Grinder Setting; Recognising The Correct Grinder Setting; Adjusting The Grinder Setting - Miele CVA 7440 Operating And Installation Instructions

Grinder setting

The grinder setting determines the
contact time between the ground coffee
and the water, known as the extraction
time. Only when the ideal grinder
setting is selected, can the machine
dispense a perfect cup of coffee with a
fine, hazelnut-brown crema.
Recognising the correct
grinder setting
There are various ways to tell whether
the coffee grinder is set correctly.
The grinder setting is too coarse if the
coffee or espresso is watery and tastes
acidic. The crema is very pale.
The grinder setting is too fine if the
coffee or espresso tastes too bitter and
the crema is dark brown.

Adjusting the grinder setting

If the grinder setting is adjusted by
more than one setting at a time, the
grinder can be damaged.
Only adjust the grinder one setting at
a time.
Dispense a drink after each
adjustment in order to grind a portion
of coffee beans. Adjust the grinder
setting one setting at a time again.
The slide control for the grinder setting
is located at the top left behind the
water container.
 Open the appliance door.
 Remove the water container.

 Push the slide control one setting to

drinks.
 Push the water container back into
the machine.
 Close the appliance door.

over time with use. Set the grinder to a
finer setting if necessary.
