Interesting facts

• The taste of beverages containing coffee depends on the quality of the used coffee or espresso beans.
Condition for the aromatic preparation of beverages with coffee is the perfect grinding of the roasted
beans as this increases the surface for the contact with water and thus, the release of fl avours.
• A roasted coffee bean contains more than 1,000 different fl avouring substances. The fi ner the grind-
ing, the more substances are released.
• After a few minutes already, the ground powder looses more the 50 % of its fl avour. Therefore, coffee
specialists recommend storing whole coffee beans and only grinding the quantity just needed.
• Different coffee beverages require different coarseness settings; but also the beans' sort and roasting
as well as your personal taste decide on how fi ne the coffee powder should be ground. Take our rec-
ommendations (see below) as basis and try yourself by means of the very fl exible setting possibilities
until you have found your individual coarseness setting.
§ Coarse powder is suitable for hand-fi ltered coffee.
§ Medium powder is used with usual boiler espresso machines.
§ Fine powder is suitable for fi lter coffee makers or for automatic pump pressure espresso machines.
§ Extra-fi ne powder is recommended for manual mocha-making.
• This appliance is equipped with 2 fl at, teethed grinding disc for fl avour-preserving grinding. The discs
