One of the most important factors
in making delicious espresso is
setting up the grinder properly.
If the grind is too coarse the shots
will be very thin with no body and
will come out too quickly.
If the grind is too fine then the
shots will be bitter and will take a
long time to brew or may not even
come out at all.
Different coffee beans may require
a different grind setting or the
same beans that have aged may
require a finer grinder adjustment.
The grind should be adjusted to
produce a 2 oz shot of espresso in
approximately 25 seconds.

out too slow or not at all then
adjust the grind coarser.
The grinder adjustment knob is
located behind the front door as
shown in diagram 4.2 on page 4.
Making espresso with the Monza
is as simple as just pressing a
EXWWRQLW¶VUHDOO\WKDWHDV\
There are 2 espresso buttons, a
short and a tall and both can be
programmed individually to
accomodate your personal taste.
Pressing either button once will
produce a single shot of espresso.
Pressing either button twice will
produce 2 consecutive shots.
In the process of making a shot
you can press the same button
again while brewing and it will stop
the brew cycle immediately.
To program an espresso button,
press and hold the button you
would like to program until the
display reads ³SURJUDPPLQJ´ DQG
then release the button.
When the shot has reached the
desired level press the same
button again to save the setting.
You may program either button for
any volume desired, but brewing
more than 2 ounces at one time
will start to bring the bitters out in
the coffee. Recommended settings
are 1 oz. for a short shot and 2 oz.
for a tall shot.
