Grinder setting

You can adjust the grinder setting to
suit the type of coffee you are using.
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
nut-brown colour.
There are various ways to tell whether
the coffee grinder is set correctly.
The coffee is 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 is too finely ground, if
– espresso or coffee only trickles into
the cup.
– the crema is dark brown.
Set a coarser grinder setting.
