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.
