Nivona CAFEGRANO 130, Operating Instructions Manual, Page: 7 / 8

Here are some basic hints to help you fi nd your ideal setting:
• Coarse is particularly suitable if you wish to make fi lter coffee by hand.
• Medium is recommended for use in traditional boiler-style espresso machines.
• Fine should be selected for use in fi lter coffee machines or automatic pump-pressure espresso
machines.
• Extra- fi ne is recommended for making mocha or coffee by hand.
4.2 Grinding coffee
Grinding coffee is only possible with the bean container on and if any grinder setting has been se-
lected. If the grinder setting indicator (
fi g. 2) is far right, the grinder will not operate.
The machine allows you to select the desired quantity of ground coffee by setting a grinding time.
You can set the desired length of time and therefore the quantity of coffee by turning the control
knob on the front of the machine (
fi g. 3).
£
Add the desired bean variety to the bean container.
£
Make sure that the ground coffee container ( fi g. 4) is in position and empty.
£
Turn the bean container to the desired grinder setting between extra- fi ne and coarse.
£
Then set the desired grinding time / coffee quantity by turning the control knob ( fi g. 3).
The grinding process then starts automatically and immediately. It is complete when the timer control
knob reaches the ‘0’ position.
Tip: If you would like to stop the grinding process before the time is up, simply turn the bean container
(
fi g. 1/B) to the right through the ‘coarse’ setting until it blocks. The grinding operation then stops im-
mediately, while the timer runs on until it reaches the ‘0’ position. It can be useful to stop the grinding
operation if you have set too great a quantity of coffee or if substances other than coffee have got into
the container and blocked the grinding mechanism.
5. Helpful tips and notes
£
Make sure you never grind coffee without the ground coffee container.
£
Do not remove the bean container if it still contains beans.
£
The fi ner the grinder setting, the longer is needed to grind a given quantity. For example, the
machine grinds more coffee in 20 seconds when set to coarse than when set to fi ne.
£
We recommend that you do not grind coffee for storage. Always grind your coffee immediately
before brewing to retain the full aroma.
£
Tap the machine gently a couple of times before removing the full ground coffee container – this
ensures that any ground coffee left in the grinding mechanism falls down into the container
before it is removed.
£
Never fi ll the ground coffee container over the “max.” mark. Excess ground coffee can be sucked
back up into the grinding mechanism, cause overheating and damage the machine!
£
Do not grind for longer than 3 minutes without a break, as this causes the machine parts to heat
up and some of the coffee aroma will be lost.
£
If you fi nd the coffee produced by your coffee machine too thin, or that it runs through too
quickly, select a fi ner grinder setting. If the brewing process is too slow, select a coarser setting.
£
Dark, oily beans require a grinder setting 1 or 2 levels coarser.
6. Cleaning
If you clean your machine regularly, it will last a long time. Please note that you should clean your
machine more regularly if you use dark, oily coffee beans than if you use light, drier coffee beans.
£
Always unplug the machine before cleaning.
