CAPRESSO COOL GRIND
Thank you for buying the Capresso
grinder. Freshly ground coffee yields
more aroma and flavor. Please read
the following instruc tions to make
the best use of this grinder.
RECOMMENDATIONS
This type of grinder will properly
grind coffee for the following coffee
machines:
• electric drip coffee makers,
• manual French press machines,
• percolators,
• manual cone coffee makers,
• steam/boiler espresso machines.
We do not recommend using this
kind of grinder for pump espresso
machines.
For best results grind only as much
coffee as you will brew right away.
Beans will maintain the aroma longer
than ground coffee.
GRINDING
1. Unwind cord. Make sure the
grinder sits on a flat surface.
2. Remove lid and fill the grinding
chamber with beans. Use one
tablespoon of beans per cup of
coffee. Adjust the quantity to
your own personal taste.
3. Place lid on grinder and plug in
the cord. Press and hold down
the safety button. Grinding will
start instantly.
4. As soon as you release the button
the grinding blades will stop
rotating.
5. When grinding is finished, unplug
machine, slowly remove the lid.
Remove all of the ground coffee
from the bean container. Clean
grinder (see next page).

GRINDING TIMES
When grinding the maximum amount
of coffee we recommend to grind for
20 to 30 seconds. For best results
grind in 10 second intervals (max. 40g).
When the blade stops rotating, tap the
grinder lightly, then start grinding
again. This will minimize the amount of
coffee clinging to the bottom of the
grinding container.
We do not recommend grinding for
more than 30 seconds. If you grind
longer, your coffee will get warmer
and will lose some of its flavor.
GRINDING SPICES & HERBS
You can use your CAPRE O grinder
to grind dry spices and herbs.
How ever, you might experience flavor
trans fers which can spoil your coffee
taste. We recommend using a second
grinder if you grind spices regularly.
CLEANING
• Unplug before cleaning.
• Empty the bean container. Wipe
the inside of the container with a
damp cloth.
CA TION: Blade is sharp.
• Wipe the outside housing and the
lid with a damp cloth.
NEVER IMMERSE MACHINE IN
ANY LIQ ID.
