The programs and different grinding modes are also shown on the touchscreen display, making it easy to choose the right mode.
This feature is a significant improvement that allows you to grind coffee accurately to the gram.
You can set the grinding mode to suit your own coffee drinking style. The Melitta Calibra coffee grinder has 39 different grinding settings, from coarse to fine. For a regular espresso shot, a fine grind (level 1-5) is appropriate. If you prefer pour-over coffee, you can choose a medium setting (level 6-26). When using a French press, you should choose a coarse grind (level 27-39).
The Calibra grinder offers 3 different grinding programs. For those who like simplicity, the machine has an automatic grinding mode and measures the correct amount for one or more cups of coffee ("Number of cups" grinding program). If you know how much coffee you need to make a great cup of coffee, you can choose the weight measurement program ("Weight" grinding program). Alternatively, you can adjust the amount of coffee manually with the grinding time ("Manual" grinding program).
