Hints for grinding coffee
• Your new espresso machine can be used with pre-ground coffee, but for the
best taste we recommend you buy whole coffee beans and grind them yourself.
Coffee for espresso and other Italian coffee drinks should be dark roasted. You
may want to try a French or Italian roast.
• Only buy as much coffee as you will use within a week after opening. Fresh
coffee tastes best.
• To retain optimum freshness, store the coffee beans in an airtight container in a
cool, dark area. Do not store coffee in a refrigerator or freezer.
• Grind the coffee beans just before brewing, and only grind as much as you will
need.
• Choosing the correct grind is a vital step in the espresso-making process and
takes practice. The coffee should be of a fine grind (it should look like salt). If the
grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee, even under pressure.
Too fine a grind looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between
fingers. If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast,
preventing a full-flavoured extraction. Too coarse a grind feels like sugar.
Getting Started (Cont.)
Grind selection
Your coffee grinder has 15 grind size options. To adjust the grind size, rotate the
bean hopper and adjust from fine to coarse depending on the type of coffee you
are brewing.

NOTE: Avoid adjusting the grind size during operation as it will affect the coffee
ground coarseness. The optimal level of grinding also depends on the type of
coffee beans. You may need to adjust the grinding level to match the type of coffee
beans you are using.
