of coffee to appear overfilled in your
portafilter. Untamped coffee is three
times the volume of tamped coffee.
B. Grinding into Grinds Container
• Slide Grinds Container with cap open
under Grind Outlet.
• Use AUTOMATIC or MANUAL
grinding function to start operation
using the START | CANCEL button on
the control panel.
You can grind into the Grinds Container
without the lid. However, we recommend
keeping the lid on to prevent coffee grinds
from escaping.
NOTE
Never let ground coffee exceed the
‘MAX’ mark on the Grinds Container.
Too much coffee in the Grinds
Container can back-up into the Grind
Outlet. If grinding continues, this can
burn out the motor.
