1) The marked electrical rating of the power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance;
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be
a grounding- type 3-wire cord; and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Unpack the Burr Grinder and remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the hopper and lid with a damp cloth.
3. Make sure the inside parts are completely dry before using.
4. Remove the coffee drawer and wash with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly before using.
5. Make sure the removable coffee drawer is in position at the base of the unit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Add the Beans: Remove the hopper lid. Add whole roasted coffee beans to the MAX mark on the
hopper. Replace the hopper lid. Do not overfill the hopper past the max line. This can cause the
unit to jam, or cause the unit to stop functioning.
2. Select Grind Size: Following the markings on the dial, turn the grinding dial to one of grinding
level needed for optimal brewing.
3. Select number of cups: Turn the ground coffee CUPS dial to the desired number of cups of coffee
(2 to 12) to be brewed.
4. Grind: Plug the cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. Press the ON/OFF Button.
IMPORTANT! The Burr Grinder will NOT operate unless the removable ground coffee drawer and
the hopper lid is in proper position.
The 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 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. Pour ground coffee directly into any coffee maker filter basket. Make sure you do
not overfill the ground coffee drawer beyond the max line. The maximum capacity is 100g. If
the drawer is overfilled it can cause the machine to clog up and stop functioning.
Store unused ground coffee in an airtight container for future use.
Clean the Burr Grinder according to the Care & Cleaning Instructions described in this instruction
manual.
NOTE: Tap the removable ground coffee drawer on the counter a few times to help reduce static
before opening the lid.

COFFEE BEAN GRINDING CHART
Grind Suggested Use Grind Size
Coarse French Press/Cold Brew Approx. 1.5 mm
Medium Percolator/Pour Over, Automatic Drip/
Filtered
Approx. 0.75 - 1.0 mm
Fine Espresso, Turkish, Mocha Approx. 0.20 - 0.38 mm
GRIND SIZE SETTINGS
The Burr Grinder can grind enough coffee for up to 20 cups (100g) at a time when set on coarse
settings. More time is required for a finer grind, therefore when set on finer settings the yield will be
less than 12 cups. Use the below chart as a reference for how much ground coffee you can expect on
the various grind settings, even when 12 cups is selected on the dial.
Coarse Settings Approx. 100g = Aprox. 20 Cups
Medium Settings Approx. 70g = Aprox. 14 Cups
Fine Settings Approx. 50g = Aprox. 10 Cups
*Based on 5g per cup
HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Fresh beans will yield the best flavor and aroma.
• Keep coffee beans in an airtight container.
• Smaller grinds have a greater surface area and extraction happens more quickly.
Larger grinds have less surface area and extraction happens more slowly.
For optimum extraction match the grind size to contact time and brew method.
Examples: Finer grinds for espresso, medium grinds for drip and pour over coffee, and coarser
grinds for French press and cold brew.
NOT RECOMMENDED
This Burr Grinder is NOT suitable for grinding herbs and spices.
This Burr Grinder WILL NOT GRIND anything which is moist, gummy or extremely hard: ice,
chocolate, whole nutmeg, candied ginger, etc.
• This Burr Grinder will NOT make pastes of any kind from seeds such as sunflower
or sesame.
• Grinding cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg is not advised as the oils and hardness can cause the
hopper to discolor or crack.
• Never add oils or liquids while grinding.
• Chopping, mincing or pureeing of soft foods is not recommended.

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 Burr Grinder.
2. 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 and lid, coffee bean hopper lid are top rack dishwasher-safe.
3. Make sure to clean completely after each use.
4. It is recommended to clean out the coffee bean hopper after every few uses,
so coffee grounds do not build up.
5. Turn the unit upside-down and gently tap the bottom of the unit over a garbage can to remove
any built-up ground coffee. It is recommended to clean out the coffee bean hopper with the
cleaning brush provided, after every few uses, so coffee grounds do not buildup
6. After removing the bean hopper lid, remove the burr blade by unlocking and pulling it straight out.
Make sure to clean this part with the cleaning brush before securing it back into the unit.
7. 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 fingers up the chute to try and remove any built-up coffee.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Problem Solution
Grinder stops
working during use
Grinder overheats. If the motor shuts down, unplug the coffee grinder
and empty the coffee grounds from the ground coffee drawer. Once the
drawer is empty, let the motor rest for approximately 30 minutes. Once
the 30-minute reset is complete, plug the power cord back into the 120V
AC electrical outlet and continue grinding.
Grinder clogs When grinding on the fine setting for 12 cups, never grind more than two
times before emptying the ground coffee drawer. At the medium and
coarse grind settings, empty the ground coffee drawer after every 12-cup
coffee grind.
Clean the chute that delivers coffee to the ground coffee drawer often.
The grinder does
not operate when
the ON/OFF button
is pressed.
Ensure the power plug is correctly inserted into the 120V AC
electrical outlet.
Ensure the hopper lid is placed in the correct position.
Ensure the removable ground coffee drawer with lid is placed correctly on
the base.
