•Clogging and Overflow: If your grinder cannot process the water through the grounds, overflow or clogging might occur. Choose a coarser grind size setting.

ESPRESSO GRIND

• When using espresso pump machines

and automatic coffee centers - if your

coffee or espresso brews too fast, try a

finer grind size setting. If your coffee or

espresso brews too slow, try a coarser

grind size setting.

• When the grind is too fine (feels powdery

HINTS & TIPS

•Fresh grinds are the key to making coffee with more flavor and body.

•Coffee flavor and strength is a personal preference. Vary the type of coffee beans, amount of coffee and fineness of grind to achieve the flavor you prefer.

•Grinding times will vary depending on amount and grind fineness.

•To ensure optimal grinding performance, allow Coffee Grinder to cool for at least 2 minutes between uses.

•Use freshly roasted coffee beans, preferably with a ‘roasted on’ date.

•Store coffee beans in a dark, cool and dry place. Vacuum seal if possible.

•Buy coffee beans in small batches to reduce the storage time and store no more than one week’s supply at any time.

•Only grind the amount of coffee you will use for preparing coffee within the next hour. Ground coffee looses its aroma and flavor very fast and attracts other odors. For best results, grind beans immediately before brewing.

•Do not store beans in the Bean Hopper for a prolonged period.

•When storing the Grinder, run the grinder with an empty hopper to clear the Grind Outlet of any beans.

•Run grinder for 2 seconds before each use for maximum freshness.

•Clean the Bean Hopper and Conical Burrs regularly.

•The Conical Burr Grinder will not grind food that is sticky or extremely hard ie. chocolate, cheese, whole nutmeg, candied fruits, etc.

•The Conical Burr Grinder will not make pastes of any fruits, seeds or herbs ie. curry pastes, nut batters.

•For French Press: Please follow the instructions of your French Press coffee maker (after pouring water over the ground coffee, stir thoroughly to prevent the ground coffee from clogging).

•Dark, oily beans: Grind dark oily beans one or two settings coarser than medium or light brown beans. On the finest settings, it is possible that oil residue from dark, oily beans can clog the Grind Outlet.

like flour and tends to clump together

when compressed), there is no space

between the grinds for water to pass

through. Not only can this block the

Dual Wall Filter, but the espresso will

be over-extracted, dark and bitter.

• When the grind is too coarse (feels

like granulated sugar), water will pass

through the grinds too quickly, resulting

in espresso that is under-extracted and

lacking flavor.

• The perfect espresso grind will produce

a layer of caramel colored crema that

floats on top of the espresso following

extraction. The grind should feels like

fine sand. When rubbed between your

fingertips it will slightly stain them while

keeping its granular consistency.

WHEN THE COFFEE GRINDER ! IS SWITCHED OFF, PARTIALLY

GROUND COFFEE BEANS

REMAIN BETWEEN THE GRINDING BURRS.

THE GRIND ADJUSTMENT IN THE FINE DIRECTION SHOULD ALWAYS BE MADE WITH THE COFFEE GRINDER IN OPERATION.
