10 ADJUSTMENTS A) Adjusting the grinding level. You can regulate the size of the ground coffee. This size has a direct effect on the coffee made by the coffee-maker and it is advisable to test the grinding level until you obtain the type of grind you prefer. To adjust the grinding level, use the regulator inside the coffee bean tank.

• Fine grind: The coffee will brew more slowly since it needs more time and pressure to obtain the coffee. Turn the regulator to the left (anticlockwise). The finer the grind, the creamier the coffee will be. not placed in the tank in a hermetically closed compartment in a cool place. IMPORTANT! Do not use high roast coffee; this type of coffee is roasted with sugar (caramelised) and may damage the coffee-maker. B) Adjusting the coffee outlet The coffee outlet can be adjusted to different heights de pending on the size of the cups that are being used:

1. To use large cups, slide the coffee

outlet up to the top position.

2. To use espresso cups, slide the coffee outlet down to the bottom position.

Important! If you grind the coffee too finely (grinding level regulator full to the left), the coffee will brew very slowly. N.B. The coffee outlets can be removed for cleaning.

• Coarse grind: The coffee will brew more quickly. Press and turn the regulator to the right (clockwise). C) Adjusting the amount of water per cup To adjust the quantity of water per cup (between 30ml and 150ml), press: + To increase the quantity of water per cup - To reduce the quantity of water per cup 30 ml.
