Adjusting the dose  

Before changing the dose, make sure all chambers in the dosing 
wheel are full and that the coffee has been rolled as described on the 
previous page. See page 8 for details of the dispensing unit. 

1.  Turn the dose adjustment knob 

one click to change the dose: 

ƒ

 To 

reduce

 the dose, turn the 

knob 

clockwise

ƒ

 To 

increase

 the dose, turn the 

knob 

anti-clockwise

While making this adjustment, place a 
finger or thumb into the dispensing 
unit outlet so the wheel is prevented 
from turning. 

2.  After making an adjustment, test 

the dose by grinding more coffee 
and rolling it to ensure all dosing 
chambers are full. Fill a single cup 
basket and tamp the grounds, then check if the right quantity of 
coffee has been dispensed. Make further adjustments as 
required.

The above machines need two pulls of the dosing lever to fill a single 
basket and three pulls of the dosing lever for a double basket. The 
coffee level should be 4–5mm from the rim of the coffee basket after 
the grounds have been tamped.
