How to use

Place the desired amount of coffee beans in the hopper, set the grind size by adjusting the regulator to the preferred setting, and turn the hand crank evenly until all beans are ground. For coarser grinds suitable for French press, use larger gap settings; for pour-over or drip, reduce the gap for a finer grind. Empty the grounds container into your filter or brewer and adjust settings incrementally to refine extraction based on taste. Regularly disassemble and brush the burrs to remove oils and residue for consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

Use freshly roasted whole beans and adjust grind size in small increments to match your brewing method. Clean the burrs periodically and avoid grinding oily or flavoured beans frequently to maintain burr condition and consistent grind quality.
