To adjust the grind, rotate the grind dial to the
back of the machine to go coarser, or rotate
the dial towards the front of the machine to go
finer or slide the dot on the screen to the left for
a finer grind or to the right for a coarser grind.
The smaller the value shown on screen, the
finer the grind size. The larger the value shown
on screen, the coarser the grind size.
NOTE
• When making changes to the grind size, the new
auto dosing time will be calculated after your next
tamp and updated for the dose cycle following
that. The dose amount is calculated and stored
automatically. Two to three extractions may be
required to calibrate the extraction.
• For most bean varieties, the grinder will pause
the grind operation when coffee beans ran out.
Extracting Espresso
• As a guide, the espresso will start to flow after
8-12 seconds (infusion time) and should be the
consistency of dripping honey.
• If the espresso starts to flow before 7 seconds
you have either under dosed the filter basket and/
or the grind is too coarse. This is an UNDER-
EXTRACTED shot.
• If the espresso starts to drip but doesn't flow after
12 seconds, then you have either over dose the
filter basket and/or the grind is too fine. This is an
OVER-EXTRACTED shot.
A great espresso is about achieving the perfect
balance between sweetness, acidity, and
bitterness.
The flavour of your coffee will depend on many
factors, such as the type of coffee beans,
degree of roast, freshness, coarseness or
fineness of the grind, and the dose of ground
coffee.
Experiment by adjusting these factors just one
at a time to achieve the taste of your preference.
