Subject: Re:perfect grind - by: Bert
Hi there;
I used this page to calibrate my son's Virtuoso for a finer grind. After the adjustment it would grind so fine that he was able to plug his Saeco Aroma.
Be patient though when doing...

Subject: perfect grind - by: watchfull
Hi , I just joined this interesting site.
