INTRODUCTION
Your KRUPS Chrome Touch coffee grinder allows you to grind your own coffee beans right in your own home. With such a variety of coffee beans available in supermarkets and gourmet shops, owning the Chrome Touch is sophisticated and economical. The best result, however, is that you get fresh coffee, every time!
Light roasted beans seem to be the most popular in North America, and dark roasts have been associated more with the heavier coffees, such as Espresso and Turkish. These dark roast, however, can also be brewed for “regular” coffee.
Coffee beans are also categorized as straight coffees or blends. The straight coffees consist of beans from a single area; blend consist of beans from several areas, which sometimes results in a superior coffee combination.
The best way to familiarize yourself with coffee is to purchase small quantities of several different varieties. Eventually, you will learn which beans and blends suit your personal taste. Perhaps you will soon start blending your own “house brands”!
OPERATION
■ Fill the grinding chamber (c) 1/2 to 3/4 with coffee beans (1).
■ To calculate the amount of coffee beans to use, keep in mind that whole coffee beans yield the approximate equivalent in ground coffee (i.e. 1/4 cup beans = approx. 1/4 cup ground coffee).
■ Place the lid (a) on the base and turn clockwise until firmly locked in place (2).
- Plug in the chrome Touch. To start grinding, press the power button (b) (3). The power will only stay on as long as the button is pressed.
■ The degree of fineness you desire will decide how long you should grind. For example, a coarse grind would require less grinding time than a find grind.
CAUTION
Wait until the blades have completely stopped before removing lid. Grinder should be unplugged before removing lid.
■ When grinding is complete, unplug the unit. Turn the lid couterclockwise to remove the lid and pour the ground coffee into a bowl or cannister. If you are grinding a large amount of beans, store the coffee in an airtight container.
■ The cord can be wrapped around the base of the grinder for storage (4).
COFFEE TIPS
■ Purchase coffee beans in small quantities.
■ Store coffee beans in an airtight container in the freezer.
■ Coffee beans do not need to thawed before grinding and/or brewing.
■ Large ground quantities should be stored in an airtight container and placed in your refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness.
■ Follow the recommendations of your coffeemaker brand for brewing quantities. Adjustments should be made to suit your own personal taste.

GRINDING FOR ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO
The KRUPS Chrome touch (GX 4100) is acceptable for grinding beans for boiler type espresso machines. We do not recommend using the Chrome Touch to grind beans for use with pump espresso machines. Pump espresso machines require a disc type grinder such as the KRUPS "Il Barista" ref 220 or a similar, professional style espresso grinder. This type of grinder will prevent coffee dust which can impede the flow of water through the espresso machine.
GRINDING COFFEE
Grinding time depends on how coarse or fine a grind you desire. We do not recommend grinding coffee longer than 20 seconds. Longer use will not result in a finer grind, but in overheated coffee. As a result coffee will lose its flavor.
CLEANING
Keeping your Chrome Touch clean is essential in achieving optimal taste results. Most coffee beans contain oils that may, over time, become stronger in flavor and could affect the taste of your coffee.
Be sure that grinder is unplugged before cleaning!
■ Remove all coffee after each grinding. A small soft brush or cloth is helpful in removing ground coffee from lid and blades.
■ Wipe inside of grinder lid and blades very carefully with a damp cloth.
■ Base unit can be wiped down with a damp cloth. NEVER immerse base unit in water or any other liquid!
- Lid can be washed in warm water, using a mild detergent, or be placed in the top rack of the dishwasher and used on gentle cycle.
