4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your grinder:
- Cleaning: The grinder should NOT be washed with water. After each use, use a cleaning brush (often included) to remove any residual coffee grounds from the burrs and internal components.
- Storage: Store the grinder in a dry place. The portable bag provided is excellent for protecting it from dust and damage.
- Avoid Disassembly: Do not attempt to disassemble the grinding core beyond normal cleaning procedures, as this may affect calibration and performance.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your grinder, refer to these common solutions:
- Difficulty Grinding:
- Ensure the grind setting is not too fine for the type of beans being used. Very fine settings can increase resistance.
- Check for any foreign objects or bean fragments lodged in the burrs. Clean thoroughly with a brush.
- Inconsistent Grind:
- Verify that the grind adjustment dial is securely set and has not shifted during grinding.
- Ensure the burrs are clean and free of old, oily coffee residue that can affect consistency.
- Handle Detaches During Grinding:
- Ensure the hand crank is fully inserted and properly seated on the shaft before grinding.
