GRINDING SUGGESTIONS
Some general guidelines for grinding are listed below.
However, times will vary depending upon the amount of
coffee used and your personal preference. To determine
the right grind consistencies, experiment with different
grinds and coffee types to suit your taste.
Grind Suggested Use Grind Time*
Coarse Percolator/ 20 Seconds
French Press
Medium Automatic Drip 30 Seconds
Fine Espresso 40 Seconds
*based on full capacity
MEASUREMENT SUGGESTIONS
For the richest coffee flavor, we suggest using one rounded
tablespoon of ground coffee for every 5 ounces of water.
The measurement markings in the grinder bowl indicate
reference measurements. Fill beans to the marking level
indicated by number of cups desired.
For example, when making automatic drip coffee, if you
fill the bowl with beans to the maximum 18 cup marking,
you will have enough ground coffee for 18 cups.
Note: These markings are approximate. Experiment
with different quantities to determine what works best.
