Coarseness selector knobABOUT GRINDING COFFEEThe proper grind gives the most flavorful cup ofcoffee. The size of the grind depends on the me-thod by which the coffee is to be brewed. Gene-rally, the finer the grind the more quickly thecoffee should be prepared, that is why coffeeground for use in an espresso machine is muchfiner than coffee to be brewed in a drip system.Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular bre-wing process - (fine espresso grind used in anautomatic drip coffee machine) will result in over-extraction and bitter, pungent tasting coffee. Con-versely, coffee that is too coarse for a particularbrewing method will result in under-extractionand weak, watery coffee. If the correct grind isused, adding more coffee simply makes a brewstronger without making it bitter.In addition to providing a number of grind set-tings, coffee grinders provide a consistent grind.This is important to ensure the extraction is con-sistent across all of the ground coffee particles.BEFORE FIRST USEBefore using the coffee grinder, wipe the housingand bean hopper with a clean damp cloth. Washcoffee bean hopper lid, ground coffee containerand ground coffee container lid in hot soapywater, then rise and dry.The ground coffee holder, its lid, and the beanhopper lid can be washed in the top rack of a di-shwasher.NOTE: the burr can not be washed and must bekept dry at all times.
