How Things Work Grinding fresh whole bean coffee immediately before brewing is the first step to achieving the best tasting coffee at home. Ground coffee interacts with the air around it and, within hours, loses a great deal of flavor and aroma. The longer the ground coffee is exposed to air the more flavor is lost and the rich, full-bodied taste of the coffee cannot be obtained. Advanced Technology Capressos conical burrs are produced as matched pairs and are hand assembled in Switzerland for precise fit. Computer-controlled, special grinding heads cut the angles and shapes of the steel burrs to within 0.1 mm precision (1/250 of one inch).
The multiple gear motor produces the slowest grinding action ( Tips for Use
- The Infinity Plus Conical Burr Grinder will only grind when the red indicator on the bean container points to one of the fineness settings. Turn the selector knob and grinding starts instantly.
- Turning the bean container marking (red line) outside of the fineness settings will stop the grinding immediately. Turning it back to the desired fineness will resume grinding if the selector knob is still running (pulse grinding).
- Make sure the bean container is empty before removing it from the base otherwise beans will scatter around.
