Introduction
Your Krups Chrome Touch coffee grinder
allows you to grind your own coffee beans
right in your own home. With such a variety
of coffee beans available in supermarkets and
gourmet shops, owning the Chrome Touch is
sophisticated and economical. The best result,
however, is that you get fresh coffee, every
time!
Light roasted beans seem to be the most
popular in North America, and dark roasts
have been associated more with the heavier
coffees, such as Espresso and Turkish. These
dark roast, however, can also be brewed for
«regular» coffee.
Coffee beans are also categorized as straight
coffees or blends. The straight coffees consist
of beans from a single area; blend consist of
beans from several areas, which sometimes
results in a superior coffee combination.
The best way to familiarize yourself with
coffee is to purchase small quantities of
several different varieties. Eventually, you will
learn which beans and blends suit your
personal taste. Perhaps you will soon start
blending your own «house brands»!
Operation
• Place the base unit (d) on a sturdy
counterhop.
•Fill the grinding chamber (c)1/2 to 3/4with
coffee beans (1) .
• To calculate the amount of coffee beans to
use, keep in mind that whole coffee beans
yield the approximate equivalent in ground
coffee (i.e. 1/4 cup beans = approx. 1/4 cup
groung coffee).

clockwise until firmly locked in place (2) .
• Plug in the chrome Touch. To start grinding,
press the power button (b) (3) . The power
will only stay on as long as the button is
pressed.
• The degree of fineness you desire will decide
how long you should grind. For example, a
coarse grind would require less grinding
time than a find grind.

stopped before removing lid. Grinder

lid.
• When grinding is complete, unplug the unit.
Turn the lid couterclockwise to remove the
lid and pour the ground coffee into a bowl
