Coffee The Way You Like It; Grinder Setting - Miele CVA 6800 Operating And Installation Instructions

To customise the coffee machine to suit
your exact requirements, you can
– adjust the grinder setting,
– change the amount of coffee,
– set the brewing temperature, or
– switch on the "Pre-brewing" option.

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
very 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.

Coffee the way you like it

To avoid damaging the grinder:
Only ever adjust the grinder by one
setting at a time.
Grind the coffee beans again if you
want to adjust the grinder to the next
setting.
^ Open the front of the coffee machine.
^ Push the slide control one setting to
the left (for finer grinding) or one
setting to the right (for coarser
grinding).
^ Close the front.
^ Make a coffee.
Then move the slide control again.
The altered grinder setting will not be
used until after the second coffee has
been dispensed.
