Grinding for Espresso/
Cappuccino
The Krups Chrome touch (F408) is acceptable
for grinding beans for boiler type espresso
machines. We do not recommend using the
Chrome Touch to grind beans for use with
pump espresso machines. Pump espresso
machines require a disc type grinder such as
the KRUPS «II Barista» ref 220 or a similar,
professional style espresso grinder. This type
of grinder will prevent coffee dust which can
impede the flow of water throught the
espresso machine.

Grinding Coffee

Grinding time depends on how coarse or fine
a grind you desire. We do not recommend
grinding coffee longer than 20 seconds.
Longer use will not result in a finer grind, but
in overheated coffee. As a result coffee will
lose its flavor.
Cleaning
Keeping your Chrome Touch clean is essential
in achieving optimal taste results. Most coffee
beans contain oils that may, over time,
become stronger in flavor and could affect the
taste oy your coffee.
Be sure that grinder is unplugged before
cleaning!
