GRINDING GUIDE
1. Determine how many beans you need to grind. Start with 1 heaping tablespoon of beans per (5-oz.) cup of water,
and adjust to taste.
2. Do not leave leftover grounds in the grinder.
3. Use the chart below to choose the right fineness and grind time for your coffeemaker. Adjust as necessary for your
desired results.
4.
CAUTION:
Using a finer grind than suited for your filter type can cause clogging and overflow from the coffeemaker.
5. Pulse the activation button rather than holding it down continuously, to prevent the grounds from overheating and losing flavor.
6. After 60 seconds of total grind time, stop and allow the grinder to cool off.
