Adjusting the coffee grinder

To prevent machine damage, theslide control for the coffee grindersetting should be moved carefullyand in small adjustments.

– If the espresso flows too quickly intothe cup, the beans have beenground too coarsely. The grindershould be adjusted to a finer setting.

– If the espresso only trickles into thecup, the beans have been groundtoo fine and the coffee will be bitter.The grinder should be adjusted to acoarser setting.

– If the crema is evenly colored butpale, the ground coffee is too coarse.

– If the crema is very dark brown onone side, graduating almost to whiteon the other, the ground coffee is toofine.

To adjust the grinder setting

^ Push the upper slide control to theleft for finer grinding or to the right forcoarser grinding.

You should be able to feel thenotches when moving the slidecontrol.
