7. Set the dial (A4) to the quantity of coee corresponding
to the number of cups for which you want to grind the
beans: the relative number appears on the display (g. 4).
Use this ratio as a rough guide only, since the amount will
vary according to the taste, type and roasting of coee
beans as well as the neness of grinding selected;
8. Press the strength selection button (B2) until the desired
aroma appears on the display (g. 5);
Important:
• The quantity of ground coee varies upon the dierent
coee grind.

sonal taste.

kind of coee machine, it is recommended to set max 8
cups.

ished, press the start grinding button again;

container, remove the lid and pour the pre-ground coee
into the lter of the coee machine. If you don’t use all the
ground coee, it can be stored in the container, closing
the cap (A11) to avoid loosing aroma.

selection regulator (A3) to number 1 or 6 of the “ESPRES-
