How to use

Load the hopper with an appropriate amount of coffee beans for the intended brew size.

Check grind consistency visually or by brewing a small test cup, and make small adjustments to the setting if necessary.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clean the burrs periodically to maintain consistent grind quality and reduce retention. Grind immediately before brewing to preserve aroma and flavour, and calibrate the grinder to your preferred brew method by testing small increments between settings.
