INTRODUCTION
The next generation of coffee grinders has arrived to deliver
the new standard in home-ground coffee! The burr grinds
the beans with precise uniformity while maintaining the full
flavor of the coffee bean. Whether you’re using a French
Press, Auto Drip or Espresso machine, you’ll always start
with the best, most precise ingredients. This grinder is fully
automated – just choose your grind setting and number of
cups, touch Start, and the LCD with countdown timer lets
you know how soon you’ll have your perfectly ground coffee!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove bean hopper lid.
2. Fill bean hopper, making sure that the lid closes
securely. Maximum bean capacity is 8 oz. Be sure
you have enough beans to grind your desired amount
of coffee.
3. Select grind setting – turn the hopper to the desired
setting. The higher the number, the coarser the grind.
Use 1–6 for Espresso, 7–12 for Auto Drip, 13–18 for
French Press.
4. Plug cord into outlet. Touch the power icon to illuminate
the touchscreen.
5. Select cup setting – press the cup selector icon
repeatedly until your desired number of cups is
displayed on the LCD, from 1 to 14 cups. Press and hold
the icon to scroll through the numbers quickly.
6. Touch the Start icon to begin grinding. A safety interlock
system prevents the unit from operating unless the hop-
per and grind chamber are properly in place.
7. Grinding will automatically stop upon completion.
NOTE: To cancel operation during use, touch the Start
or Power icon. The grinder will stop and the display will
return to the selection screen.
8. Pull the grind chamber toward you to remove from unit.
NOTE: If the grind chamber is overfilled, the chute can
get clogged and the unit will not work. To unclog, use
the scoop brush to clear out the chute of excess
grounds. Should the grinder stop at any point, the motor
has likely overheated. Wait for your grinder to cool off
(up to 30 minutes), then resume use.

MANUAL GRIND
If you prefer, after selecting your grind setting, you have the
option of manually controlling how much coffee the unit will
grind. To do so, follow steps 1–4 on previous page. Then
press and hold the manual icon until the desired amount of
coffee has been ground. The LCD will display the number of
cups dispensed.
NOTE: To avoid overflow when using the manual feature, the
grinder will automatically stop grinding when the maximum
capacity has been reached.
