1. When you’re loading coffee beans into the container, make sure that no extraneous objects get in it.

2. Use fresh ground coffee ONLY. (Ground coffee loses its quality much faster than coffee beans).

3. Clean the bean dosator and bean bunker every week!

4. Check the burrs once every six months

5. Avoid getting any water inside the coffee grinder.

6. Do not use coffee that’s already been ground; use coffee beans only.

At the Beginning of the day:

1. Put the coffee beans into the container. Leftover beans from the previous day should be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly closed container. The same goes for ground coffee.

2. Grind a small amount of coffee and check the ground for the consistency. You can mix the previous day’s ground coffee with the fresh stuff.

At the end of the day:

1. Take away any leftover beans from the container. Put them in a small jar with a tightly closed lid. Repeat with the leftover of the ground coffee. Don’t grind more coffee in the end of the day that you’ll be able to use that same day.

2. Clean the grinder with a brush.

Once a week:

1. Clean the coffee bean container in warm water with a special solution. It’ll remove the oily substance that’s left on the walls of the container and which has a negative effect on the freshly ground coffee.

2. Clean inside the dosator using a special brush.

3. Finally, clean outside the dosator with the same brush.

It seems that many of you still want to know more about the technical differences between Lelit’s PL053 an PL043 Coffee Grinder models.

Lelit Coffee grinder PL043

The newer model, the PL043, exhibits the graduated wheel for the world to see, which makes finding the best grinding setting a very easy thing to do. The PL043 is visually more contemporary. It would be a good choice for having something enjoyable to look at on the counter of the kitchen for years to come because it’s easy on the eyes. It could possibly be a long time before the PL043 begins to look dated.

Of course, I’m talking about aesthetics when I mention the PL043 model’s contemporary look. Aesthetics are vulnerable to personal and popular taste. Your preferences are your own.
The main difference between Lelit’s PL053 and PL043 Coffee Grinder models is that the PL043 model is easier to use and looks more contemporary. Lelit claims that both models are stepless but outside experts on coffee machines disagree since numbers
are still set by pressing down the switch on the PL043 model.

I really appreciate the e-mail questions I’m getting, I really do, but I’m afraid that this will be the last time I answer questions about the differences between the two models on the blog. There’s a comprehensive section in the FAQ that covers today’s topic. There’s some new information in today’s blog post, which is why I’ve decided to post on the matter today.

In my next entry, I’ll be talking about the differences between the most commonly used coffea plants whose beans are used to make coffee. I can’t promise that it’ll be a thriller, but I can promise that’ll it’ll be informative.
