BEFORE FIRST USE  
Before first use, carefully unpack your CAPRESSO coffee grinder and  
remove all packaging materials.  
• Wipe the base, lid, and bean container with a clean, damp cloth.  
• Allow to dry completely before use.  
To remove any dust that may have accumulated on the removable  
parts during packaging, wash the ground coffee container (and lid)  
and the lid of the bean container with a warm water and mild liquid  
soap solution. Rinse and dry. Do not use harsh or abrasive agents to  
clean these parts.  
Caution: Do not immerse grinder or the removable grinding wheel (K) in  
water.  
Caution: Do not place the ground coffee container, its lid, or the bean  
container lid in the dishwasher.  
USING THE GRINDER  
Caution: Always make sure that the ground coffee container lid (G) is  
properly in place. If the lid is not properly placed onto the ground coffee  
container (F), ground coffee can blow out of the ground coffee container (F)  
during grinding.  
INITIAL USE - IMPORTANT  
During manufacturing, the grinding wheels (K) are installed so that they  
touch initially. The grinder will not function properly while the wheels  
are touching each other. To avoid grinding with the wheels touching  
each other proceed as follows:  
For first-time grinding: Check to make sure that the bean container (B)  
is empty, clean and dry, and free of any foreign objects.  
Plug in the grinder. Set the fineness selector (C) to number "9." Fill the

bean container with 3 to 4 tablespoons of coffee beans. Set the grind  
amount selector (I) to approximately number "4." Make sure the ground  
coffee container (F) with its lid (G) is in place. Push the on-button (J).  
Repeat the same procedure in a different fineness position (e.g. number  
"3"). You are now ready to begin using your grinder regularly.  
GRINDING  
1. Place your Capresso Burr Grinder on a flat, level surface such as a  
countertop.  
2. Place the cover of the ground coffee container on the ground coffee  
container (F). Note: If the cover of the ground coffee container is not  
secured correctly, ground coffee can blow out of the ground coffee  
container during grinding, spreading grinds over your countertop.  
Place the ground coffee container with its lid into the grinder until it  
snaps into place.  
3. Plug the grinder into an outlet.  
4. Fill the bean container (B) with coffee beans and replace the lid. The  
bean container can hold up to 8 ounces of coffee beans. Note: Only  
coffee beans should be filled into the bean container. Never fill any  
of the following into the bean container: sugar-coated beans, syrups  
or other coatings, and instant coffee. Never fill water or any other  
liquid into the bean container.  
5. Set the grind amount selector (I) to the number of cups of coffee you  
want to grind for by sliding the grind amount selector (I) above the  
correct number. These numbers are to be used as a guide. The  
amount of ground coffee varies quite a bit depending on how coarse  
or fine you grind and whether you use light, dry beans or dark, oily  
beans. After grinding a few times, you will find the correct grind  
amount position for the amount of coffee you want to grind.  
6. Set the fineness selector (C) to the desired setting (see Section  
"Guidelines for Fineness Selector Settings"). Caution: Never change  
the fineness selector setting while grinding!  
7. Push the On-Button (J) to start your Capresso grinder. The grinder  
will begin, grinding the 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, slide the grind amount selector to the "OFF" position.  
8. Be sure to unplug the appliance after every use.  
Note: Coffee beans can stay in the bean container for up to 2 weeks  
before they will start to lose their aroma.

* please follow the instructions of your french press coffee maker (after pouring water over  
the ground coffee, stir thoroughly to prevent the ground coffee from clogging)  
** The fineness settings are approximate guidelines. When using dark, oily beans, use the  
higher numbers of the recommended range; with light, dry beans, use the lowers numbers  
in the range. Attention: for espresso pump machines: if your espresso brews too fast, try a  
lower fineness setting. If your espresso brews too slowly, try a higher fineness setting than  
the ones recommended above.  
CLEANING  
Always unplug your coffee grinder before cleaning.  
• Remove the ground coffee container, its lid, and the bean container lid 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 spout (H) with a household brush or  
a small plastic tool.  
• Empty the bean container. The clear part of the bean container can be wiped  
on the inside and outside with a damp cloth.  
• The base 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.
