ABOUT GRINDING COFFEE
BEFORE FIRST USE
OPERATING THE COFFEE MILL
The proper grind gives the most avorful cup of coffee. The grind depends on the method
by which the coffee is to be brewed. Generally, the ner the grind the more quickly the
coffee should be prepared. That is why coffee ground for use in an espresso machine is
much ner than coffee to be brewed in a drip system.
Coffee that is ground too ne for a particular brewing process – (ne espresso grind used
in an automatic drip coffee machine) will result in over-extraction and bitter, pungent tasting
coffee. Conversely, coffee that is too coarse for a particular brew method will result in
under-extraction and weak, watery coffee. If the correct grind is used, adding more coffee
simply makes a brew stronger without making it bitter.
In addition to providing a number of grind settings, coffee mills provide a consistent grind.
This is important to ensure the extraction is consistent a cross all of the ground coffee
particles.
Before using the coffee mill, wipe the housing and bean hopper with a clean damp cloth.
Wash the bean hopper lid, the coffee ground coffee holder and the ground coffee holder lid
in hot soapy water, then rinse and dry. The ground coffee holder, its lid, and the bean hopper
