OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
NOTE
If the Grind Size Collar is tight,
run the grinder by pressing the
START|CANCEL button while turning
the Hopper. This will release coffee
grounds caught between the burrs.
GRINDING INTO A GRINDS
CONTAINER OR COFFEE FILTER
Step 1:
Remove cradle by sliding out from under
the grind outlet.
PULL
Place your container or coffee filter directly
under grind outlet.
Your filter basket is now dosed with the correct
amount of coffee for your Sage
®
espresso
machine.
If using the Razor™ with a non Sage
®
espresso
machine, you will need to adjust the depth
of the trimmed coffee by trial and error
until you achieve approximately a 1mm gap
between the group head dispersion screen and
the surface of the trimmed coffee. Start with
a dose that is too high, i.e. the dispersion screen
leaves an imprint on the surface of the trimmed
coffee when inserted and removed from the
group head WITHOUT extracting. Adjust
the height of the dose in small steps until you
achieve this clearance. You will then have the
correct dose height for your espresso machine.
Adjust grind size only until you get the right
rate of espresso flow, while keeping the Razor™
dose height and tamp pressure consistent.
Step 5:
Select Your Grind Size
For espresso, we recommend starting with
grind size setting 15 and rotating the Hopper
(to adjust the Grind Size Collar) either coarser
or finer until your preferred flavour profile is
achieved. This should be done in conjunction
with setting the grind amount (dose).
Refer to the Coffee Chart on page 14
for approximate grind size guide.
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 ~ 30mls
in 30 seconds and a double shot of espresso
as ~ 60mls in 30 seconds.
