• An out of position grind chamber – check that it is not full. Close the
lid, place it in the correct position and adjust the timer setting to avoid
overlling the grind chamber before resuming operation.
CAUTION! Avoid overlling the Grind Chamber past the MAX line. This
can cause the unit motor to overheat and break a thermal fuse inside the
mill, possibly damaging the unit permanently.
NOTE: If all Bean Hopper and Grind Chamber parts are not tightly in place
correctly, the safety switches within the machine will not allow the grinder
to work. You MUST have all parts in place to safely use the Burr Grinder.
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 ner grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic drip
coffee maker might cause an overow of the paper lter and/or the brew
basket. Also, the taste of the coffee might be stronger than desired. If this
happens, use less 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 overow of the paper lter 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
ne setting.
3. When a ner 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 ne grind are required.
Set the Timer to 3 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind
the ner grounds required.
- For 4 oz. of espresso coffee, 4 tsp (1.3 tbsp) of ne grind are required.
Set the Timer to 5 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to grind
the ner 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 ne.
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.
NOTE: Remember, you can customize the recommendations above as
you discover which setting best meets your personal coffee-making
preference. As in the case of automatic drip coffee makers,
• Using an excessive amount of coffee grounds for brewing coffee in a
percolator might cause an overow of the percolator brew basket.
• Using ner grounds than required for brewing coffee manually in a
percolator, or using a French Press, might cause an overow 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 nest setting when grinding coffee for your automatic drip
coffeemaker. The ner grounds could cause the coffee basket to overow.
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 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 grinder back in and use 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 of time.
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 in the
bean hopper for extended periods of time.
