COFFEE GRINDING TIPS

1.Grind only beans you will immediately use for freshest tasting coffee.

2.Adjust amount of coffee beans and grinding time to suit your own personal taste. Shorter grinding time results in coarser grinds. Longer grinding times result in finer grinds, but can overheat the coffee grinds and valuable coffee flavors can be lost. (For optimum grinding results, do not pulse top cover.)

3.KitchenAid does not recommend using this grinder to grind beans for pump espresso-type machines.

4.The Suggested Grinding Chart shows recommended grinding times at various levels for automatic drip coffee makers and French press machines.

5.A scale is provided inside the bowl for the KitchenAid recommended amount of beans to grind for 4, 8, 10, and 12 cups of coffee. Fill the bowl to your desired cup size wth 4 cups minimum or 12 cups maximum level.

Various bean blends and bean sizes can cause differences in fill level and grind times.
