6. Set the fineness selector to the desired setting (see Section "Guidelines for
Fineness Selector Settings").
CAUTION: Never change the fineness selector setting while grinding!
7. Push down on the On/Off button for 2 seconds to start your Capresso
grinder. The grinder will begin grinding the whole bean coffee directly into the
ground coffee container. It will stop automatically.
Attention: Beans may stick to the wall of the bean container, preventing
them from falling into the burrs. You will hear a high-pitched noise from the
motor when this happens. Gently shake the grinder so that the beans slide
down into the burrs.
Note: If you need to turn the grinder off before the grinding cycle is finished,
simply push the On/Off button.
8. Be sure to unplug the appliance after every use.
Note: Coffee beans can stay in the bean container for up to 1 week before
they will start to lose their aroma.

NOTE: The fineness settings are approximate guidelines. When using dark, oily
beans, use a coarser grind; with light, dry beans, use a finer grind.
ATTENTION: For espresso pump machines: if your espresso brews too fast, try
a finer setting. If your espresso brews too slowly, try a coarser setting than the
ones recommended above.
NOTE: The finer the grind setting, the longer it takes to grind a certain amount
of coffee.
Grinding Tips
• Never grind in advance, only grind the amount of coffee you will use. Ground
coffee loses aroma and flavor quickly and attracts other odors.
• Do not grind for more than one minute at a time. Let machine cool down for
5 minutes before grinding again.
• Empty the ground coffee container before it is completely full, otherwise
ground coffee can back up into the grinding chute (1.8) and block the grinding
mechanism.
• Before removing the ground coffee container, tap the machine a few times.
This will relieve some of the static build-up which occurs during grinding.
