Information on recipes

Depending on the recipe selected, your Espresso Automatic EA84XX will automatically adjust
the quantity of ground coffee.

Preparing the grinder

You can adjust the strength of your coffee by adjusting the size of the ground coffee. The finer
the grind the stronger and creamier the coffee, however this depends on the type of coffee
used.
Adjust the size of the ground beans by turning the "Coffee grinding setting" knob (L) in the
bean hopper. We recommend to do this during the grinding process and gradually. After three
preparations, you will notice a very distinctive difference in taste.
The grinding setting is useful when you change coffee recipe, coffee beans, or if you would
like a stronger or weaker coffee. It is not recommended that you perform this setting
systematically.
