Rommelsbacher EKM 500 [22/32] Integrated scale

Setting the grinding degree

Integrated scale

• Different coffee beverages also require a different grinding degree; but also the type and roasting of the

beans as well as your personal taste make the decision on how ﬁ nely the coffee powder needs to be

ground. Take our recommendations (see below) as a basis and just try it out yourself until you have found

your individually matching grinding degree by means of the very variable setting options.

setting application

1 – 10

• extra-ﬁ nely ground powder is recommended for automatic pump pressure

espresso machines.

10 – 20

• ﬁ nely ground powder is suitable for ﬁ lter coffee machines and for hand

brewed coffee.

20 – 30

• medium ground powder is used in conventional automatic boiler espresso

machines and espresso makers.

30 – 39 • coarsely ground powder is suitable for piston pump coffee makers (”French Press“).

• By turning the setting ring below the beans container to the right or to the left, the grinding degree can be

individually adjusted.

• Setting “1“ means extra-ﬁ ne powder, setting “39“ very coarsely ground powder.

• The appliance is equipped with a scale. With the integrated scale you can grind coffee powder from

whole beans accurately weighed-to-the gram.

• In factory setting, the scale is adjusted so that the supplied powder container with ﬁ tted cover

corresponds to the tare weight “0-position” on the scale.

• Of course, you can also put another container (e.g. a coffee ﬁ lter for hand-made coffee) on the

scale and have the coffee powder ground directly into this container. In this case, the tare weight

(”0”-position) has to be adjusted to the corresponding container.

• In order to guarantee a proper function of the scale it is necessary to place the appliance on an even

surface and that the appliance does not wobble during operation.

NOTE: The scale only works with the functions “portion-controlled” and “weight-controlled” grinding.

The maximum load of the scale is 3 kg.

Checking or re-setting the tare weight („0“-position)

• Place an empty container (e.g. the supplied powder container with ﬁ tted cover) on the scale plate.
