FAQs
What is the capacity of the grinder?
The grinder is designed to prepare coffee for up to 12 cups, with adjustable settings to control the grind size.
Are the cappuccino glasses dishwasher safe?
The hand-blown borosilicate cappuccino glasses are best washed by hand with mild soap and warm water to ensure their longevity and prevent damage. They are generally not recommended for dishwasher use.
How do I clean the stainless steel knock box?
The knock box can typically be washed by hand with soap and water. The stainless steel surface is durable, but avoid abrasive cleaning materials that could scratch the finish. Ensure it is dried completely.
Can the grinder be used for espresso?
Yes, the electric grinder features adjustable settings, allowing you to select a grind size suitable for espresso preparation, alongside other brewing methods.
What material is the knock box made of?
The knock box is made of stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish and features a shock-absorbing non-slip base.
How many glasses are included in the set?
The set includes two hand-blown borosilicate cappuccino glasses.
Is the grinder suitable for grinding oily beans?
While the grinder is designed for general use, very oily beans can sometimes clog grinders. It's recommended to clean the grinder burrs regularly, especially after grinding oily beans, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Troubleshooting
Grinder not turning on
Ensure the grinder is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if there is a safety switch or mechanism that needs to be engaged.
Uneven coffee grind
Adjust the grinder settings to a coarser or finer level. Ensure the bean hopper is filled correctly and not overpacked. Clean the grinding burrs if they appear clogged.
Knock box sliding during use
Ensure the knock box is placed on a clean, dry, and level surface. The non-slip base should provide adequate grip on most kitchen countertops. If issues persist, consider a slightly damp cloth under the base for added friction.
Cappuccino glasses feel fragile
Handle the borosilicate glasses with care, as hand-blown glass can be more delicate than standard glassware. Avoid sudden temperature changes and clean them gently by hand.
Coffee grounds overflowing from knock box
Empty the knock box more frequently, especially after brewing multiple shots. Ensure the portafilter is tapped firmly but not excessively against the knock bar.
