A LIFETIME OF EXPERIMENTATION
STEP 4 – SETTING THE RIGHT GRIND
When setting the grind it should be fine but not
too fine or powdery. The grind will effect the rate
at which the water flows through the coffee in
the filter and therefore the taste of the coffee. If
the grind is too fine (looks like powder and feels
like flour when rubbed between fingers), the water
will not flow through the coffee even when
under pressure. The resulting coffee will be over
extracted, too dark and bitter, with a mottled
and uneven crema on top.
If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through
the coffee too quickly. This will result in an under-
extracted coffee lacking in flavour and without
the thick crema on the top layer of coffee.
STEP 5 – ADJUSTING THE GRIND AMOUNT
When dosing for single wall filter baskets using
a finer coffee grind, you will need to increase the
Grind Amount to ensure the filter baskets are
correctly filled.
To increase the grind amount, turn the GRIND
AMOUNT dial beyond the DUAL WALL setting to
obtain the correct amount of ground coffee.
NOTE:
You may need to try this a few times slightly
adjusting the GRIND AMOUNT dial each time
until you reach the correct amount.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
Adjusting the grind on your BARISTA PRO Espresso Machine.
Adjust the fineness of the grind only when the grinder is in operation or when there are no beans in
the hopper.
When the coffee grinder is switched off, partially ground coffee beans may remain between the grinding
burrs. The grind adjustment in the fine direction should always be made with the coffee grinder in operation.
