swift epsb
The Swift grinder is the only grinder that grinds and tamps on demand, with no
waste and no mess, to an accurate volumetric dose.
Swift’s clever engineering and design guarantee level and consistent coffee beds,
time after time. Flat ceramic burrs ensure minimal heat buildup during the
grinding process. Compatible with all La Marzocco espresso machines. Swift is
ideal for high volume locations where consistency is key. Swift technology
maintains quality in the cup, shot after shot, no matter who is using it.

The SWIFT EPSB is easy to
install.
However, there are several
important consideraons
to keep in mind. The SWIFT
EPSBrequires a grounded
110v, 15 amp (or 220v, 7.5
amp) power supply. It also
requires a minimum 16” x
16” (406 mm x 406 mm)
space on the counter. Since
the unit is 26” (660 mm) in
height,allow at least 30” (762
mm) of vercal clearance so
there is sucient space to
allowtheeasyremovalofthe
bean hoppers and lids. The
SWIFT EPSB weighs about 75
lbs(34kg),somakesureyour
counter will support this.
(1) Install the bean hoppers
and ghten the safety
screws.
(2) Plug the SWIFT EPSB
into a grounded 110v or
220v single phase power
supply.
4. Installaon
(4) Open the bean gates.
(3)Pourcoeeintothebean
hoppers.
Leave space above the
SWIFT EPSB.
EN

The portalter engages
directly to the SWIFT EPSB.
Since the SWIFT EPSBhas
no waterght seal, it is
not necessary to force the
portalter into place. Engage
the portalter with only a
light amount of force. If the
grinder shis on the counter
top, you are using too much
force.
5. Engaging the Portalter
There is no need to force it
intoposion.
Engageportaltergently.
(5) Turn on the grinder by
engaging the main power
switch. The red light will
come on.

6. Operang the SWIFT EPSB
6.1 SWIFT EPSB
Once the portalter is
engaged, press one of the
start buons located at the
front of the SWIFT EPSB.
The right and le buons
correspond to the right and
lebean hoppers. Coee will
be ground, dosed, and tamped
from one of these locaons,
depending on which buon
you press.The red indicator
lights located above the
start buons are illuminated
when the SWIFT EPSBis

the red light corresponding
to the buon selected is no
longer illuminated, you may
remove the portalter from
the SWIFT EPSBand engage

7. Adjusng Coee Grind
Toachieveyourdesiredbrew
me and coee consistency,
a manual adjustment can
be made to the grinder to
modify the grind of the
coee.(Thetampingpressure
is not adjustable and remains
constant). Rotate the adjustor
knobsasdescribedbelow.
(1) Locate the grinder adjustor
knobthatcorrespondsto
theleorrightsideofthe
grinder.
(2)Grindingthecoeemore
nely will result in a
slower pour. To achieve
a slower pour, adjust the
knobsasfollows:
Lebeanhopper: Turn the
knob counter-clockwise.
Right bean hopper: Turn
theknobclockwise.
(3)Grindingthecoeemore
coarsely will result in a
faster pour. To achieve
a faster pour, adjust the
knobsasfollows:
Le bean hopper: Turn
theknobclockwise.
Rightbeanhopper:
Turn the knob counter-
clockwise.When making
this adjustment,
remember to turn the
knob in a minimum of
half-turn increments.
Brew one or two shots to
test the adjustment.
Note: There are many
variables that can aect
