How to Use: OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder
Words OXOA great cup of coffee starts with the beans and for better results, we say grind your beans at home. Burr grinders create uniform grinds, which results in better flavor.
About Grind Size
Grind size is key to controlling flavor extraction and coffee strength. The finer your coffee grounds, the easier it is for the water to extract flavors because the water soaks into smaller pieces much faster than larger ones. This is why fast-brewing methods like espresso call for a much finer grind size than those that need to steep slowly for the best flavor, like pour-over or French Press. Where an espresso grind should feel like fine table salt, a French press should be closer to coarse Kosher salt, and automatic drip machines, somewhere in the middle.
Follow these steps for using the OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder:
Get Setup
1. Remove the lid from hopper and fill with whole, roasted beans. Replace lid.
2. Hold the hopper and slowly rotate to adjust the grind size setting.
- 1-5= fine (for espresso)
- 6-10=medium (for pour-over/drip coffee)
- 11-15=coarse (for French press/cold brew)
3. Plug into outlet and slide the grounds container onto base. Make sure it clicks.
4. Turn dial to set timer to desired grinding time, from 0-30 seconds. When first using the grinder, start with 10 seconds and weigh or measure the amount of grounds you get.
5. Push the OXO button to start the Grinder.

Thanks for Such an interesting information. how to use the coffee grinder machine. It helped me a lot. Thank sharing the information. https://mcdvoicee.us/
Just got this grinder and the container keeps popping out of the base. I tried pushing it in to make a click but no click. The lid is on. I also get a lot of static.
Is the frequency different depending upon the roast – French roast being oilier than lighter roasts?

I love This grinder!
But I cleaned it and now it is grinding inconsistently and barely yielding beans in hopper.
It takes 2 grinds, with timer at 30 secs to get to 6 cups.
It feels, when cleaning, like the chute is off center…is it supposed to be?
Maybe my grinder timer is not working as it should or perhaps the designers thought it did not need a click stop dial for the timer. If not it would be a good feature to add. Add click stops for the timer.
nice and amazing post.

My grinder grinds the coffee beans VERY coarse no matter what setting it’s on…??
When grinding some grounds fly outside the top of the container causing a mess surrounding the grinder. What causes that and how do I remedy it?
I tired the timer with the hopper empty – no matter what time I set it went off after about 5 seconds. Is that because the hopper was empty?
I hear it grinding but nothing comes out
I keep reading that I need to hear a click when I insert the grounds hopper. I do not hear a click.
How frequently should it be cleaned? Is the frequency different depending upon the roast – French roast being oilier than lighter roasts?
