DeLonghi Burr Coffee Grinder KG79 Instruction Manual

For your appliance run correctly, make certain
that:
-

the lid to the coffee-bean hopper (2) is cor-
rectly positioned.

-

The ground coffee container (6) and its lid
(7) are correctly placed in the body of the ap-
pliance.

-

It is best to store coffee beans in a cool, dry
place. Beans should be kept in an opaque,
airtight container.

-

Grind the coffee just prior to brewing it.

Advice to select the level of coarseness   of your
ground coffee.
-

Use the coarseness selector knob (Fig. E) to
adjust the grind according to the type of cof-
fee maker.

-

Generally, the quicker the water goes through
the ground coffee, the finer the ground coffee
should be.
A “medium” ground is thus suited to making
filter coffee while a “very fine” ground is nee-
ded to make an Espresso. 

-

For the first use, we suggest that you use an
intermediate position and then adjust the set-
ting to your taste.
Once you have used the appliance a few
times, you will find the ideal grind setting to
suit your taste and brewing method.
