Always operate the grinder with the ground coffee container properly inserted in the grinder. Do not place your hand in or near the burrs while the grinder is in operation.

Do not immerse the burrs in water or any other liquid. 0 Place the coffee grinder on a dry, level surface. 0 To attach the bean hopper, position bean hopper onto the top of the motor base, push down and turn clockwise (see Fig. Remember to keep the hopper full at all times. Having an even weight bearing down on the burrs is important to ensure a consistent grind. This coffee grinder is intended to grind whole coffee beans only. 25 grind settings are available to ensure precision adjustment. Setting 1 produces the finest grind, 10 to 15 are medium grinds appropriate for espresso coffee makers, and 25 is the coarsest grind you can achieve. Experiment with the grind settings to achieve the ideal brew that best suits your tastes. For drip filter coffee machines, a good starting point is to use 8 grams (1 scoop) of coffee for every 4 cups of brew water as measured with the carafe. Finer grinds usually require less coffee, but using too fine a grind will result in a brew that is bitter in flavour. For those that prefer weaker coffee, continue to use the recommended amount of ground coffee and then dilute the resulting brew with fresh hot water. Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular brewing process will result in over-extraction and the coffee will taste bitter. On the other hand, coffee that is too coarse for a particular brewing method will result in under-extraction and the coffee will be thin and poor in flavour. Once coffee is ground it quickly loses its flavour and aroma. For the best results we recommend you grind beans immediately prior to brewing. To retain freshness, store whole coffee beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place.
