automatic coffee centers: If your coffee or espresso brews too fast, try a lower number setting
than indicated. If it brews too slowly, try a higher setting than the ones recommended above.
GRINDING
1. Add the required amount of coffee beans directly into the bean container
(Fig. 2). When grinding for drip coffee use 1 to 1 1/2 level scoops per
5 oz. cup of coffee, depending on how strong you like your coffee. When
grinding for espresso use 1 1/2 to 2 level scoops per espresso shot.
2. Do not fill with more than 18 level scoops of coffee. Attention: the longer
you grind the more "static" will build up. Grinding 12 scoops in the finest
position (pos. 1) will take approx. 35 to 40 seconds, in the coarsest
position (pos. 9) approx. 25 seconds. Grinding 18 scoops in the finest
position can take 60 to 70 seconds, creating a lot more static, which
makes small coffee particles "fly" around.
3. After grinding for one minute you must let the grinder cool down for
5 to 10 minutes otherwise the motor can overheat and shut itself off.
4. Place the bean container lid on top before grinding (Fig. 3).
5. Select the fineness setting (Fig. 5).
6. Turn the main switch on (F). The red light will illuminate.
7. Push and hold the GRIND button for 2 to 3 seconds and then release.
8. The Burr Grinder Sensor will grind all the beans in the bean container
and then stop automatically.
9. While in the machine, tap the ground coffee container a few times.
Now, slowly remove the container from the machine (fig. 4). Tap the
container again a few times to release more of the "static" (fig. 6).
