5.2 Adjusting Grind Level
The machine offers 5 levels of grinding. To adjust, locate the grind adjustment knob inside the bean hopper. Turn the knob while the grinder is operating (e.g., during a brew cycle) to select a finer or coarser grind. A finer grind results in stronger coffee, while a coarser grind yields a milder taste.
