ABOUT GRINDING COFFEE

The proper grind gives the most flavorful cup of coffee. The grind size and amount depends on the method by which the coffee is to be brewed. Generally, the finer the grind the more quickly the coffee should be prepared. That is why coffee ground for an espresso machine extraction is much finer than coffee to be brewed in a drip system.

Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular brewing process – (For example, fine espresso grind used in a filter drip coffee machine) will result in over-extraction and bitter, pungent tasting coffee. Conversely, coffee that is too coarse for a particular brew method will result in under-extraction and weak, watery coffee. If the correct grind is used, adding more coffee simply makes a brew stronger without making it bitter.

In addition to providing a range of grind settings, coffee grinders provide a consistent grind. This is important to ensure the extraction is consistent across all of the ground coffee particles.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using the coffee grinder, wipe the housing and bean hopper with a clean damp cloth. Wash the ground coffee container and the ground coffee container lid in hot soapy water, then rinse and dry. (fig 1 - 3)

SET THE HOPPER

To remove the hopper

1. Make certain the coffee grinder is unplugged.
2. Hold down the hopper release lever located at the opposite of the grinding size markings (fig 4)
3. With your other hand, turn the hopper counter-clockwise until the unlock icon f is aligned with the arrow and lift it up. (fig 4)

To replace the hopper:

1. Make certain the top part of the conical burr is clear of coffee grind residues. If not, you can use the brush provided to clean around the top part of the burr. (fig 6)
2. Align the unlock icon on the base with the arrow on the hopper. (fig 10)
3. Hold down the hopper release lever located at the opposite of the grinding size markings (fig 8)
4. With your other hand, turn the hopper clockwise until the lock icon 🔒 is aligned with the arrow and click. (fig 9)

NOTE: If the hopper is not set properly the coffee grinder won't turn on.

NOTE: The hopper is designed with a trap door system to allow you to secure the coffee beans inside and allow you to remove the hopper from the grinder body without the mess.

SET COFFEE GRIND SIZE

1. Fit the ground coffee container (fig 9) and its lid (H and I) in their correct positions. Check that the assembly is correctly positioned in the body.
2. Open the lid of the coffee bean hopper and fill the bean hopper (fig 10) with desired whole coffee beans. Close the lid (fig 11), you can now adjust the coffee grind size.
3. Your coffee grinder has 39 grind size options. To adjust the grind size, rotate the hopper and adjust from fine to coarse depending of the type of coffee you are brewing. (fig 13)
   NOTE: Avoid adjusting the grind size during operation it will affect the coffee ground coarseness.

IMPORTANT!

For your appliance to run correctly, make certain that:

■ The lid to the coffee-bean hopper is correctly closed.

■ The ground coffee holder and its lid are correctly placed in the body of the appliance.

PRACTICAL HINTS

■ It is best to store coffee beans in a dry, cool place. Beans should be kept in an opaque, airtight container.
■ For best results, always grind coffee just prior to brewing. The coffee just prior to brewing it.
■ Selecting the correct grind size for desired brewing method will result in best in cup flavors. When experimenting with grind size, adjust only 1 or 2 grind units.
■ Use the fineness selector to adjust the grind according to the type of brewing method.
■ Generally, the quicker the brewing method (ex. espresso are extracted between 25-35 seconds), the finer the ground coffee should be.
A “medium” ground is suited for making filter drip coffee while a “fine” ground would be more suitable for making Espressos.
For the first use, we suggest that you use a standard recommended position and adjust settings according to your taste. Once you have used the appliance a few times, you will find the ideal grind setting to suit your taste and brew method.
■ Do not store the coffee ground in the coffee container over 24 hours.
■ For Coffee beans, we recommend to always store coffee in a air-tight and cool area.

Cups Ratio Guideline

■ The more cups you select, the longer the appliance will run.

Cups 1 2 3 4	5 6 7 8	9 10	11 12
Coffee (g): 8	16 24	32 40	48 56	6	4 72	8	0 88	9	6
