Hints And Tips Quick Start Grind Settings - Dualit CCG3 Instruction Manual & Guarantee

HINTS AND TIPS
• Grinding coffee is messy and coffee grounds will spill! Using your Grinder on a clean, dry,
flat surface will make it much easier to quickly wipe away spilt grounds straight into your
food waste bin.
• To create as little waste as possible, weigh the exact amount of beans you need to make
your coffee before adding to the Bean Hopper.
• For the perfect espresso, you need a steady flow where 35ml takes between 20-30
seconds to extract. The crema should be thick and not dissipate too quickly.
• If the flow is too quick, producing weak crema, try using a finer grind setting or grinding
more coffee. If the flow is too slow, try a coarser grind setting or less coffee.
• Do not leave coffee in the Bean Hopper; empty into and store in an airtight or vacuum
sealed container.
