Components

Familiarize yourself with the main components of your OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder:

• Bean Hopper: The top container where whole coffee beans are loaded. It features a UV-blocking tint to help preserve freshness and flavor. The large removable hopper holds up to 1 pound of coffee beans.
• Conical Burrs: Located beneath the hopper, these stainless steel burrs are responsible for grinding the coffee beans uniformly.
• Grind Size Selector: A rotating ring below the hopper that allows you to choose from 15 grind size settings, from fine to coarse, plus micro-adjustments.
• Timer Dial: A dial on the front of the unit to set the grinding duration. The one-touch start feature remembers your last setting.
• Grounds Container: The removable stainless steel container at the bottom that collects the ground coffee. It is designed to reduce static cling and spills.
• Base: The main unit housing the motor and controls.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Clean: Before first use, wash the bean hopper lid, bean hopper, and grounds container with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. The main unit (base) should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.
3. Assemble:
   • Place the grounds container securely into its slot on the base.
   • Ensure the conical burrs are properly seated in the base.
   • Place the bean hopper onto the base, aligning it correctly. Twist to lock it into place if applicable (refer to visual indicators on the unit). A trap door stops beans from spilling when the hopper is removed.
   • Place the bean hopper lid on top of the hopper.
4. Position: Place the assembled grinder on a stable, flat, and dry surface.

Operating Instructions

1. Fill Hopper: Open the bean hopper lid and pour whole coffee beans into the hopper. Do not overfill. The hopper can hold up to 1 pound of beans.
2. Select Grind Size: Rotate the grind size selector ring to your desired setting. The grinder offers 15 main settings, from 'Fine' (for espresso) to 'Coarse' (for French press or cold brew), with micro-adjustments in between.

3. Set Grinding Time: Use the timer dial to select the desired grinding duration. The grinder remembers your last setting, so you only need to adjust it if you want a different amount.
4. Start Grinding: Press the timer dial to begin grinding. The grinder will automatically stop once the set time has elapsed.
5. Collect Grounds: Once grinding is complete, carefully remove the grounds container from the base. The static-fighting stainless steel container helps reduce cling and spills.
