- Select Grind Setting: Rotate the adjustment dial on the grinder to select your desired grind size. The grinder offers 90 professional grind settings, from very fine (for espresso) to coarse (for French press). Refer to the "Grind Settings Guide" below for recommendations.
- Start Grinding: Ensure the magnetic dosing cup is securely in place. Press the power button located at the back of the grinder's base to begin grinding.
