Helpful Hints:
• For espresso pump machines: If your coffee or espresso brews too fast,
try finer settings. If your espresso brews too slow, try coarser settings.
• For French Press: Please follow the instructions of your French Press
coffee maker (after pouring water over the ground coffee, stir thoroughly
to prevent the ground coffee from clogging).
• Dark, oily beans: Grind dark oily beans one or two steps coarser than
medium or light brown beans. In the finest settings it is possible that
oil residue of dark, oily beans clog the feeder channel (See chapter 5
CLEANING).
• Clogging and Overflow: If your coffee making equipment cannot
process the water through the grounds, overflow or clogging might
occur. Choose a coarser grind setting.
5. CLEANING
1. Always unplug the grinder before cleaning.
2. Coffee oils can deposit inside the grinding chamber and become
rancid. Clean the grinding chamber daily (Fig. 6).
3. Clean the upper and lower burr with the brush.
4. Check the feeder channel (Fig. 8) for coffee build up and use the
small brush to push any build up into the ground coffee container.
5. Wipe housing with a soft damp cloth and make sure that all parts
are completely dry before next use.
Important:
Never pour water or any other liquid into the grinder.
Please note:
Dark oily beans require you to clean the grinding
chamber more often than medium roasted, non-oily beans.
