How to use

Fill the hopper with roasted coffee beans, select the desired grind setting for your chosen brew method, and operate the grinder using the front controls. For consistent dosing, grind in short intervals or use the grinder’s standard timing controls if present; collect the grounds in the portafilter or grounds container and proceed with your preferred brewing routine. Clean the hopper and grounds container regularly and brush out the burr area to maintain consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

Use freshly roasted beans and adjust grind size incrementally to match your brew equipment. For pour-over, choose a medium-fine setting and adjust by small steps if the extraction is too fast or too slow; for French press, use a coarser setting to reduce fines and sediment. Perform routine cleaning to preserve grind consistency and avoid stale residues affecting flavor.
