Saeco M50 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 Saeco M50® is built to last.
It brings together a range of appliances
designed to expertly create authenc café
food and beverages at home.
Uncompromising blends of stainless steel
and die-cast alloy characterise the range.
This, combined with advanced technology
and funconal design, guarantee that each
product will surpass expectaons.
When making coffee regardless of the brewing
method the flavour of the resulng 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 con-
dion of the grinder and the actual design of
the burr mechanism within the grinder.
The Saeco M50® grinder features tool hardened
steel conical burrs for extra long life. The conical
burr design ensures that the parcle size of the
coffee is consistent and even. This is especially
important for espresso, if the parcle size
of the coffee is uniform equal amounts of the
coffee’s aromac profile will be extracted.
If, however, the parcle size of the coffee
varies some parcles will be over-extracted
and some will be under-extracted, resulng in
a poor tasng coffee.
®
Another advantage of the conical burr design
is its slow rotang operaon. This combined
with a belt-driven motor, minimises heat
transfer to the burrs and thus protects the
aromac profile of the coffee and ulmately
enhances the quality of the resulng brew.
The Saeco M50 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 me.

The range of 30 grind sengs allows for
precision adjustment. The coffee maker has
control of the parcle size and ulmately the
quality of the resulng brew.
Some things to remember when using the
coffee grinder;
•The smaller the parcle size the longer it
will take to grind.
•Aer long periods of using the finer sengs
we recommend removing the grind cartridge
and sweeping away any residual coffee to avoid
clogging. See the Care and Cleaning secon on
page 12 for more details.
Tips
1.
2. Coffee that is ground too fine for a
parcular brewing process will result in
over-extracon and the coffee will taste
bier. On the other hand, coffee that is too
coarse for a parcular brewing method will
result in under-extracon 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 airght 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.

Select the correct grind for the brewing
method you are using. 30 grind sengs
are available to ensure precision
adjustment. The lower sengs deliver
finer grinds while the higher sengs
deliver coarser grinds. It is important
to experiment with the grind sengs
to achieve the ideal brew that best
suits your palate.

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 airght
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 unl 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’ buon on the
top of the grinder base and with the other

the front and then the rear ensuring two
clicks are heard.
10. Aach the hopper and run the grinder to
ensure smooth operaon.
Cauon: Re-calibrang too fine may cause
burrs to collide resulng in a metallic
grinding noise. If this occurs turn off the
grinder and move to a coarser seng (a
seng towards 30) or re-calibrate for a
coarser grind.
