The wide-range of 24 grind settings allows for precision adjustment. The coffee maker has complete control of the particle size and ultimately the quality of the resulting brew.

Some things to remember when using the coffee grinder;

The smaller the particle size the longer it will take to grind.

When using the finer settings the coffee may become stuck, we recommend tapping on the lid of the bean hopper to dislodge any clumps of coffee blocking the flow.

After long periods of using the finer settings we recommend removing the upper burr and sweeping away any residual coffee to avoid clogging. See the Care and Cleaning section on page 11 for more details.

Tips

1.Select the correct grind for the brewing method you are using. 24 grind settings are available to ensure precision adjustment. Setting 1 produces the finest grind, 12 to 16 are medium grinds appropriate for espresso coffee makers, and 24 is the coarsest grind you can achieve. Experiment with the grind settings to achieve the ideal brew that best suits your tastes.

2.For drip filter coffee machines, a good starting point is to use 8 grams (1 scoop)

of coffee for every 4 cups of brew water as measured with the carafe. Finer grinds usually require less coffee, but using too fine a grind will result in a brew that is bitter in flavour.

3.For those that prefer weaker coffee, continue to use the recommended amount of ground coffee and then dilute the resulting brew with fresh hot water. Doing this will maximise flavour and minimise bitterness.

4.Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular brewing process will result in over-extraction and the coffee will taste bitter. On the other hand, coffee that is too coarse for a particular brewing method will result in under-extraction and the coffee will be thin and poor in flavour.

5.Once coffee is ground it quickly loses its flavour and aroma. For the best results we recommend you grind beans immediately prior to brewing.

6.Buy fresh whole coffee beans weekly.

7.To retain freshness, store whole coffee beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place. It is not recommended that you store beans in the grinder’s bean hopper for a prolonged period.

8.To ensure the best results from the coffee grinder clean the bean hopper and conical burrs regularly.
