Electronic Grinds System (Egs) - Laspaziale S1 Dream Owner's Manual

7.19 Electronic Grinds System (EGS)

This function might be better named as "Espresso Grounds Spritzer". When enabled, every 20
minutes water flows into the group for 1-2 seconds. It is common in some countries for Baristas to
leave the grinds in the portafilter between shots. This function prevents the puck from drying out and
sticking to the shower screen in that situation. If you have this bad habit and desire to perpetuate it,
enable this function, but it's recommended NOT to leave the grinds in the PF after a shot.

Use the Up or Down arrows to scroll to the desired value.
As you can see from this and the next two screens the
options are 5, 10, or 15 seconds. The value initially
displayed is this last value that was set for this feature.
This feature works with the Set Coffee Doses feature set on Menu
screen #1. On that screen when you set the volumetric dosing for
the One-Cup and Two-Cup buttons, two values are shown. One is
the number of impeller turns and the other is the time that the shot
actually took when the coffee dose was programmed. The shot will
automatically turn off when the programmed impeller turns value is
reached. However, if the actual shot time differs from the
programmed time by more than the value programmed in this
function, a warning will be displayed on the Home Screen.
Assume that the programmed dose time is 25 seconds and that the
GRINDING value is set to 5 seconds.
Example #1: A shot is pulled and the shot time is 40sec. You will get
a Home Screen warning that your coffee is ground too fine since 40-
25 > 5.
Example #2: A shot is pulled and the shot time is 14 seconds, You
will get a Home Screen warning that your grind is too coarse since
25-14 > 5
The numbers at the bottom of the screen next to the One-Cup and
Two-Cup icons are the currently programmed run-time values that
were set for volumetric dosing; i.e. this machine needs
reprogramming!
With the large EGS icon displayed and the word EGS
showing at the top of the screen, press the Menu button.
