SETUP

1. Remove the contents from the packaging and hand-wash the hopper lid (1), bea n hopper (2), dosing cup (9), and grounds bin (19) in warm, soapy water. Let ai r dry. Do not wash the ring burr (5) in water or it will rust.
2. To install the hopper, align the silver grind setting indicator (3) with the  triangle near grind setting 40 (6). Press the hopper down and twist clockwise into place. The grinder will not start without the hopper installed.*
3. If grinding for espresso, insert the dosing cup base (10) and dosing cup (9). If grinding for filter brewing, insert the grounds bin (19).
4. To install the on/off knob (11), align it with the stem of the switch on the right side of the unit and press into place. Use either the on/off knob or the pulse button (7) to begin grinding.

*If there is difficulty in installing the hopper: Ensure that the ring burr (5)is fully seated in place. The grind adjustment ring (13) must be rotated fully counterclockwise using the adjustment ring tabs (14) for the hopper to be installed.

When grinding into the grounds bin, coffee tends to mound up. To prevent clogging, empty the grounds before they reach the max fill line.

RECOMMENDED INITIAL GRIND SETTINGS

The Encore ESP has a unique adjustment system for making precise grind adjustments in the espresso range (settings 1-20). In this range, each click of the adjustment will result in a small change to the grind size, making it possible to fine-tune the perfect espresso shot. Grind adjustments in the filter coffee range (settings 21-40) result in relatively large changes, more suitable to other brew methods. Below are suggested starting points for what grind settings to use for common brew methods. Coarser or finer grinding may be needed depending on recipe requirements and taste preference.

Espresso| AeroPress| Hario V60| Automatic Brewer| Chemex| French Press
---|---|---|---|---|---
15| 22| 25| 28| 30| 32

NOTE: The espresso grind setting above is based on a medium roast and a dose of 18g of coffee. For darker roasts or larger doses, set the grind to a higher number. For lighter roasts or smaller doses, set the grind setting to a lower number.

TO GET STARTED

1. Rotate the hopper so the grind setting indicator (3) is aligned with the desired grind setting (6).
2. When making grind adjustments, the grinder must either be running or completely empty of beans to prevent damage to the unit.
3. If grinding for espresso, the included espresso dosing cup (9) and 58mm adapter ring (8) allow for easy transfer of coffee into a 54mm or 58mm portafilter.

• If using a 54mm portafilter, remove the adapter ring before dosing.
• Grind into the dosing cup, fit the portafilter upside-down on top, and flip them over to seamlessly pour the grounds into the portafilter basket.
