Congratulations on the purchase of your
Espressions Precision Grinder, designed and
engineered in Australia.
Espressions delivers quality, style and
superior performance capturing the essence
of the commercial kitchen. Inspired by heavy-
duty equipment found in restaurants, cafes
and bars, the Precision Grinder is built to
last. It brings together a range of appliances
designed to expertly create authentic café
food and beverages at home.
Uncompromising blends of stainless steel
and die-cast alloy characterise the range.
This, combined with advanced technology
and functional design, guarantee that each
product will surpass expectations.
When making coffee regardless of the
brewing method the flavour of the resulting
brew depends largely on the quality,
freshness and roast of the coffee beans used.
Other factors that can also affect the taste of
the final cup include the purity of the brew
water, the condition of the grinder and the
actual design of the burr mechanism within
the grinder.
The Espressions grinder features tool
hardened steel conical burrs for extra long
life. The conical burr design ensures that
the particle size of the coffee is consistent
and even. This is especially important for
espresso, if the particle size of the coffee
is uniform equal amounts of the coffee’s
aromatic profile will be extracted.
If, however, the particle size of the coffee
varies some particles will be over-extracted
and some will be under-extracted, resulting in
a poor tasting coffee.
Another advantage of the conical burr design
is its slow rotating operation. This combined
with a belt-driven motor, minimises heat
transfer to the burrs and thus protects the
aromatic profile of the coffee and ultimately
enhances the quality of the resulting brew.
The Espressions Precision Grinder is
constructed with quality die-cast metal
components and includes many features that
make grinding coffee at home easy so you
can enjoy a lovely fresh cup of coffee every
time. We hope you enjoy your new coffee
grinder!
Congratulations

Operating your Espressions
Precision Grinder
Before using the coffee grinder, wipe the
base exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the
bean hopper and hopper lid in warm soapy
water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Note: Do not immerse the grind cartridge in
water or any other liquid.
Note: Do not place any parts of the coffee
grinder in the dishwasher.
1.Place the coffee grinder on a dry, level
surface.
2.To attach the bean hopper, align the arrow
on the hopper with the arrow on the top of
the grind cartridge and turn clockwise to
lock. See figure 1.
The grinder will not function without the
hopper in place.
3.Fill the bean hopper with coffee beans.
Tip: To maintain an even weight bearing down
on the burrs, we recommend keeping the
hopper at least half full. This ensures a more
consistent grind is achieved.
Note: This coffee grinder is intended to grind
whole coffee beans only.
4.Place the hopper lid onto the bean hopper
and open the hopper closure arm.
5.Ensure operation dial is off, plug the power
cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet and
switch the power on.
6.Select the grind by turning the grind
adjustment collar to the desired setting,
see figure 2.
Refer to the grind setting table on page 11 to
assist you in selecting the correct grind level
for the desired brewing method.

The range of 30 grind settings allows for
precision adjustment. The coffee maker has
control of the particle size and ultimately the
quality of the resulting brew.
Some things to remember when using the
coffee grinder;
• The smaller the particle size the longer it
will take to grind.
• After long periods of using the finer
settings we recommend removing the grind
cartridge and sweeping away any residual
coffee to avoid clogging. See the Care
and Cleaning section on page 12 for more
details.
Tips
1.Select the correct grind for the brewing
method you are using. 30 grind settings
are available to ensure precision
adjustment. The lower settings deliver
finer grinds while the higher settings
deliver coarser grinds. It is important
to experiment with the grind settings to
achieve the ideal brew that best suits your
palate.
2.Coffee that is ground too fine for a
particular brewing process will result in
over-extraction and the coffee will taste
bitter. On the other hand, coffee that is too
coarse for a particular brewing method will
result in under-extraction and the coffee
will be thin and poor in flavour.
3.Once coffee is ground it quickly loses its
flavour and aroma. For the best results we
recommend you grind beans immediately
prior to brewing.
4.Buy fresh whole coffee beans weekly.
5.To retain freshness, store whole coffee
beans in an airtight container in a cool,
dark, dry place. It is not recommended
that you store beans in the grinder’s bean
hopper for a prolonged period.
6.To ensure the best results from the coffee
grinder clean the bean hopper and conical
burrs regularly.

Important Notes:
• Spots and marks on the surface of the
burrs are part of the hardening process.
These marks do not affect the performance
of the grinder or the taste of the coffee.
• Ensure the coffee grinder is switched off
and unplugged from the power outlet prior
to cleaning.
• Do not immerse the motor base of the
coffee grinder in water.
• Do not immerse any part of the grind
cartridge in water or any other liquid.
• Do not place any parts of the coffee grinder
in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring
pads.
Cleaning the motor base and bean hopper
1.Close the hopper closure arm and remove
the bean hopper from the motor base, see
figure 8. Store unused beans in an airtight
container to preserve their freshness.
2.Wipe the motor base exterior with a damp
cloth and dry.
3.Wash the bean hopper in warm soapy
water, then rinse and dry.
Cleaning the burrs
If the coffee grinder is used frequently (every
day), the burrs need to be cleaned every
three weeks to ensure best performance of
the coffee grinder. Regular cleaning helps
the burrs achieve consistent grinding results,
which is especially important when grinding
coffee for espresso.
1.Close the hopper closure arm and purge
the grinder by turning on until no more
grinds come out.
2.Ensure the coffee grinder is switched off
and unplugged from the power outlet.
Remove the bean hopper from the motor
base, see figure 8.
3.To remove the grind cartridge, press and
hold down the ‘RELEASE’ button on the
top of the grinder base and with the other
hand hold the cartridge grip tabs and turn
anti-clockwise, see figure 9.
Note: Using the cartridge grip tabs enables
removal of the grind cartridge without
changing your grind settings.
