*French press machines require a coarse grind. For optimum results, process 

beans continuously until desired grind size is achieved.

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 time 

results 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.

4.  The Suggested Grinding Chart 

shows recommended grinding times 

at various levels for automatic drip 

coffee makers and French press 

machines.

5.  A scale is provided inside the bowl 

for the KitchenAid recommended 

amount of beans to grind for 4, 8, 10, 

and 12 cups of coffee. Fill the bowl 

to your desired cup size wth 4 cups 

minimum or 12 cups maximum level. 

Various bean blends and bean sizes 

can cause differences in fill level and 

grind times.
