About grinding coffee

The correct grinding coarseness will give the most flavourful cup of coffee.The correct coarseness of the grind depends on the method in which the coffee is to be prepared.

Generally, the finer the grind the more quickly the coffee should be prepared, which is why coffee ground for use in an espresso machine is much finer than coffee brewed in a drip or filter system. Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular brewing process - (e.g fine espresso grind used in a drip filter coffee machine) will result in over-extraction and bitter, pungent tasting coffee.

Conversely, coffee that is too coarse for a particular preparation method will result in under-extraction and weak, watery coffee. If the correct grind is used, adding more coffee simply makes a brew stronger without making it bitter.

In addition to providing a number of grind settings, coffee grinders provide a consistent grind.This is important to ensure the extraction is consistent across all of the ground coffee particles.

Before first use

Before using the coffee grinder, wipe the housing and bean

hopper with a clean damp cloth. Wash the coffee bean hopper lid, ground coffee container and ground coffee container lid in hot soapy water, then rise and dry thoroughly.

The ground coffee holder, its lid and the bean hopper lid can be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher.
