GRINDING OPERATION
Insert bean hopper into position on-top of
the machine. Turn knob to lock into place. Fill
hopper with fresh beans.
TIP
We recommend quality 100% Arabica beans
with a 'Roasted On' date stamped on the bag,
not a 'Best Before' or 'Use By' date. Coffee beans
are best consumed between 5–20 days after
the 'Roasted On' date. Stale coffee may pour too
quickly from the portafilter spouts and taste
bitter and watery.
SELECTING GRIND SIZE
There are 45 espresso grind size settings (No.1
– finest, No. 45 – coarsest) to enable you to
select the right grind size for your coffee beans
and achieve the perfect espresso extraction.
To select grind size, rotate the grind size dial
counter-clockwise to increase grind coarseness
or clockwise to increase grind fineness.
We recommend you start at No. 30 and adjust
as required to control espresso flow rate.

larger cups.
