setting is used. Caution: Never change the grind setting while the grinder is running!
7.Use the Cup selector dial (G) to pick the number of cups of coffee you will be brewing
(from 2 to 10). The amount of ground coffee yielded varies quite a bit, depending on how

grinding a few times, you will fi nd the correct cup selector setting for the amount of coffee
you want to grind.
8.Push the On/Off Button (H) to start your grinder. The grinder will begin grinding the

There are a total of 18 grind settings, with 1 being the fi nest grind setting and 18 being
the coarsest grind setting.
Our general recommendations are:
COARSE:
French Press Coffee Makers.•
Percolators.•
MEDIUM:
Steam Boiler Espresso Machines.•
Drip Coffee Makers. When using GoldTone Filters use a somewhat•
coarser setting; when using Filter Paper try a fi ner setting.
FINE:
Espresso pump machines.•
Fully Automatic Coffee Centers (when using ground coffee).•
Stovetop Mocha Machines.•
Manual fi lters with manual brewing.•
Manual preparation of Turkish coffee (two fi nest settings).•
Helpful Hints:
For espresso pump machines and automatic coffee centers: If your coffee or espresso•
brews too fast, try fi ner settings. If your espresso brews too slow, try coarser settings.
For French Press: Please follow the instructions of your French Press coffee maker•
(after pouring water over the ground coffee, stir thoroughly to prevent the ground coffee
from clogging).
Dark, oily beans: Grind dark oily beans one or two steps coarser than medium or light •
brown beans. On the fi nest settings it is possible that oil residue from dark, oily beans
could clog the feeder channel.
Clogging and Overfl ow: If your coffee making equipment cannot process the water •
through the grounds, overfl ow or clogging might occur. Choose a coarser grind setting.
