Virtuoso

TM

 Manual

Front Mounted Pulse Button

For short duration grinding, the 
Virtuoso™ is equipped with a front 
mounted pulse button.  It can be used 
for grinding directly into an espresso-

brewing  basket.  Remove  the  grounds 

bin and position the espresso- basket 
inside the grinder directly below the 
pulse button (see photo).  Push and hold 
the pulse button to grind. Grinding will 
stop when the button is released.

Note:

It is important that the espresso basket is held below the discharge chute so 
the coffee powder can fall freely into the basket.  Holding the basket up tight to 

the discharge chute will cause coffee to back up and jam your grinder.
