Operating Instructions

Grind Adjustment

The Silenzio features stepless micrometric grind adjustment. Turn the adjustment knob located on the top of the grinder to change the grind fineness. Turning clockwise makes the grind finer, and counter-clockwise makes it coarser. Start with a medium-fine setting for espresso and adjust as needed.
