SELECTING GROUND COFFEE
Coffee must be well-roasted and freshly ground. Pre-ground coffee can retain its aroma for 7 to 8 days if stored in a closed container and in a cool place. It is not recommended to store coffee in a fridge or freezer. For a higher quality coffee, the manufacturer recommends using freshly ground coffee beans.

GRINDING COFFEE
Grinding is a key step in the process of making coffee and it requires a lot of practice.

Properly ground coffee should look like salt.
Too fine grinding can result in intermittent coffee flow or the inability to brew the beverage.
If ground coffee is too coarse, water will flow through the coffee too quickly, which will affect the aroma and taste of the extracted coffee.
You can control the grinding degree by adjusting the coffee grinder built in the coffee machine (see the chapter below).
Recommended settings:
Freshly roasted coffee beans (no more than 1 month), the grinding position is set between 10-15, for a double portion of coffee, about 19 g of powder is required, and for one – 13 g.
To obtain a homogeneous ground coffee, adjust the grinding degree according to the type and quality of coffee beans in order to have a high-quality cup of coffee.
