How to use

Remove the top cap, add up to 40 g of coffee beans into the hopper, then replace the cap. Adjust the grind setting according to your brew method following the grinder's adjustment mechanism. Hold the base securely and turn the handle at a steady pace until the desired amount of grounds is collected in the dispenser. Empty the dispenser into your brewer or portafilter and reassemble for next use. Clean the burr and hopper periodically according to the manufacturer’s instructions to maintain consistent performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use freshly roasted beans and adjust grind size incrementally: finer for espresso and aeropress, medium for pour-over, coarser for French press. Clean the ceramic burr regularly and avoid overfilling the hopper to keep grinding consistent.
