Setting the quantity

Both the flavor and crema of the coffee
depend on the quantity of ground
coffee used. The greater the quantity,
the stronger the flavor will be.

The quality of the crema is also affected
by the quantity:

– If the crema is evenly colored but

pale, increase the quantity setting.

– If the crema is very dark brown on

one side, graduating almost to white
on the other, decrease the quantity
setting.

To adjust the quantity setting:

^

Push the lower slide control to the left
to grind less coffee or to the right to
grind more coffee.
