TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
COFFEE GRINDING TIPS
1. Grind only beans you will immediately
use for freshest-tasting coffee.
2. Adjust amount of coffee beans and
grinding time to suit your own personal
taste. Shorter grinding times result in
coarser grinds. Longer grinding times
result in finer grinds, but can overheat
the coffee grinds and valuable coffee
flavors can be lost. (For optimum
grinding results, do not pulse top cover.)
3. KitchenAid does not recommend using
this grinder to grind beans for pump
espresso-type machines.
For automatic drip coffee makers and French press machines*
Fill to
12-Cup Fill Line
10-Cup Fill Line
8-Cup Fill Line
4-Cup Fill Line
*French press machines require a coarse grind. For optimum results, process beans
continuously until desired grind size is achieved.
CARE AND CLEANING
1. Always unplug Coffee Grinder before
cleaning.
2. Remove the bowl and top cover. Wash
in hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Bowl
and top cover can also be washed in
the dishwasher (top rack only). After
removing from the dishwasher, allow
to cool before reassembling.
3. Wipe the motor housing clean with
a damp, soft cloth.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not
immerse the motor housing in water.

of beans to grind for 4, 8, 10, and 12
cups of coffee. Fill the bowl to your

bean blends and bean sizes can cause
differences in fill level and grind times.
