3. Setup
Before first use, ensure all components are clean and dry. The grinder comes pre-assembled. No complex setup is required.
3.1 Grind Adjustment
The Bincoo grinder features an external adjustable grind scale with 9 precision settings. Each notch on the scale is equivalent to 10 notches on a standard grinder, offering fine control over your grind size.
Figure 3.1: Adjusting the external grind setting. Rotate clockwise for finer grinds and counter-clockwise for coarser grinds.
- To adjust the grind size, rotate the digital control valve upstream of the fuselage.
- Rotating clockwise towards '1' will result in a finer grind (e.g., for espresso).
- Rotating counter-clockwise towards '9' will result in a coarser grind (e.g., for French press).
- The 'ORIGIN' point is reached by rotating fully clockwise to the thinnest limit.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Bincoo coffee grinder, consider the following:
- Grinding Difficulty: 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 in the burr.
- Inconsistent Grind: Verify that the burr assembly is clean and properly seated. Ensure the handle is securely attached and rotating smoothly.
- Handle Looseness: Check if the magnetic positioning handle is correctly engaged.
- No Beans Grinding: Confirm that beans are properly loaded into the hopper and not jammed.
