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 (H) 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.
CLEANING
Always unplug your coffee grinder before cleaning. We recommend cleaning
your grinder one to two times per week to maintain top efficiency.
• Empty the bean container of any whole beans.
• Remove the ground coffee container (F), ground coffee container lid (G), coffee
bean container (B) and the bean container lid (A) and clean them in a warm
water and mild liquid soap solution. Do not place these items in the dishwasher.
• Remove ground coffee from the grinder chute (H) with the included brush (M)
stored on the back of the machine or a small plastic tool.
• The base (D) of the grinder can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: Never immerse the grinder in water or any other liquid. Do not use
harsh or abrasive materials to clean the coffee grinder.
IMPORTANT: Any servicing other than cleaning and user maintenance should
be performed by an authorized Capresso service representative.
