operation.
place it in the correct position and adjust the timer setting to avoid overfilling the
ground coffee chamber before resuming operation.
NOTE: Avoid overfilling the ground coffee chamber. This can cause the unit motor to
overheat and break a thermal fuse inside the mill, possibly damaging the unit
permanently.
NOTE: If all Bean Hopper and Grinding Chamber parts are not tightly in place correctly, the
safety switches within the machine will not allow the grinder to work. You MUST
have all parts in place to safely use the Burr Mill.
HELPFUL GRINDING HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
You may customize the above bean quantity recommendations as you familiarize yourself
with your new MR. COFFEE

Burr Mill, but always bear in mind the following:
1. Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic drip coffee maker
might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or the brew basket. Also, the taste of
the coffee might be stronger than desired. If this happens, use less coffee grounds or
change the grind setting to medium or to whichever setting is necessary to obtain the
desired result.
2. Using coarser grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic drip coffee
maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or the brew basket. Also, the
taste of the coffee might be weaker than desired. If this happens, use more coffee
grounds to obtain the desired result. For a regular or stronger cup of coffee, adjust the
grind setting to a medium to fine setting.
3. When a finer setting is required to brew espresso or cappuccino, please grind the
amount of coffee grounds recommended by your product manufacturer.

Espresso products:
- Set the Burr Mill to Fine grind.
- For 2 oz. of espresso coffee, 2 tsp (0.6 tbsp) of fine grind are required. Set the
Timer to 3 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind the finer grounds
required.
- For 4 oz. of espresso coffee, 4 tsp (1.3 tbsp) of fine grind are required. Set the
Timer to 5 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind the finer grounds
required.
brewed espresso coffee, because the optimum coffee extraction is not achieved. If
you like a strong cup of espresso, make sure the grind setting is fine.
4. When a coarser setting is required to brew coffee manually, in a percolator or using
a French Press, grind the amount of coffee grounds recommended by your product
manufacturer.

recommendation:
- Set the Burr Mill to a coarse grind setting.
- Set the timer to 8-10 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind enough
coffee for 12 cups of brewed coffee.
- Given that coarse grounds will take up more volume, always set the timer for 2-4
cups less than the amount desired.
NOTE: Remember, you can customize the recommendations above as you discover which
setting best meets your personal coffee-making preference. As in the case of
automatic drip coffee makers,
- Using an excessive amount of coffee grounds for brewing coffee in a percolator
might cause an overflow of the percolator brew basket.
- Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee manually in a percolator, or
using a French Press, might cause an overflow of the percolator brew basket and/
or the taste of the coffee might be stronger than desired. If you want a regular or
weaker cup of coffee, adjust the grind setting to a medium to coarse setting.
5. Use only coffee beans in this appliance.
6. The ground coffee chamber and its lid must always be in place when using this
appliance.
7. Do not use the finest setting when grinding coffee for your automatic drip
coffeemaker. The finer grounds could cause the coffee basket to overflow.
8. To avoid overheating the motor, do not grind more than 2 full whole bean hoppers or
2 full 12-cup cycles without a break. Allow the motor to cool to room temperature at
least 2 minutes between cycles.
9. If the grinder stops working after running consecutive cycles, unplug the grinder from
the wall outlet and allow it to cool for at least an hour. Then plug grinder back in and
use as needed.
10. Flavored coffee beans will gum up the burrs and leave an oily residue when stored in
the whole bean hopper for long periods of time.
