Care and Cleaning
1. Grind only beans you will
immediately use for freshest
tasting coffee.
2. Adjust amount of coffee beans
and grinding time to suit your
own personal taste. Shorter
grinding time results in coarser
grinds. Longer grinding times
result in finer grinds, but can
overheat the coffee grinds and
valuable coffee flavors can be lost.
(For optimum grinding results,
do not pulse top cover.)
3. KitchenAid does not recommend
using this grinder to grind beans
for pump espresso type machines.
