Adjust grind level 1 level while in operation. ### Can I clear Ground too fine. Adjust grind level 1 level while in operation myself? Make sure the water tank is pushed fully in. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why did Ground too fine start after I fitted a new filter in my Bertazzoni? A fresh softener filter can release an air bubble into the water line. Run a little hot water from the spout until the flow evens out. ### How is the grind changed on a Bertazzoni built-in coffee maker? One click toward 7 while the grinder is running, and the change shows after two coffees. Bertazzoni has this done with the machine out of the cabinet, so we can do it on a visit if you prefer. ### Does Ground too fine mean my Bertazzoni grinder is broken? No. It points to a grind set finer than these beans like, or to an interrupted water supply. A broken grinder usually shows Fill bean container or runs with no coffee coming out. --- **[Read on the site: Bertazzoni Ground too fine: the coffee is running too slowly](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/error-codes/bertazzoni-ground-too-fine/)** **[Book a visit with CoffeeMachineRepair.center](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
