About grinding coffee
Correct fineness or coarseness setting will create a cup of coffee with a heady aroma.
Different grind selection will give out different flavors. Fine grind will result in strong, bitter
coffee. Conversely, coarse grind will result in weaker coffee. If moderate grind is chosen,
the coffee only would taste strong instead of bitter no matter how much coffee you
add.
*We advise you to experiment with different grind settings from (from fine to coarse)
to find out which setting you prefer.
● Remove the coffee bean container lid.
● Fill the container with coffee beans.Make sure there are enough coffee beans
in the container for the amount of coffee you want to brew.
● The maximum capacity of the bean container is 150g, To prevent the grinder from
jamming,please do not exceed this amount.
●To prevent the grinder from being jammed, do not use unroasted or frozen beans. Frozen
beans need to be thawed until their temperature is the same as that of the room.
●To prevent the grinder from jamming,do not use caramelised beans.
●In order to retain the flavours, we advise that you add the coffee beans that meet your
requirements. Excess coffee beans can be sealed and stored in the original packaging
or an opaque, sealed container and kept in a cool, dry place.
●We suggest that you add the amount of coffee beans sufficient for one-time brewing if
you do not intend to use the machine continuously and let the machine finish grinding
all the beans. You can then empty the grinder this way and retain the coffee’s aroma and
avoid lowering the coffee’s quality.
Note: Always keep the water reservior lid closed
when you fill the coffee bean contaner with coffee
beans.Otherwise, the coffee beans can fall into
the water reservoir and choke the water inlet.
