Assembly

GRINDER OVERVIEW
Your Dose Control™ Pro uses hardened stainless steel Conical Burrs and can grind whole bean coffee suitable for a range of brewing methods, from the finest setting for Espresso to the coarsest setting for French Press.
The grind amount (dose) for all coffee types is controlled by an electronic timer. The dose for each brew method can be adjusted by rotating the GRIND TIME dial and changing the time the grinder will run. You can grind directly into a Portafilter, Container or Drip Coffee filter basket.
Within each brew method, Espresso, Percolator, Drip or French Press, there is a range of grind size settings; the grind settings will differ between each brew method. This is because each method requires different grind sizes for optimum extraction. Experiment with different grind size settings until you achieve the brew that best suits your taste.
Rotating the Bean Hopper will turn the Grind Size Collar to adjust grind size.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove and safely discard all promotional labels and packing materials attached to your Breville product. Wash hopper, and cradles in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe exterior of grinder with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Place grinder on flat level surface and plug power cord into a 120V outlet.

ASSEMBLING YOUR BREVILLE DOSE CONTROL™ PRO
Bean Hopper
Align tabs on the base of the bean hopper and insert hopper into position. Holding the hopper, press down firmly and turn the bean hopper dial 45° to lock into position.
A “click” sound will be heard when the hopper is correctly locked in place.Ensure the hopper and the Grind
Size Collar is aligned properly.
Fill with fresh coffee beans and secure lid on top of bean hopper.
NOTE
If the bean hopper has not been locked into position, the GRIND TIME dial will not be illuminated. This is to disable grinder operation for safety reasons.

Functions

The bean hopper can be removed by holding the hopper and turning the Dial anti-clockwise and lifting hopper to remove the locking system allows you to remove and transfer beans in the hopper to a storage container safely.
GRINDING FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE
NOTE
This machine is designed only for whole roasted coffee beans. Avoid grinding unroasted green and under-roasted coffee beans. These are dense and not brittle enough to run through a burr grinder. This will damage or break burr grinders and even pose a safety risk. Use single wall filter baskets when grinding fresh coffee beans. Use the finer 1–25 settings in the ESPRESSO range. Step 1:
Insert the appropriate portafilter cradle size.
Insert your portafilter into the cradle.
Step 2:
Selecting Grind Amount
Select the desired amount of ground coffee required by turning the GRIND TIME dial.
Refer to the Coffee Chart on page 12 as a starting point to adjust your grind time. This will vary depending on the individual size of your filter basket and coffee bean types. Rotate the GRIND TIME dial to adjust the grind time until the correct dose is achieved. Increasing the time will increase the dose and decreasing the time will decrease the dose.
Step 3:
Tamping the Ground Coffee
After dosing the portafilter with freshly ground coffee, tamp down with between 15-20kg or 30-40lbs of pressure. The amount of pressure is not as important as consistent pressure every time.
Step 4:
Trimming the Dose
The adjustable Razor™ Dose Trimming Tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction. Select the correct width blade of the Razor™ to match the diameter of your filter basket. The Razor™ has three blades of varying widths: 58mm, 54mm and 50mm. The 58mm and 54mm are already fitted within the Razor™ body. The 50mm is separate.If you require the 50mm blade, turn the Adjustable Dial past #1 until the 54mm blade is fully extended and able to be pulled from the body.![Breville BCG600SIL Dose Control Pro Coffee Bean Grinder

• Trimming the Dose 1](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2023/09 /Breville-BCG600SIL-Dose-Control-Pro-Coffee-Bean-Grinder-Trimming-the- Dose-1.jpg) NOTE
  The Adjustable Dial may feel tight as you continue to wind it towards the end of its travel.
  Insert the 50mm blade into the body. Wind the Adjustable Dial until the blade is retracted past #4. Press the 50mm and 58mm blades at the same time, towards the center of the body until a“click” sound can be heard.Adjust the Razor™ to the setting in the table below for your Breville espresso machine. This is a starting point for your dose height.

After tamping the coffee, insert the Razor™ into the filter basket until it rests on the rim of the basket. The blade of the dosing tool should penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee.
If the blade does not penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee, your coffee is under dosed. Increase the amount of dosed coffee by adjusting the GRIND TIME dial.
Rotate the Razor™ back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over the knock box to trim off a little excess coffee.Your filter basket is now dosed with the correct amount of coffee for your Breville espresso machine.
If using the Razor™ with a non Breville espresso machine, you will need to adjust the depth of the trimmed coffee by trial and error until you achieve approximately a 1mm gap between the group head dispersion screen and the surface of the trimmed coffee. Start with a dose that is too high, i.e. the dispersion screen leaves an imprint on the surface of the trimmed coffee when inserted and removed from the group head WITHOUT extracting. Adjust the height of the dose in small steps until you achieve this clearance. You will then have the correct dose height for your espresso machine. Adjust grind size only until you get the right rate of espresso flow, while keeping the Razor™ dose height and tamp pressure consistent.
Step 5:
Select Your Grind Size
For espresso, we recommend starting withgrind size setting 15 and rotating the Hopper (to adjust the Grind Size Collar) either coarser or finer until your preferred flavor profile is achieved. This should be done in conjunction with setting the grind amount (dose).Refer to the Coffee Chart on page 12 for approximate grind size guide.
You will need to extract a shot of espresso to determine if a change in grind size and/ or grind amount is necessary to achieve the correct rate of flow. Traditionally, a single shot of espresso is defined as ~ 1oz in 30 seconds and a double shot of espresso as ~ 2oz
in 30 seconds.
NOTE
If the Grind Size Collar is tight, run the grinder by pressing the START|CANCEL button while turning the Hopper. This will release coffee grounds caught between the burrs.
GRINDING INTO A GRINDS CONTAINER OR COFFEE FILTER
Step 1:
Remove cradle by sliding out from under the grind outlet.Place your container or coffee filter directly under grind outlet. Step 2:
Select the required amount of ground coffee by rotating the GRIND TIME dial.
Refer to Coffee Chart on page 12 for approximate grind amount guide for various brew methods.
Step 3:
Select Your Grind Size
Rotate the Hopper to adjust the Grind Size Collar until it reaches the required brewing method range. Within each brew method, Percolator, Drip or French Press, there is a range of grind size settings. We recommend you start in the center of each range, then
experiment with grind size within each range until you get the flavor balance that suits you.

*This coffee chart should be used as starting point to adjust your grind time and / or size, as both may vary when using different coffee bean types, age and degree of roast.
ADJUSTING CONICAL BURRS
Some types of coffee may require a wider grind range to achieve an ideal extraction or brew.
A feature of your Dose Control™ Pro is the ability to extend this range with an adjustable upper burr. We recommend making only one adjustment at a time.

Care & Cleaning

Empty beans from the hopper and grind out any excess beans (see below).
Unplug power cord from power outlet before cleaning.
Wash the hopper lid and bean hopper in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Wipe and polish exterior of appliance with a soft damp cloth.
NOTE
Do not use alkaline or abrasive cleaning agents, steel wool or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface.
NOTE
Please do not clean any grinder parts or accessories in the dishwasher.
CLEANING CONICAL BURRS
Regular cleaning helps the burrs achieve consistent grinding results which is especially important when grinding for espresso coffee.

Hints & Tips

MAKING BETTER QUALITY COFFEE

• Freshly ground coffee is the key to making coffee with more flavor and body.
• Coffee flavor and strength is a personal preference. Vary the type of coffee beans, amount of coffee and grind size to achieve the flavor you prefer.
• Use freshly roasted coffee beans with a ‘roasted on’ date to maximize flavor, not a useby or best before date.
• Use coffee beans between 5 and 20 days afterthe ‘roasted on’ date for optimal freshness.
• Store coffee beans in a dark, cool and dry place. Vacuum seal if possible.
• Buy in small batches to reduce the storage time.
• Once coffee is ground, it quickly loses its flavor and aroma. For the best results, grind beans immediately before brewing.
• Do not store beans in the bean hopper. Placethem back in an airtight container.
• When storing the appliance, run grinder empty to clear ground beans left in chamber.
• Run grinder for 2 seconds to purge some coffee before each use, for maximum freshness.
• Clean the bean hopper and conical burrs regularly.

FRENCH PRESS
Follow these easy steps for a great cup:

1. Using a variable temperature kettle, heat the appropriate volume of water to 200˚F. This is an ideal temperature for brewing coffee. Do not use boiling water.
2. Select grind size setting 50.
3. Select the Grind Amount for the number  of cups you are brewing. Refer to Coffee Chart on page 12.
4. Place the ground coffee in the press vessel.
5. Pour the heated water into the press in a swirling manner to ensure all the ground coffee is soaked and the press vessel is full. The ‘bloom’ (expanding coffee and gases) should reach the top of the press.
6. Using a timer, wait 4 minutes.
7. Using a spoon, break the ‘crust’ (the bloom becomes dense and a bit hard).
8. Insert the French Press and carefully press down.
9. Do not press too hard. Gently release pressure by pulling up slightly and press down again if you have pressed too hard.
