How to use

Place whole coffee beans into the removable hopper and select the desired grind setting according to your brewing method. Start the grinder and monitor the dose time to obtain the amount of ground coffee needed. For espresso, choose finer settings within the lower-numbered positions; for drip, pour-over and French press, select medium to coarser settings. After grinding, switch off and remove the grounds container, then tamp or distribute as required by your brewing method. Regular cleaning of the hopper and burr area will maintain performance and flavor consistency.

Usage recommendations

Use freshly roasted beans and adjust grind setting incrementally to dial in extraction for your preferred brewing method. Clean the burrs and hopper periodically according to the manufacturer’s guidance to avoid oil and residue buildup that can affect grind consistency and taste.
