How do I change the strength of the espresso on La Specialista range?

The intensity of the coffee is determined by the roasting type and strength* of the coffee beans you choose, and the fineness setting you choose on the grinder which ranges from 1- finest to 8 - coarse (on La Specialista - EC9335 the grinding range is from 1 to 6):
  • When the desire is a more intense coffee you should choose a lower setting which will result in a finer grind.
  • For a lighter coffee choose a higher setting resulting in a more coarse grind.
Important - When you adjust the grinder, you must only move it by one click at a time and only while the grinder is in operation. A small adjustment makes a big difference. It may take a few grinds until you reach the desired grind consistency.

*Please note: The strength of the coffee is determined by the grind, not by the amount of coffee. You should never use the coffee amount dial to determine the coffee strength .
