USING YOUR MR. COFFEE® PRECISION™ COFFEE GRINDER

4. Plug in the unit.
5. Press the Grind Setting Button until the indicator light shows your preferred grind setting. FIGURE 6.

HELPFUL GRINDING HINTS

You may customize the bean quantity recommendations presented as you familiarize yourself with your new MR. COFFEE® Precision™ Coffee Grinder, but always bear in mind the following:

1. Use medium grind for automatic drip coffee makers, fine for espresso, and coarse for French press.
2. Using fine grounds for brewing coffee in automatic drip coffee makers might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or the brew basket. Also, the taste of the coffee to be stronger than desired.
3. Using coarse grounds for brewing coffee in an automatic drip coffee maker might cause the taste of the coffee be weaker than desired.
4. To brew espresso or cappuccino, grind the number of coffee grounds recommended by your product manufacturer.
   1. For Mr. Coffee® Espresso products:
      1. Set the coffee grinder to Fine grind and 4 cups.
      2. Use the chart on page 6 for the recommended amount of coffee grounds.
   2. 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 using the coarse grind setting.
5. If a coarser setting is required to brew coffee manually, in a percolator, or using a French press, grind the number of coffee grounds recommended by your product manufacturer using the coarse grind setting.
6. Remember, you can customize the recommendations above as you discover which settings best meet your personal coffee-making preference.

FOR BEST RESULTS

1. Use only coffee beans in this unit, do not grind nuts or spices.
2. Do not store coffee beans in the grinding chamber.
3. Do not use the finest setting when grinding coffee for your automatic drip coffeemaker. The finer grounds could cause the coffee basket to overflow.
4. To avoid overheating the motor, do not grind more than 2 full 12-cup cycles without a break. Allow the motor to cool at least 5 minutes between cycles.
5. Flavored coffee beans may gum up the blades and leave an oily residue on them. Be sure to clean your grinder more frequently when using flavored beans and to clean all caked-on coffee particles from your grinder during cleaning.
6. Clean unit after every use for best performance.
