3. If a finer setting is required to brew espresso or cappuccino, please grind
the amount of coffee grounds recommended by your product manufac-
turer.
a. For Oster
®
Espresso products:
1) Set the burr mill to Fine grind
2) For 2 oz. of espresso coffee, 2 tsp (0.6 tbsp) of fine grind are
required. Set the Timer to 3 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough
time to grind the finer grounds required.
3) For 4 oz. of espresso coffee, 4 tsp (1.3 tsp) of fine grind are required.
Set the Timer to 5 cups, this will keep the unit On enough time to
grind the finer grounds required.
b. Using improper medium or coarse coffee grinding settings might affect
the taste of the brewed espresso coffee, because the optimum coffee
extraction is not achieved. If you like a strong cup of espresso, make
sure the grind setting is fine.
4. If a coarser setting is required to brew coffee manually, in a percolator
or using a coffee press, grind the amount of coffee grounds recommend-
ed by your product manufacturer.
a. The Oster
®
division recommends that you:
1) Set the burr mill to a coarse grind setting.
2) Set the Timer to 8-10 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to
grind enough coffee for 12 cups of brewed coffee.
3) Given that coarse grounds will take up more volume, always set the
timer for 2-4 cups less than the amount desired.
b. Remember, you can customize the recommendations above as you dis-
cover which setting best meets your personal coffee-making preference.
As in the case of automatic drip coffee makers,
1) Using an excessive amount of coffee grounds for brewing coffee in a
percolator might cause an overflow of the percolator brew basket.
2) Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee manually in a
percolator, or using a coffee press, might cause an overflow of the
percolator brew basket and/or the taste of the coffee might be
stronger than desired. If you want a regular or weaker cup of coffee,
adjust the grind setting to a medium to coarse setting.
