insoluble materials (fats and colloids) in the coffee are "drawn out" into the cup, forming the characteristic
cream of real espresso. The preparation of espresso is a very delicate process; various factors affect the

roasted coffee must be kept hermetically sealed inside its package. The roasted coffee beans contain within
them all the principles and characteristic aromas of the variety or the blend; these aromas fade rapidly when
the coffee beans come into contact with air, light and humidity.
1.3 The grinder-dispenser and the grinding process
The grinder-dispenser is a device designed to grind and dispense the coffee. To make a good espresso, the
coffee should be ground to particle sizes ranging from about 1 mm to a powder finer than 150 µm. Powdered

to the manual piston type (known as lever operated). La San Marco S.p.A. grinder-dispensers are profes-
sional devices designed and built to be used with this type of espresso coffee machine.
1.6 Climatic conditions - Operator
As already mentioned, to make a good espresso it is essential that the coffee be ground to a proper particle
size. Ground coffee is very hygroscopic; in other words, it "senses" the moisture in the air and grinding should
therefore be modified to suit varying climatic conditions; a ground coffee with a high moisture content increas-

For these reasons, the operator has a very important role in the espresso coffee-making process.

4.3 Programming the grinding time
The electronic control unit controls the grinding time and restarts the grinder-dispenser after a certain number
of batches of ground coffee are dispensed. The unit is programmed by the manufacturer according to
preset values (see table). The grinder-dispenser, started with the push button 3, remains active and stops at
the end of the preset grinding time or is stopped by the action of the
overflow limit switch, which resets the timer. The grinder-dispenser
starts again after a certain number of batches of ground coffee,
based on the impulses given by the lever 17, and stops at the end of
the preset grinding time or, as already mentioned, it is stopped by the
action of the overflow limit switch. The installer can modify the set-
tings on the electronic control unit if the user of the appliance

Unscrew the upper grinder support and remove it from its seat.
Replace the grinders and align the lower grinder with the three scraping teeth (the distance from these teeth
is 0,9 mm; to center the machine we suggest using a thickness gauge).
Clean the grinder seats and the thread of the upper grinder support accurately.
Screw the upper grinder support down to where the upper grinder grazes the lower one; this operation

Finally, insert the adjusting ring nut, making sure that the hopper locking screw is slightly ahead of the

It is important to remember that in this case the hopper locking screw will not allow the grinder stop pin to
be passed in the grinder opening phase, which, since the grinders are already in contact with each other,
would make it impossible to grind the coffee to the proper degree of fineness, and the brewed coffee would
not flow out of the spout or would just drip out.
