5.0.1 Tips
• Store coffee beans in a cool, dry place in an
opaque, airtight container.
• Grind the coffee beans just before you start
brewing coffee.
• Choose the grind that is appropriate for the
brewing method you use (see ‘Choosing the
appropriate grind’ below). The faster the water
flows through the ground coffee, the finer the
grind should be. For first use, we advise you to
select the medium grind setting. Next, adjust
the setting to your taste. When you have used
the grinder a few times, you will know which
grind setting best suits your taste.
B
Warning:
Do not adjust the grind setting while the
grinder is working. If you turn the grind
selection knob while the grinder is working,
the motor of the grinder may jam.
