between 5-20 days after the ‘Roasted On’ date.
• Buy coffee (beans or powder) in small batches to reduce the storage time.
• Store coffee beans or ground coffee on a cool, dark place in a completely dry
container or air-tight bag. Vacuum seal, if possible.
• Essential components of flavours evaporate quite easily from coffee beans and
your coffee gets a stale taste. Therefore, only fill the proper amount of coffee
beans into the bean hopper that will be consumed within a few days. Immedi-
ately after filling, close the bean hopper correctly via the hopper lid.
• Dispose of the used coffee powder in time after each usage. Coffee powder
cannot be re-used. Additionally, do not leave any used coffee powder in the
appliance, to avoid an unpleasant odour and mouldering.
• Do not leave coffee beans go off in the bean hopper. If you did not consume
the beans in the bean hopper within a few days, you should empty the bean
hopper, and fill the bean hopper with new, fresh coffee beans before starting
the next brewing cycle (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’).
• Always keep your coffee beans completely dry. Humid coffee beans could cau-
se mouldering, build stubborn crusts within the grinder and/or block the grinder,
thus even damaging the grinder. The unpleasant flavour of your coffee will be a
minor problem with this.
SETTINGS OF THE GRINDER
The grinder of the COFFEE MACHINE GRIND & BREW PRO THERMO offers 3
adjustable parameters: grind size, number of cups, and strength. Using the appro-
priate settings, you get the basic conditions for your perfect coffee delight.
• Any changes of the grind size (coarse or fine) and/or the ratio of amounts of
coffee powder and water affect the taste of your coffee significantly (refer to the
following section also).
• When using pre-ground coffee powder, ensure that the grind size is sufficient
for drip coffee makers. At some coffee shops, the employees grind your coffee
according to your likings. However, you should prefer whole coffee beans and
use the grinder of the appliance.
• Start with a medium setting of the grind size. Adapt the setting in small steps to
your likings.
• If the grind size is too fine, the water flows only very slowly through the coffee
powder. The result is dark, strong and bitter. You should use a coarser grind
size (large icons).
