DESCRIPTION

1 Bean hopper lid

2 250g bean hopper

The 250g capacity bean hopper has a shutter release mechanism for easy removal and preventing accidental spills.

It allows the user to transfer any un-used beans to an ideal storage unit to preserve freshness.

3 Burr shield

4 Grind adjustment collar

Large and easy to use, the collar has a wide range of 24 grind settings. The coffee maker can select a fine grind to suit commercial espresso or adjust the setting for other brewing styles - from Turkish to plunger.

With such precise settings the user controls the particle size and ultimately the quality of the brew.

5 Ground coffee container lid

6 Ground coffee container

7 Group handle locator

7a Commercial size group handle locator

7b Domestic size group handle locator

8 Preparation mat

Positioned under the grinding spout the preparation mat is ideal for catching loose coffee grinds while filling directly into the group handle. The mat can also be used on the bench as a tamping pad.

9 Rubber feet

The non-slip rubber feet ensure the grinder remains stable and prevents slipping on the bench top during use.

10 Italian conical burrs

Italian designed and manufactured, the metal conical burr design achieves excellent grind consistency and minimises heat transfer to the coffee due to the slowly rotating burrs.

11 Grinding spout

12 Die-cast metal housing

Built to last, the heavy-duty die-cast metal body encases a powerful motor, supported by a 5 year guarantee and provides a stable base for the grinder.

13 Grind on demand button

Position the group handle into the group handle locator, push against the button and freshly ground coffee will flow directly into the basket, pull the handle away and grinding will stop.

14 Cord wrap

Cord wraps away to keep bench top clean.

15 Operation switch

Switch to 'On' to grind continuous quantities directly into the storage container, 'Off' to stop or alternatively switch to 'Auto' for grinding directly into the group handle.

16 Silicon spout cover

Simply slide the spout cover onto the grinder spout. This minimises the drop of coffee from the grinder spout to the coffee filter, thus reducing coffee waste.

17 Burr cleaning brush

Strong bristles help sweep out grinds from the burrs.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

MAIN FUNCTIONS

Slow speed grinding

The combination of a powerful gear-driven motor and conical burr design delivers a slow speed grinding process. This minimises the heat transferred to the coffee, protecting its aromatic profile.

Dual mode settings

For convenience there are two methods of operation - the 'Auto' function for grinding coffee as it's required or 'On' for grinding continuous quantities directly into the storage container.

Grind On Demand

As with commercial bar grinders, the 'Auto' function allows coffee beans to be freshly ground directly into the group handle on demand as required by the coffee maker, providing complete dosing control and most importantly a fresh grind without loss of aroma and flavour.

OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

Before using the coffee grinder, wipe the base exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the bean hopper, hopper lid and ground coffee container in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry.

Important: Do not immerse the burrs in water or any other liquid. Do not place any parts of the coffee grinder in the dishwasher.

Place the coffee grinder on a dry, level surface.
To attach the bean hopper, position bean hopper onto the top of the motor base, push down and turn clockwise. (fig. 1).
■Fill the bean hopper with coffee beans.

Tip: Remember to keep the hopper full at all times. Having an even weight bearing down on the burrs is important to ensure a consistent grind.

This coffee grinder is intended to grind whole coffee beans only.
Place the hopper lid onto the bean hopper.
■Select the grind by turning the grind adjustment collar to the desired setting. (fig. 2).
Plug the power cord into a 120V AC power outlet and switch the power on.
Refer to the grind setting table on page 11 to assist you in selecting the correct grind level for the desired brewing method.

FOR G R I N D I N G CONTINUOUS QUANTITIES

• Remove the lid from the ground coffee container and slide onto the preparation mat. The coffee container will fit comfortably into the domestic size group handle locator.(fig. 3).
  To grind coffee, flip the switch to the 'On' position. (fig. 4).
  ■ When the desired amount of coffee has been ground, flip the switch to the 'Off' position. Remove the coffee container and scoop out the ground coffee.

FOR G R I N D I N G INTO THE GROU P H A N D L E

Position the group handle into the group handle locator. (fig. 5).

Important: There are two group handle locators provided: a smaller size to fit domestic handles and a larger size for commercial handles.

■Flip the switch to the 'Auto' position. (fig. 6).
To grind coffee, press the group handle against the button located in the centre of the group handle locator. (fig. 7).
■ When the basket is full, pull the group handle off the button. Collapse the coffee in the basket by tapping

it on the bench and repeat until the desired amount of coffee has been ground.

Note: Foreign objects like stones or twigs can sometimes be found in whole bean coffee and can cause the coffee grinder to jam. Should this occur refer to the Care and Cleaning section as these objects need to be removed immediately.

ADJUSTING THE GRIND SETTING

Grind setting table

SETTING BREWING METHOD

2-6 Turkish

12-16 Espresso

12-16 Stove Top

20-23 Drip Filter

20-23 Plunger

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 for more details.

Tips:

■ 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.
For drip filter coffee machines, a good starting point is to use 8 grams (1 scoop) of coffee for every cup 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.
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.
■ 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.
Once coffee is ground it quickly loses its flavour and aroma. For the best results we recommend you grind beans immediately prior to brewing.
■Buy fresh whole coffee beans weekly.
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.
To ensure the best results from the coffee grinder clean the bean hopper and conical burrs regularly.

CARE AND CLEANING

Important:

Spots and marks on the surface of the burrs are part of the hardening process. These marks do not affect the performance of the grinder or the taste of the coffee.
■ Ensure the coffee grinder is switched off and unplugged from the power outlet prior to cleaning.
■Do not immerse the motor base of the coffee grinder in water.
■Do not immerse any part of the burr assembly in water or any other liquid.
■Do not place any parts of the coffee grinder in the dishwasher.
■Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

CLEANING THE MOTOR BASE, BEAN HOPPER AND COFFEE CONTAINER

■Remove the bean hopper from the motor base push down and turn anti-clockwise and store unused beans in an airtight container to preserve their freshness. (fig. 8).
■Wipe the motor base exterior with a damp cloth and dry.
■Wash the bean hopper and coffee container in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry.

CLEANING THE BURRS

If the coffee grinder is used frequently (every day), the burrs need to be cleaned every three weeks to ensure best performance of the coffee grinder. Regular cleaning helps the burrs achieve consistent grinding results, which is especially important when grinding coffee for espresso.

1. Ensure the coffee grinder is switched off and unplugged from the power outlet. Remove the bean hopper from the motor base, push down and turn anti-clockwise. (fig. 8).
2. To remove the top burr turn the grind adjustment collar in an anti-clockwise direction until it stops. (fig. 9).

Important:

The top burr can only be removed when the graphic arrow on the grind adjustment collar is aligned with the arrow on the motor base.

1. Press and hold down the 'UNLOCK' button at the rear of the motor base and with the other hand turn the grind adjustment collar anti-clockwise until the graphic arrow on the collar is aligned with the arrow on the motor base. (fig. 10).
2. Lift out the top burr from the grind adjustment collar using the handle. (fig. 11). Clean using the burr-cleaning brush.
3. Lift the grind adjustment collar away from the motor base and clean with the brush. (fig. 12).
4. Clean the bottom burr using the burrcleaning brush. (fig. 13).
5. Once both burrs are cleaned, return the grind adjustment collar to its position in the motor base.
6. With the grind adjustment collar in hand align the arrow on the collar with the arrow on the rear of the motor base, press down.
7. Replace the top burr back into position in the grind adjustment collar and turn clockwise to the desired grind setting.

ADJUSTING THE BURRS FOR WEAR

The conical burrs are made of tool hardened steel for extra long life. However after prolonged use the burrs will require adjustment to compensate for wear. A sign of this is when the grinds are not as fine as they used to be, check by rubbing some of the grinds between two fingers or for espresso the extraction will also show signs that the grind needs adjusting.

REPLACING THE BURRS

To inquire about having the burrs replaced contact nearest Krups Service Center.
