ABOUT GRINDING COFFEE
The proper grind gives the most flavorful cup of
coffee. The size of the grind depends on the me-
thod by which the coffee is to be brewed. Gene-
rally, the finer the grind the more quickly the
coffee should be prepared, that is why coffee
ground for use in an espresso machine is much
finer than coffee to be brewed in a drip system.
Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular bre-
wing process - (fine espresso grind used in an
automatic drip coffee machine) will result in over-
extraction and bitter, pungent tasting coffee. Con-
versely, coffee that is too coarse for a particular
brewing method will result in under-extraction
and weak, watery coffee. If the correct grind is
used, adding more coffee simply makes a brew
stronger without making it bitter.
In addition to providing a number of grind set-
tings, coffee grinders provide a consistent grind.
This is important to ensure the extraction is con-
sistent across all of the ground coffee particles.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the coffee grinder, wipe the housing
and bean hopper with a clean damp cloth. Wash
coffee bean hopper lid, ground coffee container
and ground coffee container lid in hot soapy
water, then rise and dry.
The ground coffee holder, its lid, and the bean
hopper lid can be washed in the top rack of a di-
shwasher.
NOTE: the burr can not be washed and must be
kept dry at all times. Clean burr with stiff bri-
stled brush.
