CALIBRATE FUNCTIONAdvance FeaturesYour Grind Control coffee brewer is equippedwith some advanced features that usuallyonly need to be used occasionally. These areoutlined below:ADJUSTING THE GRINDERYour Grind Control coffee brewer is fittedwith Adjustable Stainless Steel burrs. Theseflat burrs deliver a coffee particle of optimumsize for Drip Filter brewing. You may need toadjust the grind size to compensate for coffeeof different origins, quality, age and degree ofroast. Grind setting 3 should cover most coffeesyou purchase but there are circumstances thatrequire the grind size to be adjusted.We recommend you visually assess the grindsize first. This can only be done by grindingsome coffee and assessing the size. For smallercup volumes (10oz) a finer grind will work best(setting 2-3) for larger cup volumes (12 cupcarafe) a medium-coarse grind will work best(setting 3-5), but these are heavily dependenton many factors.We suggest only making one adjustment at atime & determine its affects by brewing andtasting.To adjust, turn the Grind Adjustment diallocated through the bean hopper lid, in thedirection of the arrow to effect a coarser orfiner grind. The LCD will display your grindsetting when you turn the dial. Turn thedial slowly until the Grind Size number isdisplayed.NOTEA grind size of between 2 and 4 should besuitable for most coffee origins & brew sizes. Ifusing this range and your coffee is not tastingas expected, check the freshness of your beans.Also ensure the coffee basket and carafe areclean.16This function is used to adjust the grinderoutput times to compensate for coffee beans ofdifferent origins, age and degree of roast andgrind size. To use this function you will requirea set of precision scales with a resolution of1 gram. When using this function the machinewill require you to weigh the amount of outputfrom the grinder after it runs for 10 secs.We recommend you set the grind size yourequire first. This can only be done by grindingsome coffee and visually assessing to the size.For smaller cup volumes (10 oz), a finer grind(2-3) works best; for larger cup volumes (12 cupcarafe), a medium coarse grind (3-5) works best.1.

coffee brewer we recommend using quality freshly roasted whole bean coffee & grind right before you brew. Coffee is at its peak flavor potential 5-20 days after roasting. Always buy coffee with a "Roasted On" date printed on the bag and avoid buying coffee with a "Best Before" or "Use By" date, as you never know when it was roasted.
