I grind my coffee at Costco on the first setting for drop.I use four scoops for the full 12 cups and it is always delicious. I am very diligent about replacing the filters every 3 to 4 months. This is a great coffee maker.

This machine does not grind the coffee beans. You must use a separate grinder.

We had the beans ground for auto drip in our local coffee shop. We no longer own the Krups unit though - the catch on the lid broke and would no longer stay shut. Got tired of putting a heavy can on top of it so bought a Capresso which we love.

I use unbleached filters and throw them away. I don't use the permanent filter.

I use a burr grinder and grind pretty fine, but then I grind the beans just before brewing. In re Krups, however, I'm through with buying any more of their Chinese-manufactured machines - their quality control is terrible in my experience.

1) Be sure to use coarsely ground coffee - either grind it yourself or in the store but it must be coarse - not the relatively find grind in pre ground coffee in tins 2) I suspect you can find a manual online (it is quite brief) if you cannot find it I will scan and pdf the 3 important pages and send them

You should set the grind setting the furthest notch to the left (percolator). French Press grind is the most course coffee grind. If you try to use anything finer, it will produce more sediment in your coffee as the strainer will not be able to catch the grinds.

What looks like a spout is actually the button that is pushed down to grind the beans (hold button down 10 seconds for stronger coffee and less for milder coffee). The round dome lifts off and you pick up the base (same as most other grinders) and pour the coffee grinds out -- a good coffee brush helps with this. This is our 4th coffee grinder in the past 25 years and I like it the best. I have had different brands and they all perform basically the same way, even burr coffee grinders.

Like all coffee grinders that I have owned, I use a brush to get any remaining coffee grinds out--then a paper towel is good for wiping clean. I dampen the paper towel just a little, and it comes very clean.

The way this works is you make a mixture of coffee grounds and hot water. After stirring and waiting (about 4 - 5 mins), you "press" down the included metal filter, leaving you with a layer of coffee grounds on the bottom, and coffee on top. Some grounds slip through the filter, so it results in a thicker or heavier coffee. You can then pour the coffee out the spout.

The knob in the bean bin sets the grind. Finer grind = stronger coffee. Less water, obviously does as well.

Try grinding your coffee finer. The brew will be stronger without having to increase the amount of coffee.

Open top cover; remove basket for grounds & put amount of grounds in for how much coffee you want to brew. Put water in brew station and pour water in back up to the points where it tells you how many cups; put cover back on and press on/off button on top left side. The brew station buzzes when coffee is done; place cup in front and just press in on lever in front for coffee to come out. I'll be happy to answer any other questions. Hope this helps!

Use good espresso beans for starters. Beyond that, adjust the grind (but only when the grinder is operating) to level 1-3 (finest is 1) and move the flavor control knob on the front of the unit to maximum.

Use coarser grind of coffee to avoid problems. Burr grinders allow you to adjust the actual size of the grind; little single blade grinders depend on your timing and shaking the grinder - and do not produce a consistent result. You may still get a tiny bit of sediment if you pour to the last drop, but it will settle to the bottom of the cup.

I use a grind just slightly finer than for normal drip coffee. I then wet all the grounds with minimal water and let sit for 30 seconds. Then I very slowly pour the water over the coffee again raising the level in the filter overall just an inch at max. Coffee will bloom while doing so, and I alter the pour pattern to evenly wash over the entire bloom "crust". This makes a great cup of coffee for me.

One. I grind a bit coarser than an open-bottom cone, or else it drains too slowly.If your cone is draining too quickly, grind your coffee more finely.

Try pulsing your coffee beans at five-second intervals. It should take no more than 8-20 seconds depending on the quantity of beans you are grinding. For French press coffee, the grains should look coarse like potting soil. I use a one tablespoon using a measuring spoon rather than a generic spoon. At maximum capacity, the Bodum bistro blade grinder can grind up to six-tablespoons. I use one tablespoon of whole beans per one cup of water, but these brewing proportions are for manual drip coffee which requires finer-grains of coffee and faster and smoother flavor release time while coarse-grain granules require more time to brew and/or likely more coffee beans.

I have found the link below helpful on the grind setting for each method. I tweak it based on my liking and coffee properties.http://www.thecoffeechaser.com/a-guide-to-grinding-your-beans/

As for cleaning; After I finish grinding the coffee beans, I use the little broom/brush (that comes attached to the side of the grinder) to get all the grinds out. That's it! I could use a damp paper towel to wipe it out if I were to grind other things, but I just do coffee. :)

Yes you can adjust the grind level. It's very simple. It takes a few minutes of trial and error to find the grind you need. It would take less than 5 minutes to grind enough coffee for two small cups.
