3. GRINDING COFFEE INTO THE FILTER INSERT
AND TAMPING IT
NOTE:
The heating function of the appliance is stopped and the extraction functions
for espresso, hot water and steam are unavailable while the grinding function is in
operation.
1. Check if the grind size rotary wheel is set to the desired number. Generally, a
higher number represents a coarser grind. For more information, refer to page
142. We recommend starting with the setting “8” and gradually experimenting
with different grind sizes until the extracted espresso perfectly suits your taste.
CAUTION:
The grind size must only be adjusted while the grinder is running.
2. Fill the bean container with fresh whole coffee beans. Close the container with
the lid. Do not overfill the container with beans to make sure that the lid can be
completely closed.
Tip:
If you fill the container with a little less coffee beans, the coffee beans re-
maining in the original packaging stay fresh for longer.
3. Place a filter insert of your choice in the portafilter (do not use the filter insert
for pods).
4. Push the portafilter with the filter insert into the bracket underneath the grinder.
5. Press the grinding button . Press the grinding button once to grind the amount
of coffee required for one cup. Press the grinding button twice to grind the
amount of coffee required for two cups.
ATTENTION:
For two cups, the grinding
button has to be pressed twice within a timeframe of 1,5 seconds! During the
grinding process, the function light of the grinding button flashes rapidly.
NOTE:
If you want to stop the grinding before the pre-set time has elapsed,
press the grinding button again.

PROGRAMMING THE AMOUNT OF GROUND COFFEE
Just like the grind size, the amount of ground coffee is crucial to the coffee
taste and the crema. Here, too, you can change and individually adjust the
factory settings.
For 1 cup:
Press and hold the grinding button until the amount of ground
coffee in the filter insert suits you perfectly. This new time setting is then saved
and the next time you briefly press the button, the new amount of ground
coffee is ejected.
For 2 cups:
Press the grinding button twice and on the second press of the
button, hold it until the amount of ground coffee in the filter insert suits you
perfectly. This new time setting is then saved and the next time you briefly press
the button twice, the new amount of ground coffee is ejected.
NOTE:
Depending on the grind size, a different amount of ground coffee is ejected.
Therefore, every time you adjust the grind size, the amount of ground coffee has to
be reprogrammed manually as well if you want to deviate from the standard setting.
6. Pull the portafilter out of the bracket and gently knock the portafilter against
the worktop to evenly spread the ground coffee around the filter insert. Use
the tamper to tamp the ground coffee into the filter insert. Make sure that the
ground coffee does not exceed the edge of the portafilter, otherwise the porta-
filter cannot be screwed into the brewing group.
7. Remove any excess coffee powder on the edge of the portafilter to make sure it
can be properly inserted into the brewing head.
