4.5. Grind Size Adjustment/Control (14)
The etzMAX coffee grinder has two different setting options (macro/micro, Fig. 8) to determine the grind
size.
MACRO
(28 steps/clicks from 1 ‐ 29)
Zero line corresponds to Click 1
Pointer (13) = reference point
Macro adjustment (15)
(upper ring)
MICRO
(10 stepless settings from 1 ‐ 11)
Zero line corresponds to setting 1
Click 1 on Marco = reference point
Micro adjustment (16)
(lower ring)
Fig. 8
(Setting macro 1/micro 1 = zero line)
Recommended grind size settings
(ultimate setting is dependent on the roast and coffee type):
Preparation type
The higher settings are recommended for lighter roasts
Ristretto
macro 4‐8
micro 1
Espresso
macro 6‐10
micro 1
Longhi
macro 8‐12
micro 1
When using light roasts, the recommended (higher) grind size settings should be adhered to as
too fine a setting (1 ‐ 3, depending on the bean hardness) can lead to blockages and to the motor
overheating.
ATTENTION
!
The use of very dark, oily roasts can cause the grinder to become blocked.
4.5.1. Macro‐adjust (15)
Macro‐adjust
has
28 steps
from coarse (29) to fine (1). The setting is adjusted by turning the macro
adjustment ring (15/upper ring) to the right (finer) or left (coarser); the distance between ring and cone
burr changes by 0.1mm per step. Remember that
fine setting must be carried out when the grinder is
running
.
