Time Based Grinding Operation: 

Place the portafilter or the grounds bin in the grinder. Press a 

preset button (1,2,3). The screen will show the corresponding 

programmed grind time in seconds. Press Start (>ll) button 

to begin grinding. While grinding, the screen will count UP 

the seconds and stop when the preset time is reached. 

When the screen reaches the preset time, the motor will stop 

and the display will reset again to the programmed time. 

For manual quantities of ground coffee, press and hold the 

START button until you obtain the desired amount of coffee, 

then release the START button, the grinder will then stop with 

the screen showing the total amount of seconds run. To get 

out of manual mode, press STOP.

Remove the grinder, bin, power cord, and bean hopper from 

the box. Install lid onto bean hopper. With the shutoff knob 

facing the 11 o’clock position, line up the 3 hopper tabs 

with the slots in the top of the grinder. Set the hopper in 

place and rotate firmly clockwise until the hopper clicks into 

place. Note: Grinder motor will not turn on with the hopper 

removed. Ensure the shutoff knob is in the open position.

Macro/micro grind size adjustment:

The Macro adjustment moves from coarse (31) to fine (1). 

With the grinder running, turn the knob to the right to move 

from coarse to fine. Espresso: start at 9E Manual brew: start 

at 20E. The micro adjust is the bottom ring, from finer (A) to 

Coarser (I). Turn to the right to move from coarse to fine. The 

micro adjust is stepless with guidelines for repeatability.

Convertible device holder: 

The black arms that hold the grounds bin can also be used 

to hold most popular brewing devices such as V60, Kalita 

Wave, Clever, and Able Kone. To convert the arms to hold a 

portafilter, push in on the right arm and swing it down and 

to the left. To convert the arms to hold the grounds bin or 

other brewing devices, push in on the right arm and rotate 

to the right and up. The left arm will automatically move into 

position. In the center, above the arms, is a hook for holding 

the lip of your portafilter, providing stability. This hook can 

be rotated out of the way by pressing down on the hook 

and then rotating it left or right. To return to center position 

simply press down and rotate it back to center.

Adjusting the portafilter hook: 

When grinding directly into a portafilter, you must first 

convert the arms to portafilter mode and swing the hook to 

the front. The hook is designed to support the top lip of your 

portafilter. It is imperative that your hook is adjusted so that 

your portafilter sits level. To adjust the hook, loosen the 2mm 

hex screw that sits below the hook, adjust portafilter hook up 

or down, and tighten screw once in the proper position.
