COFFEE BEANS AND THE BUILT-IN BURR GRINDER

Grinding the beans just before brewing will maximize the flavor and aroma of your coffee. Conical burr grinders are considered the best way of grinding beans. The slower grinding speed of the conical burrs creates less heat thus preserving more aroma of the ground coffee. Following the recommendations below will make your coffee taste better and your machine last longer.

a. Storing Coffee Beans in the Freezer?
Coffee stores do not store beans in the freezer or refrigerator! Coffee will act like baking soda, absorbing all odors and tastes surrounding it. Coffee beans will stay fresh for several weeks as long as you keep them in a dry, dark container. (It’s the ground coffee which will lose aroma rapidly!) If you must store coffee beans in the freezer, take them out the day before use and thaw in an open dish. This way they will thaw fully and evenly prior to adding the beans to the machine.
CAUTION: Do not add frozen beans to the grinder, always thaw before using.
IMPORTANT: If you fill beans from the freezer directly into the grinder, moisture will seep into the burrs and the ground chute. The moisture makes the ground coffee stick in the ground coffee chute (Fig. 10) and will clog it up over time.

b. Finer or Coarser Grind?
The three grind settings (Fig. 4) of your CoffeeTEAM PRO are calibrated for grinding drip coffee. Choose the coarser settings for darker, oilier beans. Choose the finer settings for light or medium roasts.
CAUTION: Do not use the FINE setting when grinding more than 8 cups as this could cause the filter basket to overflow during brewing.

c. Dark Beans versus Light Beans
Your CoffeeTEAM PRO burr grinder is calibrated to work with all different kinds of roasts. Dark, oily beans will leave some oil residue in the ground coffee chute so it is important to clean the grinder and ground coffee chute often to avoid clogging. For cleaning the ground coffee chute see chapter 10.6. The machine has a special “OILY” button which adds extra time to the grinding process for the slow moving beans. Press the OILY setting prior to brewing to activate this feature. See chapter 7.1, f.

d. Maintaining the Ground Coffee Chute (Fig. 11)
As mentioned above, all coffee beans contain oils. These oils and other residues from the ground coffee can build up in the ground coffee chute. It is important to maintain this chute by using the angled cleaning brush to sweep out the chute on a regular basis as described in Chapter 10.6.

e. Flavored beans, liquid flavorings, syrups

  • Do not use sugar or powder coated beans in the grinder (e.g. cinnamon, chocolate, vanilla etc). Coated beans can pit the bean container. The coating might stick to the burrs and, over time, will reduce the performance of the grinding mechanism.
  • Do not add any liquid flavorings or syrups to the beans.
  • If you like flavored coffee we recommend buying liquid flavorings at your local coffee store. Add a few drops into the carafe before or after brewing.

f. Stones and Beans
Every coffee specialty store will tell you that occasionally small stones can be found in between coffee beans. Very small stones will be processed through the burr grinder without any harm (the stone will end up in your filter not in your brewed coffee). However, larger stones can block the burr grinder permanently. If this happens, the grinder will make a loud noise. Push the BREW button to stop grinding and call our customer service number: 1-800-767-3554.

How to avoid stones entering the bean container:

  • Shake coffee bag thoroughly, so any stones will fall to the bottom of the bag.
  • Before emptying the bottom half of the bag of beans into the bean container, check to see whether there are any particles that look like stones, and remove them.
    IMPORTANT: If you hear a loud buzzing noise during grinder operation or if the grinder gets blocked or jammed, push the brew button to stop grinding and unplug the machine and follow cleaning instructions in chapters 10.5 to 10.7.

PLEASE, NEVER… (the following voids the warranty):

  • Never fill instant coffee into the bean container; it can damage the functioning of the grinder and the machine.
  • Never fill coated coffee beans into the bean container.
  • Never fill water or any other liquid into the bean container.
  • Never fill anything other than coffee beans into the bean container (no chocolate, no nuts, no spices).
  • Never fill anything but fresh, cold clean water into the water container.
  • Never remove or attempt to disassemble the lower burr (Fig. 1.10) or any other assembled parts.
  • Never grind into the GoldTone filter unless it is empty of previously used coffee grounds.
  • Never operate the machine with the fineness knob (Fig. 1.6) in RELEASE position, always lock the upper burr (Fig. 1.9). and bean container (Fig. 1.7) into place as described in chapters 7.4 & 7.5.
  • Never block the steam vent (Fig. 1.13) on the side of the machine. Always leave 2 inches of space between the steam vent and the wall or any other material.

  8. CHARCOAL WATER FILTRATION
    CoffeeTEAM PRO comes with one charcoal cartridge and a charcoal filter holder. You can brew coffee with or without the water filtration system. NOTE: If you use distilled, spring or bottled water or if your water has little or no chlorine you may not find a difference in taste in your coffee when using the water filtration system. However, most tap water is treated with chlorine. The water filter cartridge removes up to 82% of the chlorine found in your tap water.
    Initial Preparation:
    • Open the water container lid and remove the charcoal filter holder.
    • Remove the charcoal filter from polybag.
    • Soak the filter in a glass with cold water for a few minutes. This will activate the filter.
    • Insert the cartridge into the charcoal filter holder (Fig. 12) and snap charcoal filter holder closed.
    • Place the charcoal filter holder back into the water tank and ensure it is fitted tightly above the valve.
    When to replace the cartridge:
    • Replace the filter after 60 pots of coffee or 6 weeks after first use, whichever comes first. Unused cartridges can be stored indefinitely.
    • Replacement cartridges are available through your local Capresso dealer or through the website: www.capresso.com.
    • The machine automatically counts the number of pots brewed and the display will illuminate with a “CLEAN” icon when the charcoal filter needs to be replaced.
    • Discard the used filter and replace with a fresh charcoal filter. Follow installation instructions as described above.
    • Once fresh filter has been placed in the water tank, hold the “OILY” and “AUTO” button at the same time until the “CLEAN” icon disappears. • The machine will reset and count another 60 pots of coffee.
    IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal filter for longer than recommended. Change the charcoal filter as advised for best tasting coffee.

  9. GOLD TONE FILTER AND FILTER INSERT
    • Push the filter holder button (Fig. 6). The filter holder swings open. The Goldtone filter and the filter insert can be removed.
    • Before grinding/brewing coffee, always make sure that the GoldTone filter is empty and placed into the filter insert.
    IMPORTANT: Leaving used coffee grinds in the filter basket can lead to problems with the machine. Excess moisture can build inside the ground coffee chute and grinding a second portion of beans on top of used coffee grounds can lead to severe clogging. When possible, always remove the used coffee grounds shortly after brewing cycle has been completed. Use caution if grounds still appear to be hot.
    CAUTION/ DANGER!
    • Never use the coffee maker without the filter insert and GoldTone filter. Extremely hot water can overflow onto the machine and counter. If this occurs, turn the machine off, unplug and wait until the brewing stops.
    • Then push the filter holder button, add the filter insert and the GoldTone filter and close the filter holder. Place the carafe underneath and continue brewing until the water tank is empty.

  10. MODEL #477: USING THE GLASS CARAFE

CLEANING

CAUTION:
Make sure machine is turned off, unplugged and cooled down prior to cleaning. Never use scouring agents. Never immerse the machine in any liquid. Never clean machine under running water. Never submerge the conical burrs or allow them to get wet. Always empty the filter prior to cleaning the bean container or ground coffee chute so no moisture enters the grinder.

Special Cleaning Tips:

  1. Glass Carafe: Wash the carafe after every use. The glass carafe and carafe lid are dishwasher safe (upper rack, away from any heating element). Take extra precaution when handling the glass carafe. DO NOT use carafe if damaged or broken in any way.

  2. GoldTone Filter: Clean immediately after brewing, by hand or in the dishwasher (upper rack, away from any heating element). Do not let used coffee sit for hours in the filter. Coffee oils will clog the mesh, causing the coffee to overflow the next time you brew coffee.

  3. Filter Insert / Drip Stop: Clean the filter insert and the drip stop under running water or in the dishwasher (upper rack, away from any heating element). Test that the drip stop closes completely under running water (Fig. 5). Periodically check that water can flow through the drip stop by filling the filter insert with water and pressing down on the drip stop to check no particles are stuck in the drip stop.

  4. Bean Container: When the bean container is empty, use a dry cloth to wipe off any oil deposits. Never pour any liquid into the bean container and never wash under running water. Never try to disassemble the bean container.
    NOTE: Always empty the filter prior to cleaning the bean container or ground coffee chute so no moisture enters the grinder.

  5. Grind & Clean Cycle: The Grind & Clean Cycle can be used at anytime the machine is in standby mode (Heating plate is off, brew light is not illuminated). This cycle will cut off the flow of the beans and engage only the grinder. Any minor clogging caused by grounds will be expelled into the filter basket. To run a Grind & Clean Cycle simultaneously push and hold the “Ground Coffee” button and the “Auto” button as shown below. It is recommend to empty all used grounds from the filter basket before running a Grind & Clean Cycle.

  6. Ground Coffee Chute: Periodically check the ground coffee chute (Fig. 10 & 11) for oil and coffee build-up. The ground coffee chute should be cleaned 1-2 times a week if you use the machine daily or if any of the following situations occur:
    • Heavy oil build-up has caused coffee to block the ground coffee chute from opening.
    • The ground coffee chute door is not closing all the way.
    • You do not plan on using the grinder for more than a week.
    Note: If extremely oily beans are used (i.e. French Roast) more regular cleaning of the ground coffee chute may be required.
    For cleaning, please follow this sequence:
    Remove the carafe and push the filter holder button (Fig. 6). Remove the GoldTone filter and the filter insert and set aside.
    • With the filter holder open, look inside the cavity of the machine and under the grinder.
    • Use a cloth or paper towel to wipe clean coffee residue from ground coffee chute opening (Fig. 10).
    • Remove the bean container from the top of the machine. The door to the coffee chute will automatically open for cleaning and maintenance urposes.
    Note: The door will not open if the heating plate is on. Make sure the BREW light is off before attempting to open the chute door.
    • Once the chute door is open, unplug the machine from the wall outlet.
    • Make sure the glass carafe is removed and set aside, place a paper towel under the coffee chute to catch any ground coffee during cleaning.
    • Insert the angled cleaning brush into the the ground coffee chute and gently remove any ground coffee or coffee residues (see Fig. 13 below).

    • Plug the machine back into the wall outlet, and run a “Grind & Clean Cycle” by pushing the ground coffee button and the AUTO button simultaneously. This will ensure that the ground coffee chute door is closed.

  7. Conical Burrs: Once a week, remove the bean container and upper burr as described in chapters 7.4 & 7.5 to remove coffee buildup from the upper and lower burrs.
    • Once upper burr is removed, use included brush to remove any left over ground coffee from the upper burr then use the brush to remove any coffee build up in the lower burr chamber.
    IMPORTANT: Never try to remove the lower burr! Note: Oily roasts may require more frequent cleaning of burrs.
