we recommend that you try out whatever
suits your own personal taste.

pressing the start button again.
– Once grinding has fi nished, remove
the plug from the wall socket and wait
until the motor has come to a complete
standstill before removing and opening
the collection container.

only the required quantity of beans should
be ground immediately before brewing.
Any excess ground coff ee should be stored
