Different bean grinders have different adjustment dials, so you should check the model of the coffee grinder and read the instructions carefully to determine the direction and strength of the dial. In general, if you keep in the habit of checking the settings of the bean grinder, you only need to make very small adjustments. As long as you move the turntable within 3 mm, you can change the thickness of the powder. Although 3mm is a very small number, the grinding time of the same coffee beans will change by 3-5 seconds to determine the direction you need to adjust (finer or thicker). Make sure there are enough coffee beans in the warehouse, and the valve between the warehouse and the sharpening knife is opened so that the coffee beans can fall smoothly into the grinding area.

Turn on the grinder for 10 seconds and discard the coffee powder (these are coffee powders that have not been adjusted).

Use the coffee powder to make a cup of coffee to ensure the accuracy of the steps of serving, flattening and pressing powder. The traditional method of making espresso (Ristretto) uses a water / flour ratio of 1:1 (i.e. 18 grams of coffee powder is used to make 18 grams of coffee) or 1:2 (i.e. 18 grams of coffee powder is used to make 36 grams of coffee), while a regular espresso uses a water / powder ratio of 1:2 (i.e., "Normale"). Test the quality of the coffee and the extraction time. Constantly adjust the dial to make the powder reach a perfect thickness.

When you do this, most brands of bean grinders on the market will store 60g ground coffee powder. According to our experience, you need to store at least 100g of coffee powder in the bean grinder before you can start debugging the machine, and the debugging effect is more obvious. So, you need to make at least three more espresso before you start debugging the bean grinder, and when you're done, you have to make at least five or more cups of coffee. This is very important! The last thing you want to do is go back to work and then retest and debug your machine when you need to decide whether to re-clean the coffee mill. In order to ensure the quality of coffee, if your debugging range is more than 2 scales, you need to thoroughly clean your bean grinder. Although we don't want to waste coffee, according to our experience, the effect is better after cleaning the bean grinder.

The bean grinder used in the Italian coffee machine has to be fine-tuned every day. Generally, there is a median on the Italian bean grinder, which is a relative standard. It can be fine-tuned as needed, and it should be easier to find on the adjusting plate. To make espresso, we usually use 8-10 g powder for single bowl and 14-16 g for double bowl. Other brewing methods do not need to use Italian bean grinder, manual most do not have scale, electric to commonly used little eagle little flying horse is more common, siphon pot is generally 3 degrees, hand 4-5 degrees (depending on the powder thickness of some differences) method pressure 5 degrees, mocha pot 2 degrees, but the relative value should be adjusted according to their own habits and bean grinder conditions. The amount of powder, siphon 10-12g per person, hand flush 12-15g per person plus 8-10g for each additional cup, Mocha pot to fill the powder trough to 89 minutes, French kettle generally 10g per person. The water temperature, grinding thickness, brewing time and powder amount of coffee can be said to be variables in a certain range. Each quantity has a certain amount of controllable space, but after each quantity changes, the other quantities have to change accordingly, so if you really want to master brewing skills, you can only rely on experience.
