quickstart | basic usage
1 - Locate. Find a flat, dry counter space with access to a
power outlet. The EG-1 is made to be usable in 90v ~ 240v
regions without the need for a separate transformer.!It uses a
C13 style cable (such as a computer) that can be purchased
locally as needed. A US-style 3 prong cable is included inbox."
2 - Remove from box. Using both hands, carefully pull the
EG-1 straight out of the packaging.!Use caution when pulling it
out -- it is heavy."
3 - Put on the Bean Dish. This attaches as shown so that the
stainless dowel pins align the part and the magnet holds them
together."
4 - Put on the PF (Portafilter) Rail. The PF Cover is removed
(as shown) and we recommend starting with just the circular
rail to accommodate the Blind Shaker. Usage of the rails and
the Blind Shaker can be found on our Youtube Channel.

5 - Plug in unit. Use the included power cord. You may need an
adapter or another C13 style cable for your country, but a transformer
should not be needed as it works anywhere with a 90v-240v AC supply."
6 - Power on mains. This is the switch on the back of the unit next to
where the cord plugs in. The display should read "0""
7 - Adjust the RPM level. Turn the black knob counterclockwise to
reduce!to the 500-700RPM range (a good starting point). Note that the
RPMs will display for just a second so they can be pre-set without
running the grinder.!"
8 - Using the On/OffButton. When the blades are spinning, the
button will illuminate and the button will remain depressed. Be sure
not to leave the grinder ON/Spinning for excessive periods of time.
The mains power in the back only needs to be shut down when you
wish to turn the LEDs off. The EG-1 will enter a sleep mode in 60
seconds and the LEDs will dim until the On/Offbutton is pressed
again, where it will awaken instantaneously to start grinding."
9 - Adjust the Grind. Test grind a small amount of coffee to verify
the initial setting. We usually ship with the grinder close to an
espresso setting, but it will need to be adjusted for your brewing
style and particular coffee. Adjustments coarser and finer are done
by lifting up the locking ring and turning. Larger numbers mean
larger particles, and each tick adjusts by 5 microns. There is no
absolute zero. There may be some small remnants of beans in the
grinder during shipping, as we test grind ~200g of coffee on each
unit before shipping. While we do clean,!small!amounts may remain
during shipping."

10 - Grinding Coffee. When you are dialed into your grind size, you
can dump your coffee dose into the Bean Dish. You may use either a
"Hot Start" where the grinder is on/spinning before the beans are
introduced, or a "Cold Start" where the beans are added before
turning the grinder on. We typically recommend using a Hot Start
when operating the EG-1. When the dose is finished grinding
(around ~10s for a 20g dose), you can expunge any final amounts in
the spout by clicking the "clicker" located to the back of the bean
funnels.!"
11 - Cleaning the Grinder. The EG-1 was designed to be extremely
quick and easy to clean. This makes it a daily process with no tools
required. Start by ensuring that the grinder is powered down at
mains and the on/offbutton is not depressed. Remove both the
Upper and Lower funnels to have access to the grind chamber. Pull
down to unlock the funnel covers from the pins and magnets, then
out to remove from unit and set aside. Use a small brush to clean
any coffee residue from the surfaces in the grind chamber. A wipe
with a damp towel is also OK, but never put any of the EG-1 parts
into the dishwasher as this will ruin them. Videos can be seen on our
Youtube channel (youtube.com/weberworkshops)"
12 - Sleep & Power Off. The grinder is programmed to go into sleep
mode after 60 seconds of inactivity. The LED display will dim. It can
be woken up instantaneously by pressing the on/offbutton. We
recommend powering down at mains overnight for cafes, or during
any prolonged period of non use at the home."
