Coffee grinding

Grinding coffee beans is a crucial step in the espresso brewing process, and repeated practice is recommended.

This product has a function to grind coffee beans. Before using this function, make sure that all parts are installed correctly.

1. Add an adequate amount of coffee beans to the coffee bean hopper. To avoid humidity and oxidation of the coffee beans, which can affect the grind, the malavour of the coffee and the extraction effect, do not put too many coffee beans in the hopper.
2. Place the portaliter in the portaliter holder located on the left side of the machine
3. Press the grinding touch icon to start grinding the grains. When the set amount is

reached, the grinding function stops automatically. To stop grinding, press this touch icon again.

The correct ground co-ee should appear as thick and ne as salt. If the co-ee beans are ground too ne and the water nw is blocked, it can cause the extracted co-ee liquid to be intermittent or unable to be extracted. If the co-ee beans are ground too coarsely and the water owns through the ground co-ee too quickly, it will not be able to effectively extract the oil and aromatic components of the co-ee, which will a ect the avour.
4. Adjust the grind level to 5-10 by turning the grind size selector.

Dose of ground co ee:

• One cup = 7 g of ground coffee.
• Twn cups = 14 g of ground coffee.
  Note: You can adjust the thickness of the ground co-ee by adjusting the grinding gear and there may be differences in the variety, degree of roast, freshness and quality of the co-ee beans you use. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly set and adjust the size and grinding gear to achieve the best extraction effect.
• Compact the coffee with the tamper.

DIY grinding adjustment

The default grinding time is 15 seconds.

Warning: The maximum continuous use time is 3 minutes. If it exceeds 3 minutes of continuous operation, the grinding touch icon will ash as a warning, and the grinder will forcibly stop for 6 minutes. In order to continue using the grinder it will be necessary to unplug and plug in the co-ee machine or restore the factory settings. After the interval time reaches 6 minutes, the system will automatically lift this restriction, and the grinding system will return to normal.

1. Press and hold the grinding touch icon for 5 seconds for the co-ee machine to enter the DIY grind time setting.
2. Automatically, after 5 seconds, the grinder will start to grind coffee, and it will be necessary to press the grinding touch icon again to stop the grinder and memorise the time it has been running. The next time the grinding touch icon is pressed, the previously memorised time will run. If the touch icon is not pressed to stop grinding, the machine will grind for a maximum of 20 seconds. You can return to the initial time by restoring the factory settings.

Resetting to factory settings
