HELPFUL GRINDING HINTS
You may customize the bean quantity recommendations
presented as you familiarize yourself with your new
OSTER
®
Coffee Grinder, but always bear in mind the
following:
1. Use medium grind ( ) for automatic drip coffee makers, fine ( ) for espresso and
coarse ( ) for French press.
2. Using fine grounds for brewing coffee in automatic drip coffee makers might cause
an overflow of the paper filter and/or the brew basket. Also, the taste of the coffee
might be stronger than desired.
3. Using coarse grounds for brewing coffee in an automatic drip coffee maker might
cause the taste of the coffee to be weaker than desired.
4. To brew espresso or cappuccino, grind the amount of coffee grounds
recommended by your product manufacturer.
a. For OSTER
®
Espresso products:
1) Set the coffee grinder to Fine grind and 4 cups.
2) Use the chart on page 5 for recommended amount of coffee rounds.
b. Using improper medium or coarse coffee grinding settings might affect the taste
of the brewed espresso coffee, because the optimum coffee extraction is not
achieved using the coarse grind setting.
5. If a coarser setting is required to brew coffee manually, in a percolator or using a
French press, grind the amount of coffee grounds recommended by your product
manufacturer using the coarse grind setting.
6. Remember, you can customize the recommendations above as you discover which
settings best meet your personal coffee-making preference.
