USING YOUR OSTER® BURR MILL
®
The Oster burr mill features 16 grinding settings, from very
fine to coarse. The coffee burr mill minimizes heat generation
in the grinding process by using opposing burrs to crush the
whole beans to a uniform grind, preserving the unique flavour
of your favourite coffee. To use:
1. Fill the whole bean hopper with fresh coffee beans and
close the lid to preserve freshness
2. Select the number of cups of coffee you will be brewing,
from 1 to 12 (adjusted to 5 oz. cups), with the TIMER
SETTING KNOB. To obtain the best cup of coffee or
espresso, grind only the amount of coffee you will use
immediately. The timer is programmed to grind the
4
use
number of cups indicated for an automatic drip coffee maker using a
medium grind, unless otherwise indicated.
3. Press the START button.
4. While the machine is ON, rotate the GRIND SETTING KNOB to
select your preferred coffee grind setting (see Grind Setting Chart). If
you turn the grind setting knob to the right, the grind will be progres-
sively coarser at each point. As you familiarize yourself with the mill,
you will discover which settings best suit your coffee-making prefer-
ences. For best results always select the grind setting while the unit is
running or when the whole bean hopper is empty.
5. The appliance’s timer will shut off the burr mill when you have ground
the desired amount of beans. If the ground coffee chamber is not cor-
rectly seated while the mill is operating, the auto-off switch will shut
off the appliance.
6. When grinding is complete, pull out the ground coffee chamber and
remove the lid (Figure 1). Ground coffee can be easily poured from the
chamber.
7. Any beans older than 1 week should be removed from the hopper.
8. To ensure freshness, coffee beans should preferably be stored in the
refrigerator, tightly closed in their original bag or can.

1. The amount of whole coffee beans required is about the same as the
specified quantity of medium ground tablespoons.
2. The unit will work for about 1 minute if you have selected the 12 cups
setting.
3. The unit may be stopped during grinding by:
a. The user – you may change the timer setting to avoid overfilling the
ground coffee chamber before resuming operation
b. Opening the hopper lid during operation – check that you have enough
beans. Close the lid and adjust the timer setting to avoid overfilling the
ground coffee chamber before resuming operation.
c. An out of position ground coffee chamber – check that it is not full.
Close the lid, place it in the correct position and adjust the timer setting
to avoid overfilling the ground coffee chamber before resuming opera-
tion.
Avoid overfilling the ground coffee chamber. This can cause the unit motor
to overheat and break a thermal fuse inside the mill, possibly damaging the
unit permanently.
HELPFUL GRINDING HINTS
You may customize the above bean quantity recommendations as you famil-
®
iarize yourself with your new Oster burr mill, but always bear in mind the
following:
1. Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automatic
drip coffee maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or
the brew basket. Also, the taste of the coffee might be stronger than
desired. If this happens, use less coffee grounds or change the grind set-
ting to medium or to whichever setting is necessary to obtain the
desired result.
2. Using coarser grounds than required for brewing coffee in an automat-
ic drip coffee maker might cause an overflow of the paper filter and/or
the brew basket. Also, the taste of the coffee might be weaker than
desired. If this happens, use more coffee grounds to obtain the desired
result. For a regular or stronger cup of coffee, adjust the grind setting
to a medium to fine setting.
6
use
3. If a finer setting is required to brew espresso or cappuccino, please grind
the amount of coffee grounds recommended by your product manufac-
turer.
®
a. For Oster Espresso products:
1) Set the burr mill to Fine grind
2) For 2 oz. of espresso coffee, 2 tsp (0.6 tbsp) of fine grind are
required. Set the Timer to 3 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough
time to grind the finer grounds required.
3) For 4 oz. of espresso coffee, 4 tsp (1.3 tsp) of fine grind are required.
Set the Timer to 5 cups, this will keep the unit On enough time to
grind the finer grounds required.
b. Using improper medium or coarse coffee grinding settings might affect
the taste of the brewed espresso coffee, because the optimum coffee
extraction is not achieved. If you like a strong cup of espresso, make
sure the grind setting is fine.
4. If a coarser setting is required to brew coffee manually, in a percolator
or using a coffee press, grind the amount of coffee grounds recommend-
ed by your product manufacturer.
®
a. The Oster division recommends that you:
1) Set the burr mill to a coarse grind setting.
2) Set the Timer to 8-10 cups, this will keep the unit ON enough time to
grind enough coffee for 12 cups of brewed coffee.
3) Given that coarse grounds will take up more volume, always set the
timer for 2-4 cups less than the amount desired.
b. Remember, you can customize the recommendations above as you dis-
cover which setting best meets your personal coffee-making preference.
As in the case of automatic drip coffee makers,
1) Using an excessive amount of coffee grounds for brewing coffee in a
percolator might cause an overflow of the percolator brew basket.
2) Using finer grounds than required for brewing coffee manually in a
percolator, or using a coffee press, might cause an overflow of the
percolator brew basket and/or the taste of the coffee might be
stronger than desired. If you want a regular or weaker cup of coffee,
adjust the grind setting to a medium to coarse setting.

FOR BEST RESULTS
1. Use only coffee beans in this appliance.
2. Select grind setting while the mill is running or when the hopper is
empty.
3. The ground coffee chamber and its lid should always be in place when
using this appliance.
4. Do not leave the appliance unattended when grinding. The ground coffee
chamber cannot hold the full contents of the whole bean hopper. Be sure
to shut the appliance off if the ground coffee chamber is full.
5. Do not use the finest setting when grinding coffee for your automatic
drip coffee maker. The finer grounds could cause the coffee basket to
overflow.
6. To avoid overheating the motor, do not grind more than 2 full whole
bean hoppers or 2 full 12-cup cycles without a break. Allow the motor to
cool to room temperature at least 2 minutes between cycles.
7. Flavoured coffee beans will gum up the burrs and leave an oily residue
when stored in the whole bean hopper for longer periods of time. Be sure
to clean your burr mill more frequently when using flavoured beans and
to remove all caked-on coffee particles from your grinder during clean-
ing.
8. Clean after every third use for best performance.
9. After using, open the grinder to the coarsest setting and run empty to
clear the grinding path.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Clean your burr mill before using it for the first time. Then, to ensure optimal
mill function and durability, clean it regularly following these simple
steps.
1. Always unplug your burr mill after use and before cleaning.
2. Open the hopper lid. Empty any whole beans from the hopper.
Remove the top burr mill by rotating it clockwise (Figure 2). For
better results hold the grind setting button while rotating the burr
mill clockwise. This will allow you to clean the grinding wheel and
the grinding compartment.
3. Clean the interior recesses with a soft brush (Figure 3). Note: Never
use water nor any liquid to clean the lower grinding section of this appli-
ance. BRUSH NOT INCLUDED.
4. Wipe the whole bean hopper, its lid and the mill exterior with a
damp cloth.
8
use
5. The ground coffee chamber and lid can be washed in mild detergent
and water. They both are top rack dishwasher safe. Do not immerse
the mill or the whole bean hopper in water or in any other liquid, or
place in dishwasher. Use only non-abrasive cleaners to remove stains.
6. After completely drying the whole bean hopper and top burr mill,
replace the burr mill in position by aligning snaps with receptacle and
rotating counterclockwise to lock it in position. For better results, hold
the grind setting button while rotating the burr mill counterclockwise.
Once the burr mill is in position, pull gently to check it is properly
locked in position. If the burr mill comes out, repeat this step again.
7. Replace the ground coffee chamber and lid, making sure both snap
securely into place.
8. Fill the hopper with whole beans.
