Saeco Adapting System

Coff ee is a natural product and its characteristics may change according to its origin, blend and roast. The machine is equipped with a self-adjusting system that allows the use of all types of coffee beans available on the market (not for caramelized beans).

The machine automatically adjusts itself after brewing several cups of coffee to optimize the extraction of the coffee to the compactness of the ground coff ee.

Adjusting the ceramic coff ee grinder

Ceramic coff ee grinders always guarantee accurate grinding for every coff ee blend and prevent the beans from overheating.

This provides for full aroma preservation, delivering the truly Italian taste in every cup.

Warning:

The ceramic coffee grinder contains moving parts that may be dangerous. Therefore, do not insert fingers and/or other objects. Turn off the machine by pressing the ON/OFF button and remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any type of operation inside the coffee bean hopper.

You can adjust the ceramic grinders to set the coff ee grinding to your personal taste.

Warning:

The grinder adjustment knob, inside the coff ee bean hopper, must be turned only when the ceramic coff ee grinder is working.

This adjustment can be carried out by pressing and turning the grinder adjustment knob inside the coff ee bean hopper.

3 The reference marks on the coff ee bean hopper lid indicate the grind setting. There are 8 different grind settings to choose from:

- Very coarse grind ( ●): lighter taste, for dark roasted coff ee blends To

- Very fine grind: (bolder taste, for light roasted coff ee blends

When you adjust the ceramic coffee grinder to a finer setting, your coffee will taste stronger. For a milder coffee taste, adjust the ceramic coffee grinder to a coarser setting.

Adjusting coffee crema and intensity (Saeco Brewing System)

Line drawing of a device casing with a central circular component and two curved arrows indicating flow or movement (no text or symbols)

The Saeco Brewing System (SBS) allows you to control the coffee crema and taste intensity by adjusting the coffee flow speed during the brewing cycle.

• By turning the dial knob counter clock wise you increase the flow speed resulting in a milder coffee intensity and less crema.
• By turning the dial knob clock wise you reduce the flow speed resulting in a stronger coffee intensity and more crema.

Note:

The coffee flow speed may be adjusted while brewing.

Adjusting the aroma (coff ee strength)

Choose your favorite coffee blend and adjust the amount of coffee to be grounded until they meet your personal taste. You can also select the pre-ground coffee function.
