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.
