Grind Guidance

Start in the middle of your espresso range on your grinder, and Series 1 will tell you to go finer or coarser after your shot pulls. It is expected that you might need to adjust based on your specific variables (i.e. location, climate, water mineral content, etc.). Small adjustments go a long way!

Tips

• Adjust grind size if your shot pulls too fast (grind finer) or too slow (grind coarser)

• Clean your Series 1 regularly for optimal performance
