Setup

2. Placement: Place the grinder on a stable, flat, and dry surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the grinder with a damp cloth. Wash the bean hopper and lid with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. Ensure all parts are dry before assembly.
4. Assemble Hopper: Place the clean, dry bean hopper onto the grinder body. Ensure it is seated correctly and securely.
5. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of the grinder.

Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Bean Hopper

• Remove the bean hopper lid.
• Pour fresh, roasted coffee beans into the hopper. Do not overfill.
• Replace the bean hopper lid securely.

2. Adjusting Grind Size

The STONE M2E offers a wide range of grind settings suitable for various brewing methods, from fine espresso to coarse French press. For espresso, a very fine grind is typically required.

• To adjust the grind size, rotate the grind adjustment collar.
• Rotate clockwise for a finer grind.
• Rotate counter-clockwise for a coarser grind.
• It is recommended to adjust the grind size only when the grinder is running or completely empty to prevent burr damage.

3. Grinding Coffee

1. Ensure the portafilter holder is correctly positioned under the grind outlet.
2. Place your portafilter into the holder.
3. Press the power/start button to begin grinding. The grinder will dispense ground coffee directly into your portafilter.
4. Press the button again to stop grinding, or the grinder may have a timed grinding feature (refer to specific model features if applicable).
5. Remove the portafilter and prepare your espresso.

Weekly / Bi-Weekly Deep Cleaning

   • Use a stiff brush (often provided with the grinder) to clean both the upper and lower burrs, removing all coffee residue.
   • Do not wash burrs with water.
