Short-Term Operation

Setting the Degree of Grinding
The grinder is gradually adjustable from extra fine to coarse. Observe the
symbols for setting the grinding degree. The small dots mean a fine setting
and the big dots a coarse setting.
How fine or coarse you grind your coffee depends on the further use of the
coffee powder. The type of coffee beans and the roasting process have an
additional impact on the taste. With a little practice, you will find out
which grind setting is right for you. We can give you the following
indications:
Grind adjustment | Usage |
---|---|
Extra fine | Espresso machine |
Fine | Coffee machine |
Medium | Hand filter |
Coarse | French Press coffee |
NOTE: Avoid blockages of the grinder Set the grinding degree when the
container for coffee beans is completely empty or only during the grinding
process.
To change the grinding degree, slide the lever to the desired setting.
Regulator for Setting the Powder Quantity (Number of Cups)
Use the slider to set the amount of coffee that is to be ground. Make sure
that there are always enough coffee beans in the container for coffee beans.
Choose between
2 and 12 cups of coffee. The control lamp will flash.
The amount of coffee powder per cup depends on your personal taste, the type
of coffee and the grinding grade setting.
NOTE: Tip for espresso Only grind the amount of coffee you are going to
use immediately.
Remaining Coffee Beans Remove the coffee beans from the appliance if they are
older than a week. They have lost their aroma and diminished the coffee taste.
TIP: Store coffee beans in a sealed, air-tight container in the
refrigerator. That way, the coffee stays aromatic for longer.
