2.4.2 Coffee Waste (puck)

• It is very important how the compressed puck looks
like when it is thrown out of the brewer.
A too wet puck falling apart is a sign too little coffee
is being dispensed and / or the coffee grind is too
coarse tuned!
• Catch the puck while adjusting the compressed
puck. Tip; use the stainless steel brewer cover.
• A good puck is whole, dry and at least 15-17mm
thick.
• It is normal that a small amount of water leaves the
brewer when it opens.

2.4.3 Coffee grinder

There are two factors that affect the output of the
coffee grinder. The grinder rotation time (2.1 Quick
recipe pro / Coffee) and the grinding fineness of the
coffee grinder. Try to find a balance between:
• Cup volume
• Amount ground coffee
• Ground coffee coarse or fine (grinder adjustment)
• When the coffee grinder is set coarser, the volume of
the grind increases.
• When the coffee grinder is set finer, the volume of
the grind decreases.
• Only adjust the grinder finer when the grinder is
running! Adjustment from fine to coarse can be done
when the grinder is stationary.
• Only adjust the grind setting in steps of 1/4 turn.
Note: only the 3rd cup of coffee is 100% made
with the changed grind fineness! (do not measure
the first 2 cups).
Run in period grinding discs
Tests have shown that new ceramic grinding discs have
a run in period of 10 kg of coffee beans (about 1350
cups at 7.5 g / XL=1000 cup at 9.5 g.).
We recommend to re-adjust (finer) the grinder
after this period.
