When it may not be suitable

How to use

To use the Porlex Mini 2, remove the handle and the top lid to access the bean hopper. Add your desired amount of whole coffee beans into the hopper and replace the lid. Attach the handle to the hexagonal nut on the top of the grinder. Hold the body firmly and rotate the handle in a clockwise direction until all beans have passed through the burrs. You can adjust the grind size by removing the lower catch cup and turning the adjustment nut located at the base of the inner burr assembly.

What to consider before purchase

Usage recommendations

For the best results, clean the ceramic burrs periodically with a soft brush to remove residual coffee oils. Always ensure the adjustment nut is securely set before grinding to maintain a uniform particle size.
