19d. STONES AND BEANS
Every coffee specialty store will tell you that occasionally stones
can be found in with coffee beans. Small stones will be
processed through the burr grinder without any harm (the stone
will end up in the used coffee container).
However larger stones can block the burr grinder. The noise of
the grinder will become very loud and the grinder will block.
Before Filling Beans into the Bean Container:
• Shake your bean bag thoroughly so that a stone will fall to
the bottom of the bag.
• Before emptying the bean bag completely, check if there
are any particles that look like stones and remove them.
