• As a reference, the cake thickness of 20 mm corresponds to a
powder quantity of 15 to17 grams.
• Settings to be done for product “double espresso”:
1 Adjust the espresso grinder according to this manual.
2 Enter the menu “Products & Keys”.
3 Select the product selection button “double espresso” to be set.
4 Adjust the product as follows:
• Define the bean hopper (front/rear)
• Define the water quantity (70 to 100 ticks)
• Define the cake thickness (up to 20 mm)
• Set the tamping (64)
• Set the pre brew time (0)

• Set the by-pass (0)
5 Exit the menu with the back arrows.
6 Dispense a double espresso (don’t stop).
7 Dispense a next double espresso and check the extraction time:
• If the extraction time is out of range (18 to 25 s), set the grinder
