Guidelines for Fineness Selector Settings

4.Fill the bean container (B) with coffee beans and replace the lid. The bean container can hold up to 8 ounces of coffee beans. Note: Only coffee beans should be filled into the bean container. Never fill any of the following into the bean container: sugar-coated beans, syrups or other coatings, and instant coffee. Never fill water or any other liquid into the bean container.

5.Set the grind amount selector (I) to the number of cups of coffee you want to grind by sliding the grind amount selector (I) above the correct number. These numbers are to be used as a guide. The amount of ground coffee varies quite a bit depending on how coarse or fine you grind and whether you use light, dry beans or dark, oily beans. After grinding a few times, you will find the correct grind amount position for the amount of coffee you want to grind.

6.Set the fineness selector (C) to the desired setting (see Section "Guidelines for Fineness Selector Settings"). CAUTION: Never change the fineness selector setting while grinding!

7.Push and hold the on-button (J) for 2 seconds to start your Capresso grinder. The grinder will begin grinding the coffee directly into the ground coffee container. It will stop automatically. Attention: Beans may stick to the wall of the bean container, preventing them from falling into the burrs. You will hear a high-pitched noise from the motor when this happens. Gently shake the grinder so that the beans slide down into the burrs. Note: If you need to turn the grinder off before the grinding cycle is finished, slide the grind amount selector to the "OFF" position.

8.Be sure to unplug the appliance after every use.

Note: Coffee beans can stay in the bean container for up to 2 weeks before they will start to lose their aroma.

*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).

**The fineness settings are approximate guidelines. When using dark, oily beans, use the higher numbers of the recommended range; with light, dry beans, use the lowers numbers in the range. Attention: for espresso pump machines: if your espresso brews too fast, try a lower fineness setting. If your espresso brews too slowly, try a higher fineness setting than the ones recommended above.

Please note: the finer the grind setting, the longer it takes to grind a certain amount of coffee.
