PROPERTIES OF YOUR NEW COFFEE GRINDER
• The DESIGN COFFEE GRINDER ADVANCED PLUS is perfectly suited for grin-
ding fresh, whole coffee beans just before the brewing cycle. Simply adjust the
grind size to the type of brewing method, you prefer.
• The machine meets the high standards set by the »Speciality Coffee Association
of America« and the »European Coffee Brewing Centre«.
• You may fill up to 350 g coffee beans into the bean hopper.
• The locking system of the bean hopper automatically closes the base of the bean
hopper, avoiding that remaining coffee beans fall out, when removing the bean
hopper.
• The stainless steel grinding tools are designed for minimizing the grinding heat.
Therefore, the essential oils and flavours in the coffee beans are protected during
grinding.
• 16 precise grind size settings can be selected via the grind size dial: from
the finest grind for espresso machines to the coarsest grind for plunger coffee
makers.
• Via setting the grind time, the grinder substitutes the repeated usage of a measu-
ring spoon by giving off the correct dose automatically. The appliance comes
with a special storage container for max. 240 g coffee powder. This container
is perfectly suited for operation with the appliance. In the container lid, the ope-
ning for grinding the coffee powder directly into the container is adapted to the
powder outlet of the machine. For grinding, fold back the latch of the container
lid. For storage, the latch may be used for closing the filling hole.
• 2 portafilter cradles sized for 50 - 54 mm and 58 mm portafilters are provided
for directly grinding into the portafilter of your espresso machine. The handling is
as easy as could be: simply push the prepared and pre-warmed portafilter into
the grinder cavity below the portafilter cradle for starting operation. The grinder
stops immediately, when withdrawing the portafilter. To avoid severe injuries
and damage, the safety interlocks of the appliance ensure that the motor can-
not be started, when the grinder is not assembled correctly and completely. If
the bean hopper or the storage container / portafilter cradle is not properly in
place, the grinder will not operate.
WARNING
– Do not attempt to corrupt the safety interlocks. If the grinder
does not work, refer to the hints given in chapter ‘Solving Problems’ and clear
away the obstacle. Do not remove any parts, while the appliance is connected to
the power supply.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
Taste and flavour of your coffee depend on a lot of essential constituents. Apart from
the brewing method, type of coffee beans, roast and freshness, an even grind and
perfectly suited grind size of the coffee beans are essential. However, for achieving
best results, the evenness of the grind is crucial too. Therefore, a high-quality grinder
is the first step on the way to your perfect coffee delight. The grind size has a great
influence on the flow of water through the coffee powder, thus determining the taste
and flavour of your coffee. Adapt the grind size to the desired brewing method.
• The optimum grind size depends on your individual liking too. Make the
required fine tuning of the grind size step by step for getting the desired results.
• For adapting the grind size to your favourite taste, begin with a medium grind
size in a range, suited for your preferred brewing method. Change the settings
in small steps to reach the desired optimum. It is normal that a few attempts are
needed for finding the correct grind size.
• It is best to grind coffee beans directly before brewing. When you need the
same amount of coffee powder for each brewing cycle, we recommend to
adjust the grind time dial accordingly. The appliance will give off the allocated
amount and stop automatically.
• Aroma and taste fade quickly, when storing coffee powder for more than a
week. Store coffee beans or coffee powder on a cool, dark place in a dry, air-
tight container. For this, you may use the storage container of the appliance.
