To achieve your desired brew time and
coffee consistency, a manual adjustment
can be made on the grinder to modify
coffee grind (tamping pressure is not
adjustable and remains constant). Rotate
the adjustment disk as described below.

ground coffee, rotate the adjustment
disk clockwise; to decrease it, rotate the
adjustment disk counterclockwise.
The disk remains in the chosen position
without the need of locks

determine fineness optimal degree.
Before checking ground coffee fineness,
grind some doses of coffee to fill the duct
between grinding area and the outlet.
This operation must be done whenever the
grinding setting has been changed in order
to empty the duct of previous ground coffee.
