Adjusting the grind setting
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 on page 11 for
more details.
Tips
1. 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.
2. For drip filter coffee machines, a good
starting point is to use 8 grams (1 scoop)
of coffee for every 4 cups 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Once coffee is ground it quickly loses
its flavour and aroma. For the best
results we recommend you grind beans
immediately prior to brewing.
6. Buy fresh whole coffee beans weekly.
7. Coffee beans have the best flavour
between 5 - 20 days after roasting.
8. 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.
9. To ensure the best results from the
coffee grinder clean the bean hopper
and conical burrs regularly.
