Miele CVA 4068 - Manual (Page 21)

The finer the coffee beans are ground
determines the strength of the coffee
and the quality of the crema.
To prevent machine damage adjust
the coffee grinder one level at a
time and let the beans grind before
adjusting another notch. Otherwise
the machine will be damaged.
The grinder should be adjusted:
– If the espresso flows too quickly into
the cup, the pressure cannot be built
up because the beans have been
ground too coarsely. The grinder
should be adjusted to a finer setting.
– If the espresso only trickles into the
cup, the beans have been ground
too fine and the coffee will be bitter.
The grinder should be adjusted to a
coarser setting.
– If the crema is evenly colored but
pale, the ground coffee is too
coarse.
– If the crema is very dark brown on
one side, graduating almost to white
on the other, the ground coffee is too
fine.
To adjust the grinder setting
^ Push the slide control to the left for a
finer grind or to the right for a coarser
grind.
You should be able to feel the notches
when moving the slide control.
If the slide control will not move:
^ Close the machine and dispense a
cup of coffee.
Then try to move the slide control
again.
