INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

For your safety, always read and understand this Instruction Manual before attempting to use the Burr Grinder.

Before Using:

1.Carefully unpack the grinder. Remove all packaging materials.

2.Wash the bean cover, ground coffee container and ground coffee container lid in hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly. The bean cover, ground coffee container and ground coffee container lid can be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher, but may become cloudy over time. Therefore, it is recommended to hand wash all parts.

3.Wipe exterior surfaces with a soft, moist cloth to remove dust particles collected during packing and handling. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners. NEVER IMMERSE THE GRINDER, CORD OR PLUG IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

4.Be sure all parts are properly assembled and in place before use.

5.Your grinder is now ready to use.

For the first use of your coffee grinder, it is recommended to use a medium setting on the coarseness selector and then adjust the setting for future grinding according to your taste.

About Grinding Coffee:

The proper grind will brew the best cup of coffee. The grind depends on the method by which the coffee is to be brewed. Generally, the finer the grind, the more quickly the coffee should be prepared. That is why an espresso grind is much finer than coffee to be brewed in a drip coffee maker.

Coffee that is grind too fine (fine espresso grinds used in an automatic drip coffee maker) will result in bitter tasting coffee. Conversely, coffee that is too coarse for a particular brewing method will result in weak coffee. If the correct grind is used, adding more coffee will make a stronger brew without making the brewed coffee bitter.

Another benefit of a coffee burr grinder is a consistent grind. This is important to ensure that the extraction is consistent across all the ground particles. It is recommended to grind coffee beans just prior to brewing.
