precise grinds needed for optimal brewing.
3. Select number of cups: Turn the ground coffee CUPS dial to the desired number of cups of
coffee (1 to 17) to be brewed.
4. Grind: Plug the cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. Press the ON/OFF Button.
IMPORTANT! The Conical Burr Grinder will NOT operate unless the removable ground coffee
drawer is in position removable ground coffee drawer is in proper position.
The Conical Burr Grinder will begin operation; ground coffee will begin to drop into the
removable ground coffee drawer. When the pre-set amount of ground coffee is produced,
the Conical Burr Grinder will automatically turn OFF.
5. Remove the grounds: Grasp the ground coffee drawer by the side handle. Pull straight out
of the side housing. Use the cutout in the center to open the lid. Pour ground coffee directly
into any coffee maker lter basket. Make sure you do not overll the ground coffee drawer
beyond the max line. The maximum capacity is 85g. If the drawer is overlled it can cause
the machine to clog up and stop functioning.
Store unused ground coffee in an airtight container for future use.

SCA Gold Cup Standard
The Conical Burr Grinder can help you achieve the Specialty Coffee Association
Gold Cup Standard. Particularly if you are using the 8-cup Pour Over Coffee Maker
which creates the perfect environment to brew Gold Cup coffee. You need more coffee
grounds when preparing Gold Cup coffee versus a standard cup of coffee. We’ve made
a chart for easy reference. Yes, we care that much about you creating the perfect cup
of coffee. Example: when making 4 cups of Gold Cup Standard coffee set your Conical Burr
Grinder to the number 6 setting.
It’s as easy as that!
Cups Grinder Stetting
For 1 cup Set grinder to the 2 cup setting
For 2 cups Set grinder to the 3 cup setting
For 3 cups Set grinder to the 5 cup setting
For 4 cups Set grinder to the 6 cup setting
For 5 cups Set grinder to the 8 cup setting
For 6 cups Set grinder to the 10 cup setting
For 7 cups Set grinder to the 12 cup setting

Grind Size Settings
The Conical Burr Grinder can grind enough coffee for up to 17 cups (85g) at a time
when set on coarse settings. More time is required for a ner grind, therefore when set on ner
settings the yield will be less than 17 cups. Use the below chart as a reference for how much
ground coffee you can expect on the various grind settings, even when 17 cups is selected on
the dial.
Coarse Settings Aprox. 85g = Aprox. 17cups
Medium Settings Aprox. 70g = Aprox. 14 Cups
Fine Settings Aprox. 40g = Aprox. 8 Cups
Hints for Best Results
• Fresh beans will yield the best avor and aroma.
• Keep coffee beans in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
NOTE: Coffee beans can be ground while frozen.
• A ne grind exposes more surface to the water and therefore a more rapid rate of
extraction of avor.
• A coarser grind, which exposes little surface, is appropriate for the longer brewing cycle
of percolators.

Care & Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER. DO NOT PLACE HANDHELD BURR
COFFEE GRINDER IN THE DISHWASHER!
1. Unplug the Conical Burr Grinder.
2. Remove the coffee bean hopper: turn the grinding dial counter-clockwise to OFF.
Pull the hopper and lid up and out of the grinding chamber.
3. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any excess ground coffee.
Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry completely.
NOTE: The ground coffee drawer, coffee bean hopper and lid are top rack dishwasher-safe.
4. Make sure to clean completely after each use.
5. It is recommended to clean out the coffee bean hopper after every few uses,
so coffee grounds do not build up.
6. After removing the bean hopper, remove the ring around the burr by simply pulling it
straight out. Make sure to wash and fully dry this part before placing it back into the unit.
7. Turn the unit upside-down and gently tap the bottom of the unit over a garbage can to
remove any built-up ground coffee.
8. To place back the ring, center it over the hole with the rounded edges facing the sides of
the grinder. You may need to wiggle it slightly back and forth to make sure that it is pushed
all the way back in and secured.
9. Ground coffee can also build up in the chute that delivers the grinds to the Removable
Ground Coffee Drawer. To release these grounds, remove the drawer and gently tap
the top of the unit a few times. The build-up should fall out easily. Never stick any objects,
including ngers up the chute to try and remove any built-up coffee.
Storing Instructions
