8.2. Grind adjustment system
8.2.1. Micrometrical system / Parallel micrometrical system
Rotate the grind regulator ( ) until reaching the grind level desired. Rotating the
grind regulator counterclockwise will result in a courser grind; turning the regulator
clockwise will result in a ner grinder* (Fig. 3).
Once you reach the desired grinding point, you can x the grinding regulation ()
using the regulation break ( ) (Fig. 4). Except K3 and K3 ELITE models.
*NOTE: Changing grind settings must be done when the grinder is on and burrs are in motion.
Not doing this suposes that the burrs will gunk up and cleaning will be required.
8.2.2. Stepped grind adjustment
In the stepped adjustment versions, the positions on the grind regulator are limited
by “steps” that are dened by the hole and pin points (Fig. 5).
The instructions detailed in section 8.2.1. on adjusting the regulator should be

NOTE: If the output is very slow, it could mean that the coffee is being ground too
ne. If the output is very fast, it could mean that the coffee is being ground too
coarse. A perfect espresso grind is found when the grind point gives an infusion of
25 ml of coffee in 25 seconds using 7 grams of ground coffee.
8.3. Regulating the coffee serving
The dispensers are factory adjusted to serve an amount of approximately 7 gr of
ground coffee, but this quantity can be regulated between 6 and 10 gr, as follows:
1. Remove the ground coffee dispenser lid ( ) and turn the dispensing regulation
screw ( ) clockwise to obtain a smaller amount of coffee, and counterclockwise
to obtain a larger amount (Fig. 6).
2. Once the quantity of eachserving has been regulated, replace the ground coffee
dispenser lid ( ).
