6.3 ABOUT COFFEE BEANS
Frozen Beans:
Thaw 3 to 4 hours before adding to bean
container. This prevents moisture from seeping into the grinder.

Oily Beans: Beans with an oily surface tend to stick together.
This may prevent a continuous flow of beans from the bean
container into the burrs. As a result the grinder does not grind
enough coffee and you might get weak or no coffee at all.
Before filling oily beans into the bean container pour the beans
in an open bowl and let them sit for about 5 hours. The oils will
evaporate (this will not change the taste of your coffee). Then fill
the beans into the bean container. Now beans will feed into the
burr grinder more easily.
Flavored Coffee: DO NOT use flavored beans in the grinder!
If you like flavored coffees we recommend to add flavors to your
coffee after brewing. This way you can use your regular coffee
beans in the bean container. Adding the flavors after brewing
lets you control the intensity better than with pre-flavored coffee.
Your local coffee store typically carries a variety of flavors.

6.4 FILLING THE BEAN CONTAINER
Please note:
To insure that your conical burr grinder will work
for a long time, do not use it with any kind of coated or flavored
beans (all coating and flavors contain sugar or sugar substances).
Such coating can damage the burrs. Using such beans voids the
warranty. Have your coffee store grind the sugar coated beans
and use as described in the chapter 11.3.
• Open the Bean Container Lid (Fig. 4). Do not force the lid

further back than the vertical position.

• Remove the bean aroma lid (Fig. 4). The bean container has a

protective slotted cover. This prevents fingers from getting into
the burrs during grinding. This slotted cover can be opened by
loosening the holding screw (Fig. 28) (chapter 20.2). The bean
container has a sensor which monitors the bean level. It will
