[. . . ] To grind coffee, press the ground coffee container against the grind on demand button (Fig. When the desired amount of coffee is ground, pull the ground coffee container off the button. Close the container with the lid to preserve freshness of the ground coffee. Foreign objects like stones or twigs can sometimes be found in whole bean coffee and can cause the coffee grinder to jam. The coffee maker has complete control of the particle size and ultimately the quality of the resulting brew. Some things to remember when using the coffee grinder: · The smaller the particle size the longer it will take to grind. When using the finer settings the coffee may become stuck, we recommend tapping on the lid of the bean hopper to dislodge any clumps of coffee blocking the flow. After long periods of using the finer settings we recommend removing the upper burr and sweeping away any residual coffee to avoid clogging. 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. For the best results we recommend you grind beans immediately prior to brewing. [. . . ] However after prolonged use the burrs will require adjustment to compensate for wear. A sign of this is when the grinds are not as fine as they used to be, check by rubbing some of the grinds between two fingers or for espresso the extraction will also show signs that the grind needs adjusting.
