Grind Settings Guide

The CERA+ CGE01 offers 90 adjustable grind settings, allowing precise control for various brewing methods. The grind scale can be adjusted according to your brewing method and personal preferences.

To adjust the grind setting, locate the dial at the bottom of the burr assembly. Rotate it clockwise for finer grinds and counter-clockwise for coarser grinds. There are no numerical indicators on the external dial, so adjustments are made by feel and visual inspection of the grind. The internal mechanism has a dial scale and indication mark for reference.
