Grinding Tips
- Never grind in advance. Only grind the amount of coffee you will use for preparing coffee in the next hour. Ground coffee loses aroma and flavor very Ground coffee also attracts other odors.
- Do not grind for more than one minute at a time. Let the machine cool down for 5 minutes before grinding again.
- Empty the ground coffee container before it is completely full. Otherwise, ground coffee can back up into the grinding chute (I) and block the grinding mechanism.
- Before removing the ground coffee container, tap the machine a few times.
This will relieve some of the static build-ups which occur during grinding.
CLEANING
- Always unplug your coffee grinder before cleaning.
- Remove the ground coffee container, its lid, and the bean container lid and clean them in warm water and mild liquid soap solution. Do not place these items in the dishwasher.
- Remove ground coffee from the grinder shoot (I) with the special cleaning brush included. To most effectively clean, turn the brush by its handle as you ‘snake’ it into the grinder shoot. Repeat this process until the brush comes out without coffee residue.
- Empty the bean container. The clear part of the bean container can be wiped on the inside and outside with a damp cloth.
- The outside of the grinder can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
