Initial Set Up
Place the VARIO
™
Grinder on a
level surface; Insert the plug into
an AC outlet. Remove the lid from
the hopper by lifting off. Pour the
desired quantity of roasted whole
coffee beans into the hopper up
to a maximum of 250 Grams. Re-
place the lid. Ensure the ground
coffee bin or PortaHolder
™
is fully
inserted.
Setting the Macro and Micro
Grind Adjustment
Move the Macro lever up or down
to the desired range of grind size.
Set the Micro adjustment lever to
the middle of the scale. Grind a
small amount of coffee by pressing
the START button, then pressing it
again to stop. Check the particle
size. If the particle size is close to
what you desire, now use the Mi-
cro lever to “fine tune” your grind
size. If the particle size needs a
big change, then adjust the Macro
lever to a new position, then fine
tune with the Micro lever. The full
range on the Micro scale is equal to
one “click” or position on the Mac
-
ro scale. With both levers, mov-
ing UP produces a smaller particle
size and DOWN produces a larger
particle size. The actual grind size
for a particular setting will vary de-
pending on many factors, includ-
ing: degree of roast (light vs. dark),
freshness, humidity, type of bean,
oil content, etc. With use, you will
determine the setting that is right
for your taste, brewing style and
your favorite beans.
Note:
Partially ground coffee
beans may remain between the
burrs after the grinder is turned off,
adjusting the grind may be easier
when the grinder is running.
