Tips

Only fill the bean container with the quantity of coffee beans that you intend to use in the near future.
The required grind quantity depends on the coffee quantity and preparation method. Different amounts are used for the different preparation methods (table 2).
Instead of the supplied collection container, it is also possible to grind directly into a Melitta® coffee filter (1×4, 1×2 and 102) (12). Many currently available coffee filters can also be placed directly on the scale.
Very dry ambient air and/or electrostatically charged plastic filter holders can lead to the ground coffee not falling completely into the collection container.
Ground coffee can fly around in an uncontrolled manner and attach itself to the outer wall of the machine. Moistening the coffee filter in the filter holder beforehand (13) reduces this unavoidable effect.

Cleaning and care

ATTENTION: Always disconnect the mains plug before cleaning (14)!

For the best coffee results, we recommend that you clean the bean container, grinder and ground coffee chute regularly. Clean when the grinder is completely empty
