Setting the coffee grinder Adjusting the coffee grinder To adjust the grinder setting To prevent machine damage, the slide control for the coffee grinder setting should be moved carefully and in small adjustments. – If the espresso flows too quickly into the cup, the beans have been ground too coarsely. The grinder should be adjusted to a finer setting. – If the espresso only trickles into the cup, the beans have been ground too fine and the coffee will be bitter.
Setting the coffee grinder Setting the quantity To adjust the quantity setting: Both the flavor and crema of the coffee depend on the quantity of ground coffee used. The greater the quantity, the stronger the flavor will be. The quality of the crema is also affected by the quantity: – If the crema is evenly colored but pale, increase the quantity setting. – If the crema is very dark brown on one side, graduating almost to white on the other, decrease the quantity setting.
