Note:
The settings noted in the table above are
a starting guide only. For example the setting
for espresso will vary depending on the quality
and roast degree of the beans and the type of
espresso extraction desired.
The wide-range of 25 grind settings allows
for precision adjustment. The coffee maker
has complete control of the particle size and
ultimately the quality of the resulting brew.
Some things to remember when using the coffee
grinder;
• The smaller the particle size the longer it will
take to grind.
• When using the finer settings the coffee may
become stuck, we recommend tapping on the
lid of the bean hopper to dislodge any clumps
of coffee blocking the flow.
• After long periods of using the finer settings
we recommend removing the upper burr and
sweeping away any residual coffee to avoid
clogging. See the Care and Cleaning section
on page 7 for more details.
Tips
1. Select the correct grind for the brewing
method you are using. 25 grind settings are
available to ensure precision adjustment.
Setting 1 produces the finest grind, 12 to 16
are medium grinds appropriate for espresso
coffee makers, and 25 is the coarsest grind
you can achieve. Experiment with the grind
settings to achieve the ideal brew that best
suits your tastes.
2. For drip filter coffee machines, a good
starting point is to use 8 grams (1 scoop)
of coffee for every 4 cups of brew water
as measured with the carafe. Finer grinds
usually require less coffee, but using too fine
a grind will result in a brew that is bitter in
flavour.
3. For those that prefer weaker coffee, continue
to use the recommended amount of ground
coffee and then dilute the resulting brew
with fresh hot water. Doing this will maximise
flavour and minimise bitterness.
4. Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular
brewing process will result in over-extraction
and the coffee will taste bitter. On the other
hand, coffee that is too coarse for a particular
brewing method will result in under-extraction
and the coffee will be thin and poor in
flavour.
5. Once coffee is ground it quickly loses its
flavour and aroma. For the best results we
recommend you grind beans immediately
prior to brewing.
6. Buy fresh whole coffee beans weekly.
7. To retain freshness, store whole coffee beans
in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry
place. It is not recommended that you store
beans in the grinder’s bean hopper for a
prolonged period.
8. To ensure the best results from the coffee
grinder clean the bean hopper and conical
burrs regularly. Our suggestion is every 3
weeks.
