For espresso, typically use finer settings (lower numbers). For pour-over or drip coffee, use medium settings. For French press or cold brew, use coarser settings (higher numbers).

5.2 Dosing

The grinder is designed for single-dose grinding with low retention. Measure your desired amount of whole beans (up to 50g) and place them into the bellow hopper. The included dosing cup and collar can be used to directly grind into your portafilter.

5.3 Grinding Process

1. Ensure the grinder is plugged in and the power switch is on.
2. Adjust the grind setting according to your brewing method.
3. Place your dosing cup or portafilter under the grind chute.
4. Add your measured whole beans to the bellow hopper.
5. Press the power button to start grinding. The 250W motor will efficiently grind the beans.
6. The grinder features a 45-second auto-stop feature.
7. After grinding, use the bellow to clear any remaining grounds from the chute, ensuring low retention.

5.4 Plasma Generator (Anti-Static)

The built-in plasma generator reduces static for clean, clump-free grinding. This ensures evenly distributed coffee grounds and minimizes mess.
