The wide-range of 24 grind settings allows
for precision adjustment. The coffee maker
has complete control of the particle size and
ultimately the quality of the resulting brew.
Some things to remember when using the
coffee grinder;
• The smaller the particle size the longer it
will take to grind.
• When using the finer settings the coffee
may become stuck, we recommend tapping
on the lid of the bean hopper to dislodge
any clumps of coffee blocking the flow.
• After long periods of using the finer
settings we recommend removing the
upper burr and sweeping away any residual
coffee to avoid clogging. See the Care
and Cleaning section on page 11 for more
details.
Tips
1. Select the correct grind for the brewing
method you are using. 24 grind settings
are available to ensure precision
adjustment. Setting 1 produces the
finest grind, 12 to 16 are medium grinds
appropriate for espresso coffee makers, and
24 is the coarsest grind you can achieve.
Experiment with the grind settings to
achieve the ideal brew that best suits your
tastes.
2. For drip filter coffee machines, a good
starting point is to use
8 grams (1 scoop)
of coffee for every 4 cups of brew water
as measured with the carafe. Finer grinds
usually require less coffee, but using too
fine a grind will result in a brew that is
bitter in flavour.
3. For those that prefer weaker coffee,
continue to use the recommended amount
of ground coffee and then dilute the
resulting brew with fresh hot water. Doing
this will maximise flavour and minimise
bitterness.
4. Coffee that is ground too fine for a
particular brewing process will result in
over-extraction and the coffee will taste
bitter. On the other hand, coffee that is too
coarse for a particular brewing method will
result in under-extraction and the coffee
will be thin and poor in flavour.
5. Once coffee is ground it quickly loses its
flavour and aroma. For the best results we
recommend you grind beans immediately
prior to brewing.
6. Buy fresh whole coffee beans weekly.
7. To retain freshness, store whole coffee
beans in an airtight container in a cool,
dark, dry place. It is not recommended
that you store beans in the grinder’s bean
hopper for a prolonged period.
8. To ensure the best results from the coffee
grinder clean the bean hopper and conical
burrs regularly.
