• 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 settings 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 finer grind setting for Espresso. The grinding degree setting 0-20 is used as a guide value.
• For filter 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 finer the grinding degree, the longer the grinding process.
• In case of a finer 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 filter coffee

1. Insert the plug into the socket.
2. Fill the coffee bean container with coffee beans.

HINWEIS

Use whole coffee beans only.

1. Set requested grinding degree.

2. Select the desire number of cups.

3. Set the switch to

1. Place the coffee grounds container or coffee filter below the outlet.
2. Press the Start/Stop button.
3. Switch the unit off.

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 filter holder is sufficiently filled, pull it back. The grinding process 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 flavour.
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.

Tips

• 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 finer grinding degree setting for Espresso.
Choose a medium grinding degree setting for filter 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 coffee grounds have a fine feel.

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

• However, there is no "perfect grinding degree". Everyone should find his or her grinding degree according to his or her taste preferences.
• The setting of the grinding degree should also take into consideration the contact 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 depends 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.
