GRINDING TIMES:
Your Cuisinart® Supreme Grind™ Automatic Burr Mill is 
fully automatic. There are 6 settings per grind type, and the 
grind chamber holds enough ground coffee for up to 32 cups. 
The unit is set for medium grind settings, which takes 
approximately 40 seconds to grind coffee for 12 cups, and 
approximately 55 seconds 18 cups. 
When choosing fine settings, you may need to set the cup 
selector at a higher number of cups to get the desired amount 
of coffee, as fine grinds are very compact. The opposite is true 
for coarse settings. You may need to set the cup selector at a 
larger number of cups to get the desired amount of coffee, as 
coarse grinds are very loose. To determine the right grind 
consistencies and quantities, experiment with different grinds 
and coffee types to suit your taste.
