RINDING

 T

IPS

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 with 4 cups minimum or 
12 cups maximum level. Various bean 
blends and bean sizes can cause 
differences in fill level and grind times.
