FAQs
How do I adjust the grind size?
Use the adjustable dial located on the grinder. Rotate the dial to select your preferred grind level, with lower numbers typically indicating finer grinds and higher numbers indicating coarser grinds.
What is the capacity of the bean hopper and coffee container?
The bean hopper has a capacity of 200g, and the coffee container can hold ground coffee for up to 14 cups (approximately 150g).
Can this grinder be used for Turkish coffee?
While the grinder offers 12 levels, achieving the ultra-fine powder required for Turkish coffee might be challenging. It is best suited for espresso, filter, and cafetière grinds.
How often should I clean the burrs?
It's recommended to clean the burrs after every few uses, or more frequently if you switch between different bean types or grind sizes. Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and flavor.
Is the grinder noisy?
Like most coffee grinders, this model will produce noise during operation. The 200W motor is designed for efficient grinding, aiming to minimize the time the grinder is active.
What is the warranty period?
The Salter Burr Grinder - EK6739 comes with a 3-year guarantee for peace of mind.
Troubleshooting
Grinder not turning on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the bean hopper or coffee container is correctly seated, as some models have safety interlocks.
Inconsistent grind size
Clean the burrs thoroughly as coffee residue can affect performance. Ensure you are not overfilling the hopper, which can strain the motor and lead to uneven grinding.
Motor stops during grinding
Check if the hopper is overfilled or if there's a blockage in the burr chamber. Allow the motor to cool down if it has overheated from continuous use.
Excessive static electricity
Static can be common with grinders. Try grinding slightly larger batches, or gently tap the side of the grinder after use to dislodge grounds. Some users find using slightly older beans can reduce static.
