The grind size will affect the rate of water flow
through the coffee in the filter basket and the
flavour of the espresso. When setting the
grind size, it should be fine but not too fine
and powdery.
There are 25 settings on the GRIND SIZE dial.
To adjust the grind, rotate the dial to the back
of the machine to go finer, or rotate the dial
towards the front of the machine to go coarser.
The smaller the number, the finer the grind
size. The larger the number, the coarser the
grind size. We recommend you start at the
No. 16 setting and adjust as required.
NOTE
•
When making changes to the grind size, the
new auto dosing time will be calculated after
your next tamp, and updated for the dose
cycle following that.
•
For most bean varieties, the grinder will
automatically switch off when the beans get
too low to complete a dose.
TIP
Changing the grind size affects the dose in
the portafilter. A finer grind size may cause an
under dose requiring “A Bit More”. A coarser
grind size may cause an over dose. To avoid an
over dose, press and hold the FILTER button
for 3 seconds, reducing the grind time by
three seconds.

Ensure the bean hopper is locked on the
