adjust the grind size to compensate for coffee of different origins, quality, age and
degree of roast. Grind setting 3 should cover most coffees you purchase but there
are circumstances that require the grind size to be adjusted.
Tip:
We recommend you visually assess the grind size first. This can only be done by
grinding some coffee and assessing the consistency of the coffee powder.
For smaller cup volumes a finer grind will work best (setting 2-3) for larger cup
volumes (12 cup carafe) a medium-coarse grind will work best (setting 3-5), but this
is heavily dependent on many factors.
We suggest only making one adjustment at a time and determine its affects by brew-
ing and tasting.
To adjust the Grinder
1. Turn the Grind Adjustment dial located through the bean hopper lid, in the direc-
tion of the arrow to effect a coarser or finer grind. The LCD will display your
grind setting, while you turn the dial. Turn the dial slowly until the desired grind
size number is displayed.
Tip:
A grind size of between 2 and 4 should be suitable for most coffee origins and
brew sizes. If using this range and your coffee is not tasting as expected, check
the freshness of your beans. Also ensure the coffee basket and carafe are clean.
CALIBRATING THE GRINDER
This function is used to adjust the grinder output times to compensate for coffee
beans of different origins, age and degree of roast and grind size. To use this func-
tion you will require a set of precision scales with a resolution of 1 gram. When
using this function the coffee brewer will prompt you to weigh the amount of output
from the grinder after it has been run for 10 seconds.
Note:
You should set the required grind size first (see: ›Adjusting the Grinder‹). For smal-
ler cup volumes a finer grind (2-3) works best; for larger cup volumes and the 12
cup carafe, a medium coarse grind (3-5) works best.
1. Set the grind size. See above: ›Adjusting the Grinder‹.
2. Fill a sufficient amount of beans into the bean hopper.
3. Insert the gold tone filter or a paper filter in the coffee basket.
4. Fit the coffee basket to the swing-out door and close the swing-out door.
