THE GRINDING DEGREE

The grinding degree of the coffee depends on the filled amount and the grinding time. A shorter grinding time results in a coffee with a coarser grind. Also read the grinding degree instructions in the instruction manual for your coffee machine.

Coffee
Amount/Grinding time

• 10 g max: 20 s
• 40 g max: 25 s
• 60 g max: 30 s

Espresso
Caution: Regardless of bean type and degree of roast, espresso coffee requires a fine grind.
Amount/Grinding time

• 16 g (for 2 cups): max. 20 s
• 32 g (for 4 cups): max. 25 s
• 56 g (for 7 cups): max. 30 s

GRINDING TIPS

1. A COARSE grind is generally used for percolators and coffee pots. A MEDIUM grind is used for filter coffee makers and espresso machines with steam. A FINE grind is used for espresso machines with an electric pump.
2. Adjust the grinding time according to your taste and type of coffee beans.
3. For the freshest, most flavourful coffee, grind only the required amount for the coffee you are about to brew. Coffee beans that can be stored in air-tight containers in the freezer, can be ground while they are still frozen. The ground coffee remaining  in the coffee grinder ages quickly and will affect the flavour of the freshly ground coffee beans. Clean the grinding chamber, blades and lid after each use.
