Frequently Asked Questions - BCG450XL BREVILLE

How to clean the BCG450XL coffee grinder?

Remove the bean hopper, lid, and grounds container, then wash them in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the stainless steel housing with a soft, damp cloth. Never immerse the appliance, cord, or plug in water.

How to adjust the grind setting on the BCG450XL?

Rotate the bean hopper to align the white mark on the front panel with the desired grind type: COARSE (percolator), MEDIUM (French press), FINE (filter), EXTRA FINE (espresso), or SUPER FINE (Turkish coffee).

The grinder won't start, what should I do?

Check that the bean hopper and lid are properly locked in place. Ensure the appliance is plugged into a 110-120V outlet and the timer dial is set to a duration. Press the START button.

Can I grind something other than coffee?

The appliance can grind spices, but is not suitable for sticky or very hard foods like chocolate, cheese, whole nutmeg, or candied fruit. It also cannot prepare fruit pastes, seeds, or herbs.

How to prevent grounds from sticking to the container?

Gently tap the side of the appliance above the grounds container after use to dislodge any residue. Make sure the container is clean and dry before each use.

What is the recommended maximum grinding time?

Do not operate the appliance for more than 2 minutes at a time. Let it cool for at least 2 minutes between uses, and 10 to 15 minutes after extended use.

How to store the power cord?

Wrap the cord in the storage space provided under the appliance.

What if the grind is too fine or too coarse?

For espresso, the grind should be fine but not powdery. If water does not pass through, it is too fine. If water passes too quickly, it is too coarse. Adjust the grind setting and try different bean types.

How to clean the conical burr?

Remove the conical burr by pulling on the black plastic ring, then wipe it with a damp cloth to remove excess protective oil. Replace it before use.

Before first use, remove any promotional stickers or packaging material attached to your coffee grinder.

1. Remove the Bean Container, Bean Container Lid and Ground Coffee Container and wash in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Before each use, ensure Grinding Chamber and Ground Coffee Container are clean and empty.
2. Remove the Burr Grinding inside the Grinding Chamber by gripping the small inner black plastic frame and pulling out the top ring.
3. Using a soft cloth, wipe off any excess protecting oil from the Burr Grinding and place it back into the Grinding Chamber.
4. Place the Bean Container into the Grinding Chamber so the 'ALIGN' arrow on the Bean Container aligns with the 'ALIGN' arrow on top left-hand side of the Grinding. Turn the Bean Container clockwise to lock into position.
5. Measure the desired quantity of whole coffee beans or spices directly into the Bean Container and cover with Bean Container lid.
6. Plug the Grinding into a 110v power outlet.
7. To select the desired fineness of grind, rotate the Bean Container and align the white marker on the front panel of the Grinding with one of the following settings:

COARSE -Percolator

MEDIUM - French Press

FINE -Filter

EXTRA FINE -Espresso

SUPER FINE - Turkish

NOTE:

In order to remove any excess protecting oils from the Burr Grinding, it is necessary to grind 1.75 oz (50g) of coffee beans on the Super Fine (Turkish) setting. Discard this initial ground coffee.

1. Rotate the Timer Selector Dial to select the desired grinding time.
2. Press the 'START' button on the front of the Grinding to begin grinding. The Coffee Grinding will begin grinding the coffee/spices directly into the Ground Coffee Container and will stop automatically when grinding is complete. To stop the grinding cycle at any time, push the 'START' button again. If the 'START' button is pressed again, the grinder will start from the beginning of the timed cycle.
3. Remove the plug from the power outlet.
4. Gently tap the side of the Grinding, above the Ground Coffee Container, so that any grinds remaining in the release chute are released into the Ground Coffee Container.
5. Remove the Bean Container, Bean Container Lid and Ground Coffee Container and wash in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
6. Wipe the Grinding Chamber with a soft dry cloth and replace the Bean Container, Bean Container Lid and Ground Coffee Container back into position.
7. Rewind the power cord into the cord storage area located under the Grinding base.

HANDY HINTS

• For best flavor, grind coffee beans in an airtight container.
• Grind coffee beans immediately before brewing.
• Grinding times will vary depending on amount and grind fineness.
• To ensure optimal grinding performance, allow Coffee Grinding to cool for at least 2 minutes between uses.
• Coffee flavor and strength is a personal preference. Vary the type of coffee beans, amount of coffee and fineness of grind to find the flavor you prefer.
• The Conical Burr Grinding will not grind food that is sticky or extremely hard ie. chocolate, cheese, whole nutmeg, candied fruits, etc.
• The Conical Burr Grinding will not make pastes of any fruits, seeds or herbs ie. curry pastes, nut batters.

The Grind (for espresso machines)

• When the grind is too fine (feels powdery like flour and tends to clump together when compressed), there is no space between the grinds for water to pass through. Not only can this block the Dual Wall Filter, but the espresso will be over-extracted, dark and bitter.
• When the grind is too coarse (feels like granulated sugar), water will pass through the grinds too quickly, resulting in espresso that is under-extracted and lacking flavor.
• The perfect espresso grind will produce a layer of caramel coloredcrema that floats on top of the espresso following extraction. The grind should feels like fine sand. When rubbed between your fingertips it will slightly stain them while keeping its granular consistency.

CARE & CLEANING BREVILLE CONICAL BURR GRINDER ™

Do not immerse the Grinding, power cord or power plug in water or any other liquid.

Do not fill the Grinding Chamber with water or any other liquid.

1. Unplug the Grinding from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Remove the Bean Container by turning counterclockwise until the 'ALIGN' arrow on the Bean Container aligns with the 'ALIGN' arrow on top left-hand side of the Grinding, then lift straight up.
3. Remove the Ground Coffee Container by pulling out from the left-hand side of the Coffee Grinding.
4. The Removable Ground Coffee Container, Bean Container and Lid should be washed in warm soapy water, rinsed and dried thoroughly.
5. Wipe the stainless steel housing of the Grinding with a soft, damp cloth. Polish with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasives as these may scratch the surface.
