Features of your Café Series Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

A. 250g bean hopper
The 250g capacity bean hopper has a shutter release mechanism for easy removal and preventing accidental spills. It allows the user to transfer any unused beans to an ideal storage unit to preserve freshness.
B. Grind adjustment collar
Large and easy to use, the collar has a wide range of 24 grind settings. The coffee maker can select a fine grind to suit commercial espresso or adjust the setting for other brewing styles – from Turkish to plunger. With such precise settings, the user controls the particle size and ultimately the quality of the brew.
C. Group handle cradle
D. Preparation mat
Positioned under the grinding spout the preparation mat is ideal for catching loose coffee grinds while filling directly into the group handle. The mat can also be used on the bench as a tamping pad.
E. Rubber feet
The non-slip rubber feet ensure the grinder remains stable and prevents slipping on the bench top during use.
F. Burr shield
G. Italian conical burrs
Italian-designed and manufactured, the metal conical burr design achieves excellent grind consistency and minimizes heat transfer to the coffee due to the slowly rotating burrs.
H. Die-cast metal housing
Built to last, the heavy-duty die-cast metal body encases a powerful motor and provides a stable base for the grinder.
I. Grind on demand button
Position the group handle into the group handle cradle, push against the button and freshly ground coffee will flow directly into the filter basket. Pull the group handle away
and the grinding will stop.
J. Operation switch
Switch to ‘On’ to grind continuously into a container. ‘Off’ to stop or ‘Auto’ for grinding directly into the group handle.
K. Cord wrap
The cord wraps away to keep the bench top clean.
L. Burr cleaning brush
Strong bristles help sweep out grinds from the burrs.
Accessories
M. Commercial size group handle cradle
N. Domestic size group handle cradle
O. Silicone spout
P. Commercial size dosing funnel
Q. Domestic size dosing funnel

Slow speed grinding
The combination of a powerful gear-driven motor and conical burr design delivers a slow-speed grinding process. This minimizes the heat transferred to the coffee, protecting its aromatic profile.

Dual mode setting s
For convenience, there are two modes of operation – the ‘Auto’ function for grinding coffee on demand or ‘On’ for grinding continuously into a container.
Grind on demand
As with commercial quality grinders, the ‘Auto’ function allows coffee beans to be freshly ground directly into the group handle, on-demand as required. This provides complete using control and a fresh grind without loss of aroma and flavor.
Operating your Café Series Conical Burr Coffee Grinder
Before using the coffee grinder, wipe the base exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the bean hopper and hopper lid in soapy water. Rinse and dry before using.
Note: Do not immerse the burrs in water or any other liquid.
Note: Do not place any parts of the coffee grinder in the dishwasher.

1. Place the coffee grinder on a dry, level surface.

2. To attach the bean hopper, position bean hopper onto the top of the motor base, push down, and turn clockwise. See Figure 1.
   

3. Fill the bean hopper with coffee beans.
   Note: This coffee grinder is intended to grind whole coffee beans only.

4. Place the hopper lid onto the bean hopper.

5. Plug the power cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet and switch the power on.

6. Select the grind by turning the grind adjustment collar to the desired setting, see Figure 2.
   Refer to the grind setting table on page 9 to assist you in selecting the correct grind level for the desired brewing method.
   For grinding continuous quantities

7. Insert a small container under the grinder, see Figure 3.
   

8. To grind coffee, flip the switch to the ‘On’ position, see Figure 4.
   

9. When the desired amount of coffee has been ground, flip the switch to the ‘Off’ position. Remove the coffee container and scoop out the ground coffee. For grinding into the group handle

10. Add dosing funnel to group handle.

11. Position the group handle into the group handle locator, see Figure 5.
    Note: There are two group handles and two dosing funnels provided: a smaller size to fit domestic handles and a larger size for commercial handles.

12. Flip the switch to the ‘Auto’ position, see Figure 6.
    

13. To grind the coffee, press the group handle against the button located in the center of the group handle cradle, see Figure 7.
    

14. When the basket is full, pull the group handle off the button. Collapse the coffee in the basket by tapping it on the bench and repeat until the desired amount of coffee has been ground.
    Note: Foreign objects like stones or twigs can sometimes be found in whole-bean coffee and can cause the coffee grinder to jam. Should this occur, refer to the Care and  Cleaning section on page 11. These objects need to be removed immediately.

Adjusting the grind setting

Grind setting table

The wide range of 24 grind settings allows for precision adjustment. The coffee maker has complete control of the particle size and ultimately the quality of the resulting brew.
Some things to remember when using the coffee grinder:

• The smaller the particle size the longer it will take to grind.
• When using the finer settings the coffee may become stuck, we recommend tapping on the lid of the bean hopper to dislodge any clumps of coffee blocking the flow.
• After long periods of using the finer settings, we recommend removing the upper burr and sweeping away any residual coffee to avoid clogging. See the Care and Cleaning section on page 11 for more details.

Tips

1. Select the correct grind for the brewing method you are using. 24 grind settings are available to ensure precision adjustment. Setting 1 produces the finest grind, 12 to 16 are medium grinds appropriate for espresso coffee makers, and 24 is the coarsest grind you can achieve. Experiment with the grind settings to achieve the ideal brew that
   best suits your tastes.

2. For drip filter coffee machines, a good starting point is to use 8 grams (1 scoop) of coffee for every 4 cups of brewed water as measured with the carafe. Finer grinds usually require less coffee, but using too fine a grind will result in a brew that is bitter in flavor.

3. For those that prefer weaker coffee, continue to use the recommended amount of ground coffee and then dilute the resulting brew with fresh hot water. Doing this will maximize flavor and minimize bitterness.

4. Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular brewing process will result in over-extraction and the coffee will taste bitter. On the other hand, coffee that is too coarse for a particular brewing method will result in under-extraction and the coffee will be thin and poor in flavor.

5. Once the coffee is ground it quickly loses its flavor and aroma. For the best results, we recommend you grind beans immediately prior to brewing.

6. Buy fresh whole coffee beans weekly.

7. Coffee beans have the best flavor between 5 – 20 days after roasting.

8. To retain freshness, store whole coffee beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place. It is not recommended that you store beans in the grinder’s bean hopper for a prolonged period.

9. To ensure the best results from the coffee grinder clean the bean hopper and conical burrs regularly.

Care and cleaning

Important Notes:

• Spots and marks on the surface of the burrs are part of the hardening process. These marks do not affect the performance of the grinder or the taste of the coffee.
• Ensure the coffee grinder is switched off and unplugged from the power outlet prior to cleaning.
• Do not immerse the motor base of the coffee grinder in water.
• Do not immerse any part of the burr assembly in water or any other liquid.
• Do not place any parts of the coffee grinder in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

Cleaning the motor base, bean hopper and coffee container

1. Remove the bean hopper from the motor base and store unused beans in an airtight container to preserve their freshness, see Figure 8.
2. Wipe the motor base exterior with a damp cloth and dry it.
3. Wash the bean hopper in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry before using.

Cleaning the burrs
If the coffee grinder is used frequently (every day), the burrs need to be cleaned every three weeks to ensure the best performance of the coffee grinder. Regular cleaning helps the burrs achieve consistent grinding results, which is especially important when grinding coffee for espresso.

1. Ensure the coffee grinder is switched off and unplugged from the power outlet. Remove the bean hopper from the motor base, push down and turn anticlockwise. See Figure8.

2. To remove the top burr turn the grind adjustment collar in an anti-clockwise direction until it stops, see Figure 9.
   Note: The top burr can only be removed when the graphic arrow on the grind adjustment collar is aligned with the arrow on the motor base.

3. Press and hold down the ‘UNLOCK’ button at the rear of the motor base and with the other hand turn the grind adjustment collar anti-clockwise until the arrow on the collar is aligned with the arrow on the motor base, see Figure 10.
   

4. Lift out the top burr from the grind adjustment collar using the handle, see Figure 11. Clean using the burr cleaning brush.
   

5. Lift the grind adjustment collar away from the motor base and clean with the brush, see Figure 12.
   

6. Clean the bottom burr using the burr cleaning brush, see Figure 13.

7. Once both burrs are cleaned, return the grind adjustment collar to its position in the motor base.

8. With the grind adjustment collar in hand align the arrow on the collar with the arrow on the rear of the motor base. Press down.

9. Replace the top burr back into position in the grind adjustment collar and turn clockwise to the desired grind setting.

Adjusting the burrs for wear
The conical burrs are made of tool-hardened steel for extra long life. However, after prolonged use, the burrs will require adjustment to compensate for wear. A sign of this is when the grinds are not as fine as they used to be, check by rubbing some of the grinds between two fingers, or for espresso the extraction will also show signs that the grind needs adjusting.
Replacing the burrs
To inquire about having the burrs replaced contact the Sunbeam Consumer Hotline.
