You may customize the above bean quantity recommendations as you familiarize
yourself with your new Oster
®
Burr Mill, but always bear in mind the following:
1. Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic drip coffee
maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or the brew basket. Also,
the taste of the coffee might be stronger than desired. If this happens, use less
coffee grounds or change the grind setting to medium or to whichever setting is
necessary to obtain the desired result.
2. Using coarser grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic drip
coffee maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or the brew basket.
Also, the taste of the coffee might be weaker than desired. If this happens, use
more coffee grounds to obtain the desired result. For a regular or stronger cup of
coffee, adjust the grind setting to a medium to fine setting.
3. When a finer setting is required to brew espresso or cappuccino, please grind the
amount of coffee grounds recommended by your product manufacturer.
• For Oster
®
Espresso products:
- Set the Burr Mill to Fine grind.
- For 60 g of espresso coffee, 2 tsp (0.6 tbsp) of fine grind are required. Set
the Cup Selection Dial to 3 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to
grind the finer grounds required.
- For 120 g of espresso coffee, 4 tsp (1.3 tbsp) of fine grind are required. Set
the Cup Selection Dial to 5 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to
grind the finer grounds required.
- Using improper medium or coarse coffee grinding settings might affect the
taste of the brewed espresso coffee, because the optimum coffee extraction
is not achieved. If you like a strong cup of espresso, make sure the grind
setting is fine.
4. When a coarser setting is required to brew coffee manually, in a percolator or
using a French Press, grind the amount of coffee grounds recommended by your
product manufacturer.
• Recommendation:
- Set the Burr Mill to a coarse grind setting.
- Set the Cup Selection Dial to 8-10 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough
time to grind enough coffee for 12 cups of brewed coffee.
- Given that coarse grounds will take up more volume, always set the Cup
Selection Dial for 2-4 cups less than the amount desired.
NOTE: Remember, you can customize the recommendations above as you
discover which setting best meets your personal coffee-making preference.
As in the case of automatic drip coffee makers,
- Using an excessive amount of coffee grounds for brewing coffee in a
percolator might cause an overflow of the percolator brew basket.
- Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee manually in a
percolator, or using a French Press, might cause an overflow of the
percolator brew basket and/or the taste of the coffee might be stronger
than desired. If you want a regular or weaker cup of coffee, adjust the grind
setting to a medium to coarse setting.
