Lagostina GL300 Notice D'utilisation page 5

Operation
• Place the unit on a sturdy countertop.
• Fill the grinding chamber with the amount of coffee needed for the number of cups
you plan to brew.
• LAGOSTINA recommends 7 grams of ground coffee per 5 oz cup. The whole beans can
be measured with a standard coffee scoop or 1 tablespoon measure. Use one heaping
teaspoon per 5 oz cup of water.
• Place the lid (a) on the grinder base.
• Plug in the grinder. To start grinding, press the power button (fig.2).
• The power will only stay on as long as the button is pressed.
• The coffee will be ground fine or coarse depending on the amount of grinding time.
For example, a coarse grind would require less grinding time than a fine grind.
• When grinding is complete, unplug the unit. Carefully remove the lid and pour the
ground coffee into a bowl or canister, or directly into your coffee machine filter basket.
Caution
Wait until the blades have completely stopped before removing lid. The grinder
should be unplugged before removing the lid.
Keeping your grinder clean is essential to achieve optimal taste results. Coffee beans
contain oils that will collect in the grinder and quickly become stale. The stale oils can
contribute unwanted flavors to your brewed coffee. It is best to clean the unit regularly.
Be sure that grinder is unplugged before cleaning!
• Remove all coffee grounds after each use. A small soft brush or cloth is helpful in
removing ground coffee from lid and blades.
• Wipe inside of grinder lid and blades very carefully with a damp cloth.
• Base unit can be wiped down with a damp cloth. NEVER immerse base unit in water or
any other liquid!
• Lid can be washed in warm water, using a mild detergent, or be placed in the top rack
of the dishwasher and used on gentle cycle.
