HOW TO ADJUST THE GRIND SIZE
The coffee grinder has 31 grind-size options. To adjust the grind size, rotate the
ring just under the hopper, and select the appropriate grind for the type of
coffee you’re making.
• A ner grind exposes more surface to the water and extracts avor more
rapidly, which is appropriate for a quick-brew method like espresso.
• A coarser grind, which exposes little surface, is appropriate for the longer
brewing cycle of French press.
When the beans are ground too nely for a particular brewing method (for instance,
an espresso grind used in a drip coffee machine), the resulting coffee will taste too
bitter and strong. Conversely, when too coarse a grind is selected, the resulting
coffee tastes too weak and watery.
Use the chart below to choose your grind size.
HOW TO GRIND COFFEE
A burr grinder is made up of two revolving abrasive surfaces (aka burrs), which grind
beans a few at a time. Compared with a blade grinder, a burr grinder grinds to a more
uniform size, giving you more control over the grind and better avor. There are two
ways to grind your coffee: by setting the time and letting the grinder count down, or
by using the pulse feature to grind exactly how much you need.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug in the grinder.
2. Be sure the rubber mat is in place. The mat should be positioned under the ground
coffee container to lift it closer to the dispensing grounds to prevent yaways.
3. Put the lid on the ground coffee container and slide it into place on top of the mat.
4. Fill the hopper with beans (it can hold just about 10 ounces). Replace the lid.
5. Select your desired grind size. It may take some experimenting to determine
your exact preferred grind size as well as the grind time.
6. Set the grind time. The minimum (and default) grind time is 5 seconds, and the
maximum is 40 seconds. To set the grind time, press the +5 button until the
desired time is reached. Alternatively, if you wish to set the grind time to 40
seconds, simply press the MAX button. If you want to reduce the set time, simply
loop past 40 to get back to 5 seconds.
7. Press the START/STOP button. The timer will count down as the unit grinds.
8. You may adjust the grind time as needed during grinding. If you want to end
grinding early, press START/STOP again. If you want to add more time while the
unit is grinding, press the +5 button to add 5 more seconds. NOTE: You can add
5 seconds only once during a grinding cycle, and if the time started at 40 seconds,
you must wait until it counts down to at least 35 seconds to add more time.
9. When the timer ends, the grinder will stop automatically. Before removing the
ground coffee container, tap the container a few times. This will relieve some
of the static electricity buildup that occurs during grinding and reduce yaway
grounds when you remove the container.
10. After grinding, the unit will enter standby mode. If you wish to grind more coffee,
empty the ground coffee container rst. To protect the motor from overheating,
the unit powers off after running 3 minutes continuously.
11. After 3 minutes in standby mode, the unit will go to sleep. Press the START/STOP
button to return to standby mode.
