HINTS & TIPS
HINTS & TIPS
HINTS & TIPS
• Fresh grinds are the key to making coffee with more flavour and body.
• Coffee flavour and strength is a personal preference. Vary the type of coffee beans, amount of coffee and fineness of grind to achieve the flavour you prefer.
• Use freshly roasted coffee beans, preferably with a ‘roasted on’ date.
• Store coffee beans in a dark, cool and dry place. Vacuum seal if possible.
• Buy in small batches to reduce the storage time and store no more than one week’s supply at any time.
• Once coffee is ground it quickly loses its flavour and aroma. For the best results grind beans immediately before brewing.
• Do not store beans in the bean hopper for a prolonged period.
• When storing appliance, run grinder empty to clear of ground beans left in chamber.
• Run grinder for 2 seconds before each use for maximum freshness.
• Clean the bean hopper and conical burrs regularly.
