4. Fill the bean container (B) with coffee beans and replace the lid. The bean
container can hold up to 8 ounces of coffee beans. Note: Only coffee beans
should be filled into the bean container. Never fill any of the following into the
bean container: sugar-coated beans, syrups or other coatings, and instant coffee.
Never fill water or any other liquid into the bean container.
5. Set the grind amount selector (I) to the number of cups of coffee you want to
grind by sliding the grind amount selector (I) above the correct number. These
numbers are to be used as a guide. The amount of ground coffee varies quite a
bit depending on how coarse or fine you grind and whether you use light, dry
beans or dark, oily beans. After grinding a few times, you will find the correct
grind amount position for the amount of coffee you want to grind.
6. Set the fineness selector (C) to the desired setting (see Section "Guidelines for
Fineness Selector Settings"). CAUTION: Never change the fineness selector
setting while grinding!
7. Push and hold the on-button (J) for 2 seconds to start your Capresso grinder.
The grinder will begin grinding the coffee directly into the ground coffee container. It
will stop automatically. Attention: Beans may stick to the wall of the bean container,
preventing them from falling into the burrs. You will hear a high-pitched noise
from the motor when this happens. Gently shake the grinder so that the beans
slide down into the burrs. Note: If you need to turn the grinder off before the
grinding cycle is finished, slide the grind amount selector to the "OFF" position.
8. Be sure to unplug the appliance after every use.
Note: Coffee beans can stay in the bean container for up to 2 weeks before they
will start to lose their aroma.
Guidelines for Fineness Selector Settings
Setting For use with the following household coffee equipment:
8 to 9 French Press Coffee Makers* and Percolators
4.5 to 6 Most Espresso (non-pump) Steam/Boiler Machines
5 to 6 All Capresso Drip Coffee Makers and most other drip coffee makers,
when using GoldTone Filters
3.5 to 5 All Capresso Drip Coffee Makers and most other drip coffee makers,
when using filter paper
3.5 to 5** Capresso Pump Espresso Machines and most other pump espresso

1 to 2.5** Semi automatic and fully automatic coffee centers, with internal
pressure brew chambers
.
* 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).
** The fineness settings are approximate guidelines. When using dark, oily beans, use the higher
numbers of the recommended range; with light, dry beans, use the lowers numbers in the range.
Attention: for espresso pump machines: if your espresso brews too fast, try a lower fineness
setting. If your espresso brews too slowly, try a higher fineness setting than the ones
recommended above.
Please note: the finer the grind setting, the longer it takes to grind a certain amount of coffee.
