4. Grinding point and regu-
lation
The grinding point (coarser or finer)
will depend on the coffee blend qua-
lity used, its roasting point, humidity
(the more humid the conditions are
the coarser the grinding point must
be) and coffee machine conditions.
Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the
grinding point periodically (on a daily
basis). To do that we must use the
grinding regulator
upper right side of the machine. If we
turn the regulator forward (clockwise)
we will obtain a finer grinding, whe-
reas turning it backwards (counter-
clockwise) will result in a coarser
grinding point.
The grinding point is factory adjusted
for a medium grinding point. It is
therefore necessary to proceed with
a preliminary grinding adjustment to
achieve the best grinding quality.

It is recommended that you check
the espresso coffee result on the cup
and its taste, taking into consideration
that an excessively coarse regulation
results in lighter coffees (watered) with
neither aroma nor cream, whereas
an excessively fine regulation results
in short shots, strong and dense in
excess.
