• Place the coffee bean container on the unit.

• Press the coffee bean container down and turn clockwise (approx. 30 deg.).

• Open the outlet of the coffee bean container by using the sliding closure. Operation Setting of degree of grinding The grain size of the coffee grounds can be varied by means of the different set- tings of the grinding degree. Precise data on the grinding degree cannot be given as many different factors play a role, such as type of coffee / bean, room temperature, personal taste, etcetera.

• Select a ner grind setting for Espresso. The grinding degree setting 0-20 is used as a guide value.

• For lter coffee, select a medium grind setting. The recommended value is the 20-60 grind setting.

• Select a coarse grind setting for French Press. Grinding degree setting 60-140 is used as a guide value. Note:

• The ner the grinding degree, the longer the grinding process.

• In case of a ner grinding degree, the coffee can stick together in the grinding mechanism.

• If the grinding mechanism blocks, cautiously tap on the coffee bean container. Grinding coffee for lter coffee

1. Insert the plug into the socket.

2. Fill the coffee bean container with coffee beans.

Use whole coffee beans only.

3. Set requested grinding degree.

4. Select the desire number of cups.22

5. Set the switch to

6. Place the coffee grounds container or coffee lter below the outlet.

9. Press the Start/Stop button.

10. Switch the unit off.

Grinding coffee directly into the lter holder

1. Use the large or the small lter holder retainer as requested.

2. Set requested grinding degree.

3. Hold the group handle into the group handle bracket.

4. Set the switch to

5. Press the group handle against the contact switch. The grinding process will

start automatically.

6. As soon as the lter holder is sufciently lled, pull it back. The grinding pro-

cess will stop automatically. Cleaning Old coffee remaining in the unit may lead to oxidation. This affects the result of the preparation and an unpleasant and unpalatable taste may develop. The unit should always be in a well-kept condition in order to ensure a perfect result at all times. Depending on the frequency of use, clean the unit at least once a week. Before cleaning, remove the power plug.

1. Use a soft and moist cloth to clean the outer surfaces of the unit. Use a mild

detergent in case of heavy soiling.

2. Close the outlet of the coffee bean container by using the sliding closure. Turn

the coffee bean container anti-clockwise and remove it.

3. Place the unused beans in an airtight container so keep the avour.

4. Clean the coffee bean container and the coffee grounds container in warm

water using a little washing-up liquid.

5. Afterwards, dry the containers well.

Cleaning the grinding mechanism

• Remove the power plug.

• Remove the coffee bean container as described in the chapter titled “Cleaning”.

• Turn the grinding ring to the coarsest degree.

• Turn the upper grinding mechanism anti-clockwise and remove it.

• Clean the lower and upper grinding mechanism with the brush enclosed.

• Place the upper grinding mechanism back in again and turn it clockwise until it is tight.

• Place the coffee bean container on the unit again.

• Turn the grinding ring to the requested grinding degree.23

• Precise recommendations for grinding degree settings cannot be provided due to various factors. ➞ Beans / types of beans react differently (oily, old, freshly ground et cetera). ➞ The personal taste plays a role as well. ➞ Choose a ner grinding degree setting for Espresso. ➞ Choose a medium grinding degree setting for lter coffee. ➞ Choose a coarse grinding degree setting for French Press. ➞ Room temperature / air humidity have an effect on the coffee beans.

• The following serves as standard values: When the correct setting of degree of grinding has been made, the coffee grounds start clumping slightly. Smaller to medium-sized balls are formed which spread again when dropping out. The cof- fee grounds have a ne feel.

• It is very important to nd the right grinding degree for preparing coffee (ex- traction time). In case of a wrong grinding degree, the coffee cannot be extract- ed in an ideal way and is then either under or over extracted.

• However, there is no “perfect grinding degree”. Everyone should nd his or her grinding degree according to his or her taste preferences.

• The setting of the grinding degree should also take into consideration the con- tact pressure and the dosage as well as the roasting degree of the bean used. Some test grinds are necessary here. For this reason the contact pressure and the dosage should be kept constant; the grinding degree should be attuned.

• It may happen that the grinding degree has to be corrected after some time because the quality, the moisture content and the freshness of the bean de- pends very much on the surroundings. This can be corrected quickly by trying out and adapting the grinding degree and/or contact pressure if the Espresso runs into the cup too quickly or too slowly, for example.
