Programming Dosing
Weights or Time
The Forté

programmable buttons for both
Weight and Time. The buttons are
simply labeled 1, 2, 3. These pro-

button comes from the factory with
a preset:
Weight: 1=15g, 2=30g, 3=60g.
Time: 1=10s, 2=15s, 3=30s.

desired Weight or time setting,
press the corresponding button
(1, 2, or 3) and hold for 3 seconds.
The selected amount of grams or
seconds shown on the top of the
screen will blink to confirm the set-

coarseness of the grind, brewing
