If you’re an espresso or French Press aficionado, however, you may wish to adjust the cutting burrs to provide optimum performance for your style of brewing. With adjustment, the PRO LINE™ Series Burr Coffee Mill will easily meet stringent Specialty Coffee Association of America grind-size specifications for espresso (250 micron grind size) or French Press brewing (1500 micron grind size). Adjusting for Maximum Grind Fineness Adjusting the mill to provide maximum fineness will slightly decrease the grind sizes throughout the grinding range. (To adjust the mill to provide coarser grinds, see page 18.) 1. Empty the bean hopper, then run the mill a few seconds to clear any remaining beans from the machine. 2. Turn the grind control dial to level “8”. 16 3. Using a 5.32-inch allen wrench or hex-head screwdriver, remove the screw located in the front of the grind control dial by turning it counter-clockwise. Hold the grind control dial so that it does not rotate as the screw is removed. Once the screw is free, remove the grind control dial. The white grind control gear should be visible once the grind control dial is removed. 4. Turn on the mill by flipping the On/Off Switch to the “On” position. 5. Rotate the grind control gear clockwise 1 “click” or detent at a time until you hear the burrs touching one another – when they touch, the burrs will make a distinct “rubbing” or grating sound. FEATURES AND OPERATION 6. When the burrs are touching, turn the grind control gear counterclockwise 1 “click” or detent. The grating or “rubbing” sound will stop. Turn off the mill by flipping the On/Off Switch to the “Off” position. The mill is now calibrated to provide maximum fineness. Continued… 17 ADJUSTING THE CUTTING BURRS 7. Re-attach the grind control dial, making certain the dial indicator points to grind level “8”. NOTE: If the coffee mill produces a grating or “rubbing” sound during use, the burrs have been improperly adjusted. Damage to the burrs will result. Readjust the burrs immediately. Adjusting to Provide Coarser Grinds When the mill is adjusted to provide coarser grinds, grind sizes will increase throughout the grinding range and the finest level may become too coarse for espresso. (To re-calibrate the grinder for maximum fineness, see page 16.) 1. Turn the grind control dial to level “1”. 2. Using a 5.32-inch allen wrench or hex-head screwdriver, remove the screw located in the front of the grind control dial by turning it counter-clockwise. Once the screw is free, remove the grind control dial.The white grind control gear should be visible once the dial is removed. 3. Rotate the grind control gear counter-clockwise 1 “click” or detent at a time until the “clicking” sound diminishes and the gear offers little resistance to being turned. 4. Re-attach the grind control dial, making certain the dial indicator points to level “1”. 18 PRO LINE™ SERIES BURR COFFEE MILL TIPS 1 Select the correct grind for the brew process you are using. 15 grind levels are available in half-step increments from 1 to 8. Level 8 produces a very fine grind perfect for espresso, 41.2 to 6 are medium grinds appropriate for automatic drip coffee makers, and 1 is a coarse grind suited to French Press brewing. Experiment – your tastes may be better served by using a slightly finer or coarser grind. 2 For standard drip-process coffee, a good starting point is to use 1 ounce of coffee for every 4 cups of brew water as measured with the carafe (a carafe “cup” is about 41.4 ounces). Finer grinds usually require less coffee, but using too fine a grind will result in bitter flavor – see “How the Grind Affects Flavor” on page 21. If you prefer substantially weaker-than-average coffee, it’s best to brew using a normal amount of ground coffee and then dilute the result with hot water. Doing this will maximize flavor and minimize bitterness. FEATURES AND OPERATION Continued… 19 PRO LINE™ SERIES BURR COFFEE MILL TIPS 5 Clean the coffee bin and cutting burrs frequently. 3 Ground coffee loses flavor and aroma very quickly. For the best results, grind only as much as you intend to immediately use. 4 To retain freshness, coffee beans should be stored in an airtight container and kept in a cool, dark place. It is not recommended that you store beans in the grinder’s bean hopper for a prolonged period. 6 Grinding flavored coffee beans will impart an off-taste to any other coffee that is ground in the mill. If you enjoy flavored coffee, it’s best to add flavored syrups or creamers to your coffee after brewing or dedicate another mill for grinding flavored beans only. NOTE: The burrs will require more frequent cleaning when grinding flavored coffee beans.The coffee mill is intended for grinding whole coffee beans only. Do not grind other food items. 20 HOW THE GRIND AFFECTS FLAVOR FEATURES AND OPERATION The flavor of coffee depends on a variety of factors, including the quality, freshness, and roast of the beans, the purity of the brew water, the cleanline...
