SAECO ADAPTING SYSTEM

Coffee is a natural product and its characteristics may change according to its origin, blend and roast. The Saeco coffee machine is equipped with a self-adjusting system that allows the use of all types of coffee beans available on the market (not including avored or carmelized). The machine automatically adjusts itself in order to optimize the extraction of the coffee, ensuring perfect compression of the beans to obtain a creamy espresso coffee that is able to release all the aromas, regardless of the type of coffee used. The optimization process is a learning process that requires the brewing of a certain number of coffees to allow the machine to adjust the compactness of the ground coffee. Attention should be given to special blends, which require grinder adjustments in order to optimize the extraction of the coffee (see page 11).
COFFEE GRINDER ADJUSTMENT

The machine enables a slight adjustment of the coffee grinder. Coffee may be ground according to your own tastes. The adjustment must be performed using the small pin located inside the coffee bean hopper. This must be pressed down and turned by means of the supplied grinder adjustment key only. Press and turn the pin one notch at a time. You will need to brew 2-3 cups of coffee before you taste a difference. The references located inside the bean hopper indicate the grind setting.
