Grinding for Espresso/

Cappuccino

The Krups Fast-touch (F203) is acceptable for grinding beans for boiler type espresso machines. We do not recommend using the Fast-Touch to grind beans for use with pump espresso machines. Pump espresso machines require a disc type grinder such as the KRUPS «II Barista» ref 220 or a similar, professional style espresso grinder. This type of grinder will prevent coffee dust which can impede the flow of water throught the espresso machine.

Grinding Coffee

•Grinding time depends on how coarse or fine a grind you desire. We do not recommend grinding coffee longer than 20 seconds. Longer use will not result in a finer grind, but in overheated coffee. As a result coffee will lose its flavor.

•The Fast-Touch (model F203) has a larger 3 oz. bean capacity for up to 15 cups of fresh coffee.

Cleaning

Keeping your grinder clean is essential in achieving optimal taste results. Most coffee beans contain oils that may, over time, become stronger in flavor and could affect the taste oy your coffee.

Be sure that grinder is unplugged before cleaning!

•Remove all coffee after each grinding. A small soft brush or cloth is helpful in removing ground coffee from lid and blades.

•Wipe inside of grinder lid and blades very carrefully with a damp cloth.

•Base unit can be wiped down with a damp cloth. NEVER immerse base unit in water or any other liquid!

•Lid can be washed in warm water, using a mild detergent, or be placed in th etop rack of the dishwasher and used on gentle cycle.
