and use as described in the ground coffee funnel (chapter 11).
Please note: If you like flavored coffees we recommend to add
flavors to your coffee after brewing. This way you can use your
regular coffee beans in the bean container. Adding the flavors
after brewing lets you control the intensity much better than with
pre-flavored coffee. Your local coffee store typically carries a
variety of flavors.
Open the Cover Lid (Fig. 5).
• Remove the Aroma Protection Lid (Fig. 6).
Make sure the bean container is empty and clean. Fill beans
into the bean container (Fig. 7).
Frozen Beans: Thaw 3 to 4 hours before adding to bean
container. This prevents moisture from seeping into the grinder.
Oily Beans: Beans with an oily surface tend to stick together.
This may prevent a continuous flow of beans from the bean
container into the burrs. As a result the grinder does not grind
enough coffee and you might get weak or no coffee at all.
Stir the beans in the bean container just before grinding.
Alternatively, you can also pour the beans in an open bowl and
let them sit for about 5 hours. The oils will evaporate (this will
not change the taste of your coffee). Then fill the beans into the
bean grinder. Now beans will feed into the burrs more easily.
