ADVANCED FEATURES

ADVANCED FEATURES
Your Grind Control™ coffee brewer is equipped
with some advanced features that usually
only need to be used occasionally. These are
outlined below:

ADJUSTING THE GRINDER

Your Grind Control™ coffee brewer is fitted
with Adjustable Stainless Steel burrs. These
flat burrs deliver a coffee particle of optimum
size for Drip Filter brewing. You may need to
adjust the grind size to compensate for coffee
of different origins, quality, age and degree of
roast. Grind setting 3 should cover most coffees
you purchase but there are circumstances that
require the grind size to be adjusted.
We recommend you visually assess the grind
size first. This can only be done by grinding
some coffee and assessing the size. For smaller
cup volumes (10oz) a finer grind will work best
(setting 2-3) for larger cup volumes (12 cup
carafe) a medium-coarse grind will work best
(setting 3-5), but these are heavily dependent
on many factors.
We suggest only making one adjustment at a
time & determine its affects by brewing and
tasting.
To adjust, turn the Grind Adjustment dial
located through the bean hopper lid, in the
direction of the arrow to effect a coarser or
finer grind. The LCD will display your grind
setting when you turn the dial. Turn the
dial slowly until the Grind Size number is
displayed.
NOTE
A grind size of between 2 and 4 should
be suitable for most coffee origins & brew
sizes. If using this range and your coffee
is not tasting as expected, check the
freshness of your beans. Also ensure the
coffee basket, grinding chute and carafe
are clean.

CALIBRATE FUNCTION
This function is used to adjust the grinder
output times to compensate for coffee beans of
different origins, age and degree of roast and
grind size. To use this function you will require
a set of precision scales with a resolution of
1 gram. When using this function the machine
will require you to weigh the amount of output
from the grinder after it runs for 10 secs.
We recommend you set the grind size you
require first. This can only be done by grinding
some 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 cup
carafe), a medium coarse grind (3-5) works best.
1. Set the Grind Size.
2. Ensure there is enough beans in the
hopper.
3. Ensure you have the Gold Tone filter or
paper filter in the coffee basket.
4. Ensure the coffee basket is fitted to the
Swing Out door & the door is closed.
5. Press the MENU|EXIT button.
6. Rotate the STRENGTH Dial to
Calibrate.
7. Press the STRENGTH Dial to start
the grinder.
8. When the grinder has stopped, open
the Swing Out door.
9. Weigh the ground coffee.
10. Rotate the STRENGTH Dial to match
the weighed coffee amount.
11. Press the STRENGTH Dial to accept.
The grinder output is now re-calibrated to
match your coffee beans origin, age and degree
of roast. You can now experiment with different
strength settings & grind size adjustments until
you achieve the taste you require.
