THE GRIND
When grinding coee beans, the grind size
should be ne, but not too ne. The grind size
will aect the rate at which water ows through
the ground coee 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 coee, 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 coee 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.
