Models covered
This procedure is specific to the Latticia OT layout. Locate the removable cover on the right without touching the control, then begin a coffee and wait for the grinder to run. Move the lever a single click while the motor is audible: left makes the grind finer and right makes it coarser. Refit the cover and judge the change over the following cups; several rapid corrections make the result impossible to interpret.
Do not copy the position of a Caffeo CI control, which Melitta describes at the rear of that machine. If the Latticia lever resists, a foreign object is visible in the bean container or the coffee flow does not change after several cups, stop adjusting and contact Melitta. Keep water out of the bean container and grinder, allow hot parts to cool and never force the lever with the appliance stopped.
Before checking Melitta Coffee machine
- On Melitta Latticia OT, keep liquid away from the bean hopper, grinder and powered openings, and never force the brew unit, valve or hot-steam parts.
