- Turn the coffee beans hopper counterclockwise in the body of the grinder to the „locked“ position marked on the body of the appliance so that the arrows on the body of the grinder and the hopper are placed against each other.
- Close the ground coffee container with the lid and put it back in the appliance. When you hear „snap“, the container is correctly placed.
USING THE COFFEE GRINDER
Before connecting the coffee grinder to the mains, make sure that it is properly assembled. If all parts are not properly assembled (especially if the ground coffee container is not seated properly), the coffee grinder will not start.
- Pour in the hopper the coffee beans and close with the lid (see safety instructions)
- Turn the dial to the number of servings to select the amount of ground coffee for 2-12 cups.
- Select the grinding roughness with the rotary knob for adjusting the fineness of the ground beans. For better orientation, there are instructions at the regulator for the grain roughness for the individual types of coffee preparation.
- Connect the coffee grinder to the mains.
- Turn on the coffee grinder by pressing the ON/OFF button.
- When the selected amount of coffee is ground, the appliance switches off automatically. If you want to stop the coffee grinder earlier, press the ON / OFF button again.
Note: For each type of coffee preparation (FRENCH PRESS & PERCOLATOR, DRIP COFFEE/FILTER COFFEE, and ESPRESSO) there are 6 grind settings. For a start, we recommend setting the middle level according to your type of coffee machine. After several uses, you will find the ideal degree of coarseness of the grind
that will suit you.
Attention
- When the coffee grinder is in operation, do not change the already set bean coarseness.
- Do not overfill the hopper beyond the maximum capacity of 240 g, there is a risk of damage to the device.
- Make sure that the ground coffee container does not exceed its capacity of 95 g or there is a risk of damage to the appliance.
- We recommend that you check the coffee before grinding for foreign bodies – such as stone fragments that could damage the coffee grinder.
- Do not leave the coffee grinder running continuously for more than 20 seconds. After this time, switch off the appliance and let it cool down sufficiently before using it again.
Note: The appliance is equipped with a heat fuse, which turns it off automatically in case of overheating. If this happens, unplug the appliance and let it cool down for about 60 minutes before using it again.
TIPS FOR SETTING PROPER GRIND
In addition to the choice of its type or quality, the quantity used, the water temperature, the brewing time, and the correctly selected degree of the grind of the ground beans are also important for the final taste of the coffee.
Amount of coffee
Too little – coffee will be weak.
Too much coffee – the taste of the coffee will be strong, bitter, or
astringent.
Coffee grind and brewing time
The shorter the brewing time the finer you should grind the coffee:
-
Very finely ground coffee ESPRESSO (structure reminds of powder) is suitable for making coffee in
a cezve. -
Finely ground coffee ESPRESSO (the grind reminds of table salt structure) is suitable for lever coffee makers, espresso, and preparation in Aeropress (when preparing 1-2 min.).
-
Medium ground coffee DRIP COFFEE / FILTER COFFEE it is suitable for making drip coffee (filtered / drip coffee) or in Aeropress (with a preparation time of 2-3 min).
-
Medium ground coffee DRIP COFFEE / FILTER COFFEE is suitable for making coffee in a vacuum pot or for Aeropress (when preparing 3 or more minutes).
-
Medium coarse ground coffee FRENCH PRESS & PERCOLATOR It is suitable for making coffee in a mocha pot.
-
Coarsely ground coffee FRENCH PRESS & PERCOLATOR is suitable for preparing coffee in a french press.
We recommend that you consume freshly ground coffee immediately.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before each cleaning. If you grind coffee frequently, we recommend that you clean the coffee grinder at least once a week, as well as when, will not be using it for a long time.
Note: The coffee may discolor the grinder in some way. However, this does not affect the functionality of the Bgrinder and is not a reason for a complaint.
- Widely available cleaners in the form of small granules or in the shape of lentils, which are harmless to health without any trace of odor or taste, can be used to clean the bottom stone. Pour the granules into a coffee grinder and let them grind. Then we recommend grinding a small amount of coffee that you throw away. The coffee is not spoiled in any way, but small white dots (detergent residues) may still remain in it.
- Wash the ground coffee container, the upper grinding stone, the coffee bean hopper, and the lids in warm water with a little detergent, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
- Before removing the grindstone, empty the remaining beans from the appliance. Turn the coffee grinder upside down and tap it lightly. Do not insert any objects into the mechanism, let the beans fall out freely.
- Only then remove the grindstone Wipe with a wet cloth and dry it.
- Wipe the body of the appliance and wipe with a damp cloth or soft sponge with a little common dishwashing detergent and dry thoroughly with a cloth or paper towel. Never immerse the appliance in water.
- Do not use aggressive abrasive cleaners or scourers.
- Before storing the coffee grinder, assemble and store in a dry, clean place.
