HINTS & TIPS
• Fresh grinds are the key to making coffee
with more flavor and body.
• Coffee flavor and strength is a personal
preference. Vary the type of coffee
beans, amount of coffee and fineness of
grind to achieve the flavor you prefer.
• Grinding times will vary depending on
amount and grind fineness.
• To ensure optimal grinding performance,
allow Coffee Grinder to cool for at least
2 minutes between uses.
• Use freshly roasted coffee beans,
preferably with a ‘roasted on’ date.
• Store coffee beans in a dark, cool and
dry place. Vacuum seal if possible.
• Buy coffee beans in small batches
to reduce the storage time and store
no more than one week’s supply at
any time.
• Only grind the amount of coffee you will
use for preparing coffee within the next
hour. Ground coffee looses its aroma and
flavor very fast and attracts other odors.
For best results, grind beans immediately
before brewing.
OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE CONICAL BURR GRINDER™ OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE CONICAL BURR GRINDER™
• Do not store beans in the Bean Hopper
for a prolonged period.
• When storing the Grinder, run the grinder
with an empty hopper to clear the Grind
Outlet of any beans.
• Run grinder for 2 seconds before each
use for maximum freshness.
• Clean the Bean Hopper and Conical
Burrs regularly.
• The Conical Burr Grinder will not grind
food that is sticky or extremely hard
ie. chocolate, cheese, whole nutmeg,
candied fruits, etc.
• The Conical Burr Grinder will not make
pastes of any fruits, seeds or herbs
ie. curry pastes, nut batters.
• For French Press: 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).
• Dark, oily beans: Grind dark oily beans
one or two settings coarser than medium
or light brown beans. On the finest
settings, it is possible that oil residue
from dark, oily beans can clog the
Grind Outlet.

COFFEE CHART
• Clogging and Overflow: If your grinder
cannot process the water through
the grounds, overflow or clogging
might occur. Choose a coarser grind
size setting.
ESPRESSO GRIND
• When using espresso pump machines
and automatic coffee centers - if your
coffee or espresso brews too fast, try a
finer grind size setting. If your coffee or
espresso brews too slow, try a coarser
grind size setting.
• When the grind is too fine (feels powdery
like flour and tends to clump together
when compressed), there is no space
between the grinds for water to pass
through. Not only can this block the
Dual Wall Filter, but the espresso will
be over-extracted, dark and bitter.
• When the grind is too coarse (feels
like granulated sugar), water will pass
through the grinds too quickly, resulting
in espresso that is under-extracted and
lacking flavor.
• The perfect espresso grind will produce
a layer of caramel colored crema that
floats on top of the espresso following
extraction. The grind should feels like
fine sand. When rubbed between your
fingertips it will slightly stain them while
keeping its granular consistency.
WHEN THE COFFEE GRINDER
IS SWITCHED OFF, PARTIALLY
GROUND COFFEE BEANS
REMAIN BETWEEN THE
GRINDING BURRS.
THE GRIND ADJUSTMENT IN
THE FINE DIRECTION SHOULD
ALWAYS BE MADE WITH
THE COFFEE GRINDER IN
OPERATION.
