Customizing your coffee To ensure that your coffee system is ideally adjusted to the type of coffee you use, you can use the "Parameters" , menu to change the ground amount, adjust the brewing temperature or select the "Pre-brewing" option. You can customize these settings for each beverage. You can also adjust the grinder setting to suit the type of coffee you are using. To prevent damage to the grinder: Adjust the coffee grinder one level at a time. Let the beans grind before adjusting another notch. ^ Open the appliance door. Grinder setting When the beans are ground correctly the coffee or espresso will flow evenly into the cup and have a good crema. The ideal crema has a hazel coloring. There are various ways to tell whether the coffee grinder is set correctly. The grind is too coarse if - espresso or coffee flows into the cup too quickly; - the crema is very pale and uneven. Use a finer grinder setting so the coffee beans will be ground more finely. The grind is too fine if - espresso or coffee flows into the cup very slowly; - the crema is dark brown. Use a coarser grinder setting so the coffee beans will be ground more coarsely. ^ Push the grinder slide control to the left by no more than one level (for a finer grind) or to the right (for a coarser grind). ^ Close the appliance door. ^ Prepare a coffee beverage. Then you can adjust the grinder by another level. The adjusted grinder setting will only take effect after the second coffee portion. 27
