turn the OPERATING Knob to OFF.
The ground coffee is ready for
brewing. Empty the coffee collector
into the brewing filter.
(Method 2) Automatic Grind - If
the hopper has sufficient amount
of coffee beans, the OPERATING
Knob can be set to automatically
grind the desired amount of coffee
for brewing. To determine the
correct grind setting for your taste,
some experimenting may be
required. Begin by setting the
OPERATING Knob for “8 CUPS”.
If this proves to be too weak,
increase the setting (toward 12) for
next grind. Conversely, if the coffee
is too strong, reduce the setting
(toward 4). When the grind is
finished, the unit automatically
shuts off. Once the right setting is
obtained, coffee results are very
repeatable.
Many factors affect the output of
ground coffee; the bean itself, the
type of roast, and the size of the
grind. A change in humidity also
affects the output. Since humid
conditions swell the coffee bean,
less weight is ground. You should
experiment with different settings
and grinds until the results are
perfected to your taste.
Chaff in coffee - Chaff is the
parchment or hull portion of the
coffee bean found in the cavity
which is released during the
grinding process (See illustration
below). Chaff seen in the ground
coffee does not have any adverse
effects on coffee flavor. Chaff results
from small amounts of the coffee
bean hull still on the bean when
ground. Some coffee beans yield a
higher level of chaff than others.
