4.2 Adjusting Grind Settings
The integrated grinder offers 5 adjustable grind settings to suit different coffee bean types and desired brew strengths. Rotate the dial inside the bean hopper to select your preferred grind size. Finer grinds are suitable for espresso, while coarser grinds are better for drip or French press methods.
