STEP 2
• Select the desired amount of ground coffee required by pressing the
SHOTS|CUPS button until desired amount is displayed (see fig. 4 ).
• Rotate the Grind Amount Dial to adjust the grinding time to achieve the
correct amount of coffee. Increasing time will increase the dose and
decreasing the time will decrease the dose (see fig. 5 ).
STEP 3
• For espresso, we recommend selecting Grind Size setting 12 as a
starting point and moving the Grind Size dial Coarser or Finer to adjust
the flow of espresso as required. This should be done in conjunction with
setting the grind amount (dose) (see fig. 6 ).
• You will need to extract a shot of espresso to determine if a change in
grind size and/or grind amount is necessary to achieve the correct rate
of flow. Traditionally, a single shot of espresso is defined as ~30ml in
30 seconds and a double shot of espresso as ~60mls in 30 seconds.
NOTE
If the Grind Size Dial is tight, run the grinder by pressing the
START|PAUSE|CANCEL button while turning the Grind Size Dial.
This will release coffee grounds caught between the burrs.

FEATURES
AUTOMATIC GRINDING
• Press and release either the START|PAUSE|CANCEL button or push the
handle of your portafilter once.
• This will activate the PORTAFILTER SWITCH.
• Grinding will automatically stop when the preset amount is dispensed
(see fig. 9 ).
• It is normal for the correct amount of coffee to appear overfilled in your
portafilter. Un-tamped coffee is approximately three times the volume of
tamped coffee (see fig. 10 ).
NOTE
Programming a custom grind amount/time only sets it for that particular
brew method. This will not change the other Shots or Cups settings.
PAUSE FUNCTION
You can pause the grinder during operation allowing you to collapse or
settle the coffee in the portafilter.
• Press and release the START|PAUSE|CANCEL button to start the
grinding operation.
• During grinding, press the START|PAUSE|CANCEL button again to
pause the operation for 10 seconds.
• Press again within this time to resume grinding the remaining dose
(see fig. 11 ).
PROGRAM FUNCTION
Once you have set your required dose, you can program this time into
the number of shot(s) currently displayed on the LCD. Press and hold
the PROGRAM button, grinder will beep twice to confirm. Only the shot
displayed will be programmed, all other shots will remain unchanged
(see fig. 12 ).
MANUAL GRINDING
Grinding manually allows you to have complete control over how much
coffee is dispensed.
• Press and hold either the START|PAUSE|CANCEL button or push the
handle of your portafilter to activate the PORTAFILTER SWITCH for as
long as you require.

and grinding will stop (see fig. 13 ).
ADJUSTING YOUR GRIND AMOUNT
The Grind Amount Dial gives you the ability to modify the preset
SHOTS|CUPS amounts to deliver more or less ground coffee into your
portafilter or grinds container.
INCREASING THE GRIND AMOUNT

(see fig. 14 ).

• Each adjustment will decrease the grind time by 0.2 of a second
(see fig. 15 ).
NOTE
To RESET the grind amount/time to the default settings, press and hold the
SHOTS|CUPS button until a long beep sounds.
ADJUSTING CONICAL BURRS
Some types of coffee may require a wider grind range to achieve an ideal
extraction or brew.
