ENGLISH
Grinding coffee beans
The coffee should be freshly ground and subjected to deep roasting. You may need to use French
or Italian roasted coffee powder for espresso. Pre-ground coffee powder can only remain
scented for 7 to 8 days unless it is stored in a sealed container and placed in a cool place. Do
not store coffee in the refrigerator or freezer. It is recommended to grind all coffee beans into
powder before use. The fragrance of the coffee beans stored in the sealed container can be
maintained for 4 weeks.
This is a vital step in the espresso making process if you are grinding your own coffee and takes
practice. The coffee must be of a fine grind. The correct grind should look like salt. If the grind is
too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under pressure. These grinds look like
powder and feel like flour when rubbed between fingers.
If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast, preventing a full-flavored
extraction. Be sure to use a quality mill for uniform consistency.
Press the power button, the grinding light indicator will turn on indicating the grinding process
is activated. Fill the coffee bean tank with suitable coffee beans and turn the adjustment knob
to the desired setting. Insert the portafilter and place it on the portafilter holder and push it
forwards for the device to dispense ground coffee. The light indicator will flash white during the
grinding process.
Note: If the portafilter is not fitted properly into position, the indicator will light up in red and will
flash.
It is suggested to grind coffee at level 8-10 for a maximum of 1 minute each time.
If the pressure gauge indicates too low pressure during brewing, turn the grind knob to a finer
setting and then try to grind the beans to brew the coffee.
If the pressure gauge indicates too high pressure during brewing and coffee cannot be brewed or
coffee is over-extracted, turn the grind knob to a coarser setting and grind beans to brew coffee.
Recommendation: In order to obtain the best results and the best coffee flavour, carry out the
grinding process and coffee press in such way that coffee is extracted at 9 bars approx.
