you may resume use.
Clear grounds from chute
If you don’t grind regularly, make sure to clear the
ground coffee from the chute before each use. To
clear the chute: Run your Grinder for 10 seconds
before adding beans. Discard the grounds. You are

Old/dry beans will create static which can result in
dust sticking to walls of Grinder. Do not store beans in
the bean hopper for an extended period of time.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Grinder starts but produces no
coffee grounds
Hopper trap door is blocked Check to ensure there are no beans stuck
in the hopper’s trap doors.
Grounds chute is clogged Use a small exible brush to clean grounds chute.
Beans not owing out of hopper
Remove hopper lid and stir beans in hopper with
a wooden spoon to help separate oily beans
that can stick together. Replace lid and try
grinding again. If problem persists, empty hopper
completely and wipe down the inside with a
damp cloth or hand wash with warm, soapy
water. Let dry before relling with beans.
Upper burr is not fully
locked into place
Turn handle clockwise rmly to ensure burr is
locked in place; it will click into place when secure.
More static than usual
Many factors contribute to the
amount of static created while
grinding coffee, including different
types of coffee beans and roasts and
the humidity level in the air.
Wipe down surfaces with damp towel and dry
thoroughly. You may also let the grounds rest
in the grounds container for 30 seconds before
moving the container from the Grinder. This will
allow the static to dissipate.
Grounds container not seated
properly underneath chute
Ensure Grinder base is completely clear of coffee
grounds. Position grounds container onto base,
pushing back until it’s fully seated under chute.
The container will lightly click into place.
