THE GRIND
When grinding coee beans, the grind size
should be ne, but not too ne. The grind size
will aect the rate at which water ows through
the ground coee in the lter basket and the
taste of the espresso.
If the grind is too ne (looks like powder and feels
like our when rubbed between the ngers), the
water will not ow through the coee, even when
under pressure. The resulting espresso will be
OVER EXTRACTED, dark in colour and bitter
in avour.
If the grind is too coarse, the water will ow
through the ground coee in the lter basket too
quickly. The resulting espresso will be UNDER
EXTRACTED and lacking in colour and avour.
SETTING THE GRIND SIZE
This machine has 30 grind settings to select
from, with the size selected displayed on the
LCD screen. The default grind size is 15.
When adjusting the grind size, a bar will display
on the LCD indicating a faster or slower pour.
