Helpful grinding hints for best results

You may customize the above bean quantity recommendations as you familiarize yourself with your new Mr. Coffee® Burr Grinder, but always bear in mind the following:

1. Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic drip coffee maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or the brew basket. Also, the taste of the coffee might be stronger than desired.

If this happens, use fewer coffee grounds or change the grind setting to medium or to whichever setting is necessary to obtain the desired result.

2. Using coarser grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic drip coffee maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or the brew basket. Also, the taste of the coffee might be weaker than desired. If this happens, use more coffee grounds to obtain the desired result.

For a regular or stronger cup of coffee, adjust the grind setting to a medium to a fine setting.

3. When a finer setting is required to brew espresso or cappuccino, please grind the amount of coffee grounds recommended by your product manufacturer.

• For Mr. Coffee® Espresso products:

– Set the Burr Grinder to Fine grind.

– For 2 oz. of espresso coffee, 2 tsp (0.6 tbsp) of fine grind is required. Set the Timer to 3 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind the finer grounds required.

– For 4 oz. of espresso coffee, 4 tsp (1.3 tbsp) of fine grind is required. Set the Timer to 5 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind the finer grounds required.

• Using improper medium or coarse coffee grinding settings might affect the taste of the brewed espresso coffee, because the optimum coffee extraction is not achieved. If you like a strong cup of espresso, make sure the grind setting is fine.

4. When a coarser setting is required to brew coffee manually, in a percolator, or using a French Press, grind the amount of coffee grounds recommended by your product manufacturer.

• Mr. Coffee® recommendation: – Set the Burr Grinder to a coarse grind setting.

– Set the timer to 8-10 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind enough coffee for 12 cups of brewed coffee.

– Given that coarse grounds will take up more volume, always set the timer for 2-4 cups less than the amount desired.

• Using an excessive amount of coffee grounds for brewing coffee in a percolator might cause an overflow of the percolator brew basket.

• Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee manually in a percolator, or using a French Press, might cause an overflow of the percolator brew basket, and/or the taste of the coffee might be stronger than desired. If you want a regular or a weaker cup of coffee adjust the grind setting to a medium to coarse setting.

5. Use only coffee beans in this appliance.

6. The Grind Chamber and its lid must always be in place when using this appliance.

7. Do not use the finest setting when grinding coffee for your automatic drip coffeemaker. The finer grounds could cause the coffee basket to overflow.

8. To avoid overheating the motor, do not grind more than 2 full whole bean hoppers or 2 full 12-cup cycles without a break. Allow the motor to cool to room temperature for at least 2 minutes between cycles.

9. If the grinder stops working after running consecutive cycles, unplug the grinder from the wall outlet and allow it to cool for at least an hour. Then plug the grinder back in and use it as needed.

10. Flavored coffee beans will gum up the burrs and leave an oily residue when stored in the whole bean hopper for long periods.

11. Clean after every third use for best performance.

12. After using, open the grinder to the coarsest setting and run empty to clear the grinding path.

NOTE: For optimum freshness of your coffee beans, do NOT store them in the bean hopper for extended periods.
