopper.
The coffee must be ground and dispensed according to in-
structions provided by the manufacturer of the grinder-dis-
penser. The following points should also be kept in mind:
• To obtain a good espresso it is not recommended that you
store large amounts of coffee beans. Comply with the ex-
piry date indicated by the producer.
• Never grind large volumes of coffee, it is advisable to pre-
pare the amount that can be held in the dosing device and
if possible, use it by the end of the day.
• Do not buy pre-ground cof-
fee, as it perishes quickly.
If necessary, buy coffee
in small vacuum-sealed
packs.

by means of the pressure gauge (4) located on the front
