The origin, roast, and age of your coffee
will affect the grind size most optimal.
The below chart is a guide, please
adjust two-three clicks at a time when
dialing in for the perfect grind result.
„
Generally, the quicker the water goes
through the ground coffee, the finer the
ground coffee should be.
A "medium" ground is thus suited to
making filter coffee while a "very fine"
ground is needed to make an Espresso.
„
For the first use, we suggest that you
use an intermediate position and then
adjust the setting to your taste. Once
you have used the appliance a few
times, you will find the ideal grind setting to suit your taste and brew method.
„
Do not change the grind setting while the appliance is running.
„
Do not store the coffee bean or powder in the coffee container or dispenser
over 24 hours.
Advice to select the number of cups
„
Use the number of cups selector (8) to program the quantity of ground coffee you want.
