Capresso Burr Grinder for Coffee, Disk Type Our most economical way of getting a consistent grind for a wide range of application. With 17 grind settings our Stainless Steel and Black Capresso Burr Grinders are ideal for all coffee applications from espresso-fine to percolator-coarse. Use for pump and boiler espresso machines, French Press, Drip Coffee Makers and Percolators. A special insulated cover lid reduces grinding noise in this full featured grinder. How Things Work Timer: The timer can be set between 8 and 40 seconds. When grinding in the finest position, less coffee per second will pass through the grinder than when grinding in the coarsest setting. Therefore the numbers around the timer do not represent number of cups but serve as a reminder for your personal setting. Remember, you can always stop the grinding process by simply pushing the on/off button. Capresso Coffee Bur Grinder Features: * Unique vertical grinding prevents clogging.
