Troubleshooting

• Grinder feels stiff or difficult to turn: Check for large foreign objects among the beans. Ensure the grind setting is not too fine for the beans being used. Clean any accumulated coffee residue from the burrs.

• Static buildup: A common issue with grinders. Lightly misting the beans with water before grinding can help reduce static.
