How to use

Fill the hopper with whole coffee beans, secure the lid if present, and attach the handle. Set the desired grind size using the adjustment mechanism, then rotate the handle evenly until all beans are ground. Periodically check the grind size and adjust as needed to match your brewing method. After grinding, detach the handle and empty the grounds into your brewer or storage container. Clean the grinder regularly according to manufacturer guidance to maintain consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use fresh whole beans and calibrate the grind setting for your specific brewer: finer settings for concentrated methods like AeroPress or small-batch espresso-style extraction, medium-fine for pour-over, and coarse for French press. Avoid overfilling the hopper and clean the burrs periodically to prevent buildup and preserve uniform grinding.
