5.3. Operating Modes

The MI40 Touch offers three primary operating modes:

• Standard Mode: Allows you to select a pre-programmed dose by pressing the corresponding button on the touchscreen. The grinder will dispense the set amount of coffee.
• Push and Grind Mode: Grinding starts when the portafilter activates the button on the fork and stops when the portafilter is removed. This mode is ideal for manual control.
• Barista Hands-Free Mode: Similar to Push and Grind, but designed for continuous grinding as long as the portafilter is in place, allowing baristas to multitask.
