Adjust grinder - DeLonghi ESAM 3000B

Ahoi!

I have a question about my new (not yet arrived *g* ) fully automatic coffee machine from DeLonghi. In the manual (I have from here) it says "Attention: The rotary knob for adjusting the grinding degree may only be adjusted while the grinding mechanism is running.". Does that mean I can only set it when coffee is being ground or does it mean you can't have the machine set to the coffee powder function?
Also would I be interested to know what effect these settings have on the taste? The instructions say that a finely ground coffee has a more beautiful crema, so does it taste different? Is it at all useful to play and test the grinder?

Hello,

You have understood correctly, the grinder may only be adjusted during the grinding process.
The grinding degree influences the result in the cup very much, the finer you grind the slower the water runs through the coffee powder, basically you can say that the more you grind the more intense is the aroma of the coffee, but for some coffees this is, mostly cheaper Robustasorten rather bad for the taste because they then become too bitter.
With high quality coffees you can vary the taste by adjusting the grind in any case and I do the same with my Delonghis - I rather move in a very fine grind range between level 1-2 , but only coffees with water quantities of up to 80 ml can be made with it, because then the water only drips through the spout and the pump can almost no longer press water through the coffee grounds, if you want to obtain coffees with more water, the grind must be at least at factory setting (medium level).
The standard grinder is usually on a medium level, would leave it that way at the beginning, so at the beginning only vary with the grinding quantity until you get your desired result.
If the result is not good enough, you can still make changes to the grinding degree, but note that a grinding degree adjustment only really comes into effect after the 3rd coffee after adjustment.

Hello snooze,

You will first have a lot to do with your ESAM 3000 B It's a super fully automatic coffee maker that makes a very good coffee because it actually gets the most out of every bean. I have also had a supermarket coffee (Dallm**r Crama d'Oro) and the machine made a delicious coffee out of it itself.

>However, I noticed quite soon the difference to the beans from the small roasting plants, because from the supermarket coffee I got stomach complaints after the second, third cup of coffee.

Until you have through the countless combinations of grind, coffee and water quantity, you will have plenty to do at the Magnifica ESAM 3000 B - and that with guaranteed fun factor!. I haven't quite had it yet and have been a very satisfied, proud owner of this DeLonghi ESAM 3000 B.

Now, congratulations on your brand new DeLonghi ESAM 3000 B Magnifika and lots of fun with this one.

Greetings
Pea

Hello, you have understood correctly, the grinder may only be adjusted during the grinding process. The finer you grind the slower the water runs through the coffee grounds, basically you can say that the finer you grind the more intense is the aroma of the coffee, but for some coffees, mostly cheaper Robusta varieties, this is rather bad for the taste because they then become too bitter. With high-quality coffees, you can vary the taste by adjusting the grind in any case and I do that with my Delonghis - I tend to move in a very fine grinding range between level 1-2, but this can only be made coffees with water quantities of up to 80 ml because then the water only drips through the outlet and the pump can almost no longer press water through the coffee grounds, you want to get coffees with more Wsssermenge must be the grinder at least on Werkseinstellun (medium level). By default, the grinder is usually on medium level, would leave it at the beginning, so in the beginning only vary with the grinding quantity until you come to your desired result. If the result is not good enough you can still make changes to the grind, but note that a grind adjustment only after the 3rd coffee after adjustment so properly comes into its own. lgHannes

woe, woe ...
I only read the instructions afterwards, and I had already turned the grinder beforehand!
Have I broken something now?

The coffee tastes kind of funny, but that could be because I just put in a new pack of beans
