To customize the coffee system to suit
your requirements, you can
–
change the grinder setting,
–
change the amount of ground coffee,
–
change the brewing temperature, or
–
turn on the "Pre-brewing" option.
Grinder setting
You can change 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 and have a good crema.
The ideal crema has a hazel color.
There are various ways to tell whether
the coffee grinder is set correctly.
The grind is too coarse if
– espresso or coffee flows into the cup
too quickly;
– the crema is very pale and uneven.
Use a finer grinder setting so the coffee
beans will be ground more finely.
The grind is too fine if
–
espresso or coffee just drips into the
cup;
–
the crema is dark brown.
Use a coarser grinder setting so the
coffee beans will be ground more
coarsely.
To prevent damage to the grinder:
Adjust the coffee grinder one level
at a time.
Grind the beans again before
adjusting another notch.
^
Open the front of the coffee system.
^ Push the grind control slide to the left
by no more than one increment (for a
finer grind) or to the right (for a
coarser grind).
^
Close the front.
^
Prepare a coffee beverage.
Then you can adjust the grinder by
another increment.
The adjusted grinder setting will only
take effect after the second coffee
portion.
