COFFEE GRINDING TIPS
1. Grind only beans you will immediately
use for freshest-tasting coffee.
2. Adjust amount of coffee beans and
grinding time to suit your own personal
taste. Shorter grinding times result in
coarser grinds. Longer grinding times
result in finer grinds, but can overheat
the coffee grinds and valuable coffee
flavors can be lost. (For optimum
grinding results, do not pulse top
cover.)
3. KitchenAid does not recommend using
this grinder to grind beans for pump
espresso-type machines.

*French press machines require a coarse grind. For optimum results, process beans
continuously until desired grind size is achieved.
