1. Step 1: Load Coffee Beans
   Remove the transparent lid. Pour the desired amount of whole coffee beans into the grinding chamber. The grinder can hold up to 60g of coffee beans. Do not overfill. Securely place the transparent lid back onto the grinder.
2. Step 2: Grind Coffee Beans
   Plug the grinder into a suitable electrical outlet. Press and hold the power button located on the side of the grinder. The stainless steel blade will begin to spin, grinding the beans.
3. Step 3: Monitor Grinding
   Use the transparent lid to visually monitor the coarseness of your coffee grounds. For a finer grind, continue holding the button. For a coarser grind, release the button sooner. A pulse action (pressing and releasing the button repeatedly) can help achieve a more uniform grind.
4. Step 4: Remove Grounds
   Once the desired consistency is reached, release the power button and unplug the grinder. Carefully remove the lid and pour the freshly ground coffee into your preferred coffee maker or storage container.

Note: The grinding time will vary depending on the desired fineness. For espresso, a finer grind is needed, while for French press, a coarser grind is preferred.
