How to use

Fill the hopper with the desired amount of coffee beans, set the grind size using the adjustment collar or dial, and attach the handle. Hold the grinder steady and rotate the handle at a consistent pace until the beans are fully ground. Empty the ground coffee into your brewer and adjust the setting as needed to refine extraction. Regularly disassemble the removable parts for cleaning to maintain consistent performance and prevent residual oils from affecting flavor.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use freshly roasted whole beans and adjust grind size in small increments when switching between brewing methods. Clean the burrs and chamber periodically to ensure stable particle distribution and prevent flavor carryover. When packing for travel, secure loose parts and empty the grounds before stowing the grinder.
