Grinder” chapter).
The machine is adjusting the coff ee
grinder for a new kind of coff ee
beans or pre-ground coff ee.
The machine automatically adjusts itself
after brewing several cups of coff ee in
order to optimise extraction in relation to
the compactness of ground coff ee.
It may be necessary to brew 2 or 3 prod-
ucts to fully adjust the coff ee grinder.
This is not a machine malfunction.
The coff ee grounds pro-
duced by the machine are
too humid or too dry.
Adjust the coff ee grinder.
Adjusting the ceramic coff ee grinder af-
fects the quality of residues.
If the residues are too humid, set a coarser
grind.
If the residues are too dry, set a fi ner
grind.
Refer to the “Adjusting the Ceramic Coff ee
Grinder” chapter.
