Subject: Setting grinder in old Saeco Superautomatico
|
Hello,
somebody gave me this [1] old Saeco, and I have cleaned the inside (yes,
outside still messy :-)) to try and see if it can beat my el cheapo
grinder and small espresso machine. So far i have decalcified it and got
rid of most of the old coffee. More tips welcome though :-)
However, there is no crema on the smaller size servings, and I think the
rest is to big. THe only thing I can think of is adjusting the grinder -
if that is possible. I don't think I can adjust the pressure on the coffee?
If anyone can inform whether I can set the grinder to a smaller grind
using the screw on the left or the big bolt in the middle I would be
very grateful indeed :-)

Yes, and i found it :-)
the coffee 'basket' falls into the plastic ring that i had removed,
turning the basket turns the ring and the copper ring you can see, and
there we are. It was a bit messy so I had to twist it with slightly
more force than I dared the first time :-)
thanks for the advice!

should be possible. is there a ring to turn?
I don't think I can adjust the pressure on the coffee?
No you cannot.

I do not see any adjustment features. and it is NOT the bolt in the middle!
Clean out the grinder then . . .
New burrs perhaps.
