How to adjust the grinding level of your espresso machine

Adjust the grinding level of your coffee beans while they are being ground. For light-roasted beans, turn the selector counter-clockwise for a finer grinding. For dark-roasted beans, turn the selector clockwise for a coarser grinding.

If your coffee is only dispensed drop by drop, too thin, or has too little cream, adjust the grinding level for a coarser grinding.
