Grinding Tips - KitchenAid BCG100 Instructions Manual

1. Grind only beans you will immediately
use for freshest tasting coffee.
2. Adjust amount of coffee beans
and grinding time to suit your own
personal taste. Shorter grinding time
results in coarser grinds. Longer
grinding times result in finer grinds,
but can overheat the coffee grinds and
valuable coffee flavors can be lost. (For
optimum grinding results, do not pulse
top cover.)
3. To ensure superior coffee taste,
KitchenAid does not recommend the
use of this grinder for the grinding
of herbs and spices. Leftover residues
could remain inside the bowl, which
could interfere with the flavor of your
coffee. In addition, grinding certain
spices, such as nutmeg and whole
peppercorns, may result in minor
abrasions to the polycarbonate cover.
4. KitchenAid does not recommend using
this grinder to grind beans for pump
espresso type machines.
5. The Suggested Grinding Chart (right)
shows recommended grinding
times at various levels for automatic
drip coffee makers and french press
machines.
