8.3. SETTING THE GRINDING
FINENESS
Place the portalter in the upper coffee
holder(
) and press the dose ll button
(
) causing ground coffee to come out
through the exit chute (
).
To change the grinding neness, turn
the grinding control knob ( ). Turning it
clockwise will give a ner grind than the
current setting and turned in the other
direction, a coarser grind than the current
setting.
NOTE: If the coffee throughput is very low, this is because the coffee is being ground very
ne. If the throughput is very high, this is because the coffee is being ground very coarse.
A perfect Espresso is produced when the grinding gives an infusion of 25 ml of coffee in
25 seconds using about 7 g of ground coffee.
In the machine’s automatic mode, a numeric graphical scale from 0 to 800 is shown on
the grinder’s display (
) which always shows the current neness setting, an option to
be borne in mind if there is a bad grinding neness setting.
NOTE: It is recommended that
this operation be performed,
when changing to a ner
grinding, with the motor running,
to prevent coffee from building
up between the burrs and
blocking the grinder.
TIP: Our grinders are delivered set to a grinding
neness suitable for Espresso coffee, which can
be changed according to the type of coffee, the
degree of roasting and the weight used.
