ADJUSTMENTS

The machine that you have bought allows 
for certain adjustments that will permit 
you to use it to its full potential.

Saeco Adapting System

Coffee is a natural product and its cha-
racteristics may change according to its 
origin, blend and roast. The Saeco coff ee 
machine is equipped with a self-adjusting 
system that allows the use of all types of 
coff ee beans available on the market (non 
caramelized).   

•  The machine automatically adjusts 

itself in order to optimize the extrac-
tion of the coffee, ensuring perfect 
compression of the beans to obtain a 
creamy espresso coff ee that will release 
all the aromas, regardless of the type of 
coff ee used.

•  The optimization process is a learning 

process that requires the brewing of a 
certain number of coff ees to allow the 
machine to adjust the compactness of 
the ground coff ee. 

•  Attention should be given to spe-

cial blends, which require grinder 
adjustments in order to optimize the 
extraction of the coff ee (see section 
“Coff ee Grinder Adjustment”).
