About grinding coffee

The proper grind gives the most
flavorful cup of coffee. The grind
depends on the method by which the
coffee is to be brewed. Generally, 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 brewing process – (fine
espresso grind used in an automatic
drip coffee machine) will result in
over-extraction and bitter, pungent
tasting coffee. Conversely, coffee that
is too coarse for a particular brew
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 settings, coffee mills provide a
consistent grind. This is important to
ensure the extraction is consistent
a c ross all of the ground coffee particles.

Before first use

Before using the coffee mill, wipe the
housing and bean hopper with a clean
damp cloth. Wash the bean hopper
lid, the coffee ground coffee holder
and the ground coffee holder lid in
hot soapy water, then rinse and dry.
The ground coffee holder, its lid, and
the bean hopper lid can be washed in
the top rack of a dishwasher.

Operating the Coffee Mill

1. Make certain the coffee mill is

unplugged. Fit the ground coffee

holder (6) and its lid (7) in their
correct positions. Check that the
assembly is correctly positioned in
the body (3).

2. Remove the lid of the coffee bean
hopper (2) and fill the bean hopper
to the level desired (1). Do not fill
above the “max.” level. Replace the
lid and make certain that it is
correctly positioned.

NOTE: This product is designed to

grind whole bean coffee only.

3. Set the quantity of ground coffee

by positioning the number of cups
selector (8) according to the desired
quantity.

4. Set the ground coffee fineness level

by adjusting the ground coffee fine­ness selector (9) to the desired
level. (see § Practical Hints )

5. Insert the plug into an electrical soc-

ket (voltage: 120 volts ~ 60 Hz).

6. Press the ON/OFF switch (4) to start

the appliance.

7. Once the selected quantity has been

milled, the appliance will stop auto­matically.

8. If you want to stop the appliance
before milling is complete, press the
ON/OFF switch (4).

9. Remove the ground coffee holder,
tap the receptacle gently, remove
the lid and pour the ground coffee
into the filter of the coffee maker
or use a measuring spoon.

10. To obtain additional ground cof-

fee, repeat the operating cycle.
Always first make sure that the
ground coffee does not go above
the “max.” level of the ground
coffee holder (6).

Selected settings will be retained from
one use to the next.

IMPORTANT!

For your appliance to run correctly,
make certain that :

- The lid to the coffee -bean hopper

(2) is correctly positioned.

- The ground coffee holder (6) and its

lid (7) are correctly placed in the
body of the appliance.

Practical hints

- It is best to store coffee-beans a dry,

cool place. Beans should be kept in
an opaque, airtight container.

- Grind the coffee just prior to

brewing it.

Advice to select the level of fine­ness of your ground coffee

- Use the fineness selector (9) to adjust

the grind according to the type of
coffee maker.

- Generally, the quicker the water goes

through the ground coffee, the finer
the ground coffee should be.
A “medium” ground is thus suited to
making filter coffee while a “very
fine” ground is needed to make an
Espresso.

- For the first use, we suggest that you
use an intermediate position and
then adjust the setting to your taste.
Once you have used the appliance a
few times, you will find the ideal
grind setting to suit your taste and
brew method.

- Do not change the grind setting
while the appliance is running.

Suggested Grind Settings:

Fine Espresso
Medium/Fine A u t o D r i p w / P e rmanent Filter

Medium/Coarse Perc o l a t o r
Coarse French Press

Advice to select the number of cups

- Use the number of cups selector (8)
to program the quantity of ground
coffee you want.

- The more cups you select, the longer
the appliance will run.

- The mill grinds 1/4 oz. of coffee per
cup selected.

Maintenance

- To keep all your coffee's aroma and
to avoid a degradation of the
ground coffee, empty the ground
coffee holder after each use.

- Always disconnect the grinder
before cleaning.

- Never place the grinder, power sup­ply cord or plug in water or under
running water.

- Do not use strong detergents or
abrasive pads to clean the appliance.

- Clean the lids and the ground coffee
holder in warm, soapy water or
place them in the upper basket of
your dishwasher.
