Operating Instructions
1. Grind Adjustment
The Geimori GU38 features 65 stepless grind settings with 0.01mm micro-adjustments, allowing for precise control over your grind size. To adjust the grind, rotate the hopper alignment collar. Turning it clockwise results in a finer grind, while counter-clockwise rotation yields a coarser grind.

3. Grinding Process
