Grinder Setting - Miele CM5500 Operating Instructions Manual

Grinder setting

When the beans are ground correctly,
the coffee or espresso will flow evenly
into the cup with a good crema.
The crema should have an even
nutbrown colour.
The grinder setting you select will be
used for all coffee drinks.
There are various ways to tell whether
the coffee grinder is set correctly.
The coffee has been too coarsely
ground if:
– Espresso or coffee flows into the cup
too quickly.
– The crema is very pale and uneven.
Set a finer grinder setting.
The coffee has been too finely ground
if:
– Espresso or coffee only trickles into
the cup.
– The crema is dark brown.
Set a coarser grinder setting.
To avoid damaging the grinder,
please note the following:
Only adjust the grinder one setting at
a time.
Grind the coffee beans again if you
want to adjust the grinder to the next
setting.
 Open the appliance door.

again.
The altered grinder setting will not be
used until after the second coffee has
been dispensed.
