Getting Started; Using The Coffee Mill - COURANT CBG-1600 Manual De Usuario

GETTING STARTED

Prior to using your coffee mill for the first time, you should wipe the hopper with a
damp cloth. Place the coffee mill on a level surface and on your kitchen counter, and
plug into an AC outlet with the correct voltage.
Since the coffee mill is not designed to be used with previously ground coffee, you
should have already purchased coffee beans, and you should have them ready. To
keep the beans fresh, you should pour them into an airtight container after they are
brought home.
The coffee mill is not designed to hold more than 1 ounce of beans, so using a kitchen
scale, weigh out the proper amount, and then put the beans into a utensil for the
purpose. Take note of the amount in terms of volume; you will typically be weighing
out just over 1/8 of a cup, and there are 2 ounce cups that are sold in the store that
can be used in the future for this purpose. You can also use 3 ounce cups, provided
that you do not fill them to the top.

USING THE COFFEE MILL

• Remove the mill cover.
• Pour the desired quantity of coffee beans into the mill well, being careful not to
exceed 1 ounce, or more specifically, 26 grams.
Place the cover back on the mill. Note: the mill will not work without its cover
•
and/or if it is not seated properly.
• To start the mill, press the on/off button at 5-10 second intervals, until you have
obtained the desired level of fineness. For coarse grinds, grind between 5 and 10
seconds; for fine grinds, 10 to 15 seconds.
• After grinding, wait until the blades stop before removing the cover.
• Remove the cover to pour out the ground coffee into your coffee machine
basket.
• Note that there will be some residual ground coffee remaining in the coffee
well. If you are using the coffee mill daily, you can leave that ground coffee
there under its airtight cover. However, if you are not going to be using the mill
for a long period of time, and you want to clean the mill before the next use,
disconnect the mill from the outlet, and then, using a damp cloth or paper
towel, wipe the well.
• After usage, if you don't want the mill to remain on the counter, unplug the
device and re-wind the cord into the cord collector.
