Regulate the chute F.1 The grinder is equipped with an innovative adjustable co󰀨ee chute (10) that precisely directs the co󰀨ee into any lterholder. If the ground co󰀨ee is not deliv- ered in the center of your lterholder, move the internal part of the chute back- wards/onwards with your ngers in order to center the fall of the ground co󰀨ee into your lterholder.

Regulate the grinding Note. The factory setting of the grinder is a medium grinding size, ideal for the grinding of most types of coee blends, available in the market. Caution. Regulate the grinding ALWAYS and ONLY while the grinder is grinding. G.1 Rotate the grinding wheel (3) to change the co󰀨ee granulometry. Rotate the wheel clock-wise (towards the small points) to obtain a ner grinding, anti- clock-wise for a coarser grinding. Note. Micrometric regulation does not require any blockage.English

Note. If the coee ow in your espresso machine is very slow, the coee grinding is too ne, if it’s quick, the coee grinding is too coarse. Many factors in- uence the coee ow such as: the amount of coee, its pressing, the espresso machine adjustments, how clean the lters are and also the climatic conditions.

Adjust the doses Note. The grinder is tted with the LCC (LELIT Control Center), which allows to program the grinding time for both doses. Note.

Solving the most common problemsWilliam - PL72

The art of Espresso coffee Contrary to what you might think, making the perfect Espresso is not that easy. It requires experience, ability, passion and a little bit of curiosity. In this paragraph we would like to share with you some of the basic rules for making the perfect cup of Espresso.

If you want to make perfect Espres- sos, you should start by ensuring the ve essential factors which turn a sim- ple cup of co󰀨ee into an Espresso for connaisseurs! These are the “5 M’s”; in Italian: miscela (blend), macinatura (grinding), macchina (machine), man- ualità (skill) and manutenzione (main- tenance).

Good Espressos are always made with a good blend of co󰀨ee. An Espresso with the right taste requires the blend of two types of co󰀨ee, Arabica and Robusta. The rst gives co󰀨ee its delicate aroma and the right amount of acidity, while the second gives it its full taste, body and cream. The quantities depend on your own taste. Try out di󰀨erent combinations until you nd the blend you like best!

2 - Macinatura (Grinding)

The grinder is a must for making good Espresso. Co󰀨ee should always be ground just before it is used so that it preserves its taste and aroma. LELIT grinders let you adjust the grind- ing level to suit the co󰀨ee blend in or- der to establish the correct extraction time and amount of cream.

3 - Macchina (Espresso machine)

Choosing the right espresso machine is equally important. LELIT co󰀨ee machines are designed and built to let you adjust the water pressure and temperature to your requirements. The right balance of these two factors al- lows you to extract from the ground co󰀨ee not only the substances that provide its taste, but also the insolu- ble particles that give your co󰀨ee body and aroma.

4 - Manualità (Skill)

Half of the result depends on how you use the machine. A passionate expert is an essential part of the Espresso production chain and can enhance the result to bring additional value to the - nal product. Passion and practice are, therefore, the secrets to learn how to use the machine. You can experiment with di󰀨erent blends of co󰀨ee, grind- ing, pressing, changing water temper- ature and pressure, not just to make Espresso, but also to make the perfect one for you.

5 - Manutenzione (Maintenance)

Daily maintenance, scheduled mainte- nance as well as care of the machine will The “5 M”English

ensure the quality of the beverage and the durability of the product you have purchased. A clean machine says a lot about your passion for co󰀨ee making. Coffee varieties The choice of the blend is an essential factor for making the ideal co󰀨ee for your taste. There are a lot of di󰀨erent varieties of co󰀨ee blends on the mar- ket to choose from. The di󰀨erences in avour, aroma and texture depend on the quantities of the two varieties of co󰀨ee that make the blend. Arabica This is a sweeter and more delicate variety of co󰀨ee, with a rich aroma and a very thin, dense and compact cream. Robusta It is grown between 200/600 m Spicy aroma.Caffeine between 1.8 ~ 4% Arabica It is grown between 900/2000 mRich aroma.Caffeine between 0.9 ~ 1.7% Robusta This variety is woody, bitter, full-bod ied and spicy, with little aroma. Its cream is frothier and greyer. Robusta It is grown between 200/600 mSpicy aroma.Caffeine between 1.8 ~ 4% Arabica It is grown between 900/2000 m Rich aroma.Caffeine between 0.9 ~ 1.7% The blend selection is important for creating the perfect co󰀨ee for your palate. There are many blends in the market. Di󰀨erences in taste, perfume, consistency depend from the propor- tions of the two main co󰀨ee varieties. No variety of co󰀨ee alone can make the ideal Espresso. The perfect Espresso has a top layer of cream 2-3 mm thick, a nut brown to dark brown colour, with reddish tinges and light streaks, a harmonious a- vour, a strong, balanced aroma and a sweet, long-lasting aftertaste. It has a strong aroma with notes of owers, fruits, toast and chocolate. These avours can last just a moment or persist for a few minutes in your mouth. The taste is round and well structured. The acid and bitter percep- tions are well balanced whereas there is little or no astringency. The ideal parameters to obtain this type of co󰀨ee are: 7 ± 0,5 g. of ground coee. 25 seconds to brew 30 ml. 88 / 92°C when brewing and 80°C in the cup. 8 /10 bar pressure during extraction. Even Arabica blends often contain a small amount of Robusta, which is ne- c essary to enhance the cream and add aroma and body to the espresso. Blends made for bar co󰀨ees usually contain 20% Robusta but in southern Italy, where they prefer a stronger taste, the percentage can reach 40- 50%. At the end of the day, it’s just a matter of taste…experiment until you nd the blend you like best!William - PL72

Cleaning The grinder must be cleaned every 4 kg of ground co󰀨ee. Before starting, remove the plug from the electrical outlet. Use a soft cloth, preferably micro- ber, like the LELIT cloth (inserted in PLA9101 – not included with the unit), and moisten it with plain water. Do not use abrasive detergents and do not immerse the grinder in water.Cleaning of the burrsIt’s well known that the coarseness of the ground co󰀨ee a󰀨ects the quality of the espresso in the cup.During grinding, some co󰀨ee particles deposit between the teeth of the millstones reducing the distance between the discs, or between the cones and consequently also the size of the grains of co󰀨ee powder which come out of the grinder .These deposits, consisting of fats and oils, due to the high temperatures de-veloped between the burrs, go rancid quickly and create molds that damage the ground co󰀨ee in an irreversible way. The cleaning of the burrs and of the burr chamber becomes extremely im-portant. This must be performed with a specic product (code PLA9202 – not included with the unit), i.e a powder formed by small crystals based on gluten-free food-grade starches with a very high absorbing power for oils and fats.Passing through the burrs the crystals clean away the co󰀨ee deposits enabling the grinding of a co󰀨ee powder free of odors. PLA9202 Any possible residues do not contain harmful substances to the consumer or to the grinder.Cleaning the burrs is very easy, just follow the following steps:- Empty the bean hopper completely

Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning and maintenance of the grinder are essential for the quality of the grinding and the durability of the appliance.English

(2). - Press the grinding switch in order to get rid of the remaining co󰀨ee beans. - Pour a pack of grinder detergent powder (PLA9202) into the hopper (2), paying attention to the fact that the powder must penetrate the burrs. - Press the switch (4) for about 5 seconds so that the powder penetra- tes completely through the burrs. - Fill the hopper (2) with co󰀨ee beans. - Throw the rst couple of doses of ground co󰀨ee away. - The cleaning is over. Maintenance We advise to replace the burrs periodi- cally, once worn out. Maintenance has to be fullled just by an authorized service center and with original spare parts.William - PL72
