Grind fineness setting
4. PREPARING GROUND COFFEE
4.1. Grind fineness settings
There are 16 highly precise settings (which are essentially continuous) for selecting the de-
gree of fineness of the grind. Each of the 4 main settings is subdivided into 4 fineness steps
– allowing selection ranging from extra-fine- to fine- to medium- to coarse-ground coffee.
Tastes and preferences vary, so we recommend trying out different settings according to
personal preference and the type of coffee bean roast. We can suggest the following as a
general guide and for reference:
Coarse
particularly suitable for making coffee pow-
der when the coffee is filtered manually
Medium
recommended if using ground
coffee in conventional stove-top
espresso machines
Fine
should be selected when using ground cof-
fee in filter coffee machines or in automatic
pump-pressure espresso machines.
Extra Fine
recommended for preparing
mocha or Turkish or Greek coffee
Dark oily beans should be ground 1 or 2 steps coarser than usual
The finer the grind setting selected, the longer the time required to grind a given quantity.
For example, in 20 seconds the machine grinds more coffee with the Coarse setting
than with the Fine setting.
If the coffee in the coffee machine is too thin or is running through too quickly, try a finer
grind setting. If espresso or coffee is taking too long to brew, try a coarser grind setting.
