OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE conical burr Grinder ™

HANDY HINTS

For best flavor, grind coffee beans in an airtight container.

Grind coffee beans immediately before brewing.

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.

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

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.

The Grind (for espresso machines)

When the grind is too fine (feels powdery 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.

BCG450XL /A specifications

The Breville BCG450XL/A is a high-quality conical burr coffee grinder, designed to meet the demands of coffee enthusiasts and baristas alike. With its focus on precision grinding and ease of use, this appliance has become a staple in many kitchens.

One of the standout features of the BCG450XL/A is its conical burr design. Unlike blade grinders, which can produce unevenly ground coffee, the conical burrs ensure a consistent grind size. This is crucial for extracting the best flavors from coffee beans, as different brewing methods require different grind sizes. The conical shape allows for a slow and uniform grinding process, leading to a better-tasting cup of coffee.

The grinder offers an impressive range of grind settings, with 25 different options available. This versatility allows users to tailor their grind size to suit a variety of brewing methods, from fine espresso grounds to coarse French press settings. The grind size is easily adjustable with a user-friendly dial, making it simple to switch between different preferences.

Another significant feature is the doser, which allows for precise portion control. The grinder can dispense the desired amount of coffee directly into the portafilter or brewing chamber. This eliminates waste and ensures you have the exact amount of coffee needed for each brew. The BCG450XL/A also includes a timer that allows you to set grinding duration, providing additional control over the grinding process.

Additionally, the grinder is equipped with a powerful and quiet motor that operates efficiently without disturbing the peace of your kitchen. The motor is designed to minimize heat production during grinding, which helps preserve the essential oils and flavors in the coffee beans.

Constructed with durable materials, the Breville BCG450XL/A is built to last. Its sleek design fits seamlessly into modern kitchens, and the removable grinding chamber makes cleaning a breeze.

In summary, the Breville BCG450XL/A stands out due to its conical burr design, extensive grind settings, precise dosing capabilities, and durability. It's a perfect choice for those who demand quality and consistency in their coffee grinding experience.
