Your KRUPS Chrome Touch coffee grinder allows you to grind your own coffee beans
right in your own home. With such a variety of coffee beans available in supermarkets
and gourmet shops, owning the Chrome Touch is sophisticated and economical. The best
result, however, is that you get fresh coffee, every time!
Light roasted beans seem to be the most popular in North America, and dark roasts have
been associated more with the heavier coffees, such as Espresso and Turkish. These dark
roast, however, can also be brewed for "regular" coffee.
Coffee beans are also categorized as straight coffees or blends. The straight coffees consist
of beans from a single area; blend consist of beans from several areas, which sometimes
results in a superior coffee combination.
The best way to familiarize yourself with coffee is to purchase small quantities of several
different varieties. Eventually, you will learn which beans and blends suit your personal
taste. Perhaps you will soon start blending your own "house brands"!
„ Place the base unit (d) on a sturdy counterhop.
„ Fill the grinding chamber (c) 1/2 to 3/4 with coffee beans (1).
„ To calculate the amount of coffee beans to use, keep in mind that whole coffee beans
yield the approximate equivalent in ground coffee (i.e. 1/4 cup beans = approx. 1/4 cup
ground coffee).
„ Place the lid (a) on the base and turn clockwise until firmly locked in place (2).
„ Plug in the chrome Touch. To start grinding, press the power button (b) (3). The power will
only stay on as long as the button is pressed.
„ The degree of fineness you desire will decide how long you should grind. For example, a
coarse grind would require less grinding time than a find grind.
CAUTION
Wait until the blades have completely stopped before removing lid. Grinder should be
unplugged before removing lid.
„ When grinding is complete, unplug the unit. Turn the lid couterclockwise to remove the lid
and pour the ground coffee into a bowl or cannister. If you are grinding a large amount of
beans, store the coffee in an airtight container.
„ The cord can be wrapped around the base of the grinder for storage (4).
