GRINDING SUGGESTIONS:

Some general guidelines for grinding are listed below. However,
times will vary depending upon the amount of coffee used and
your personal pre f e rence. To determine the right grind consisten­cies, experiment with diff e rent grinds and coffee types to suit your
t a s t e .

G r i n d Suggested Use Grind Time*

Coarse P e rc o l a t o r / 20 Sec onds

Mediu m Automati c Drip 30 Sec onds

Fine E s p re s s o 40 Sec onds

*based on full capacity

MEASUREMENT SUGGESTIONS:

For the richest coffee flavour, we suggest using one rounded table­spoon (15 ml) of ground coffee for every 5 ounces (148 ml) of water.

The measurement markings in the grinder bowl indicate re f e r e n c e
m e a s u r ements. Fill beans to the marking level indicated by number of
cups desire d .

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 (2.6 L).

Note: These markings are approximate. Experiment
with diff e rent quantities to determine what works best.
