INITIAL SETUP

For the full manual, visit baratza.com/documentation

Hand-wash the hopper lid (1), hopper (2), black silicone gasket (4), and ground coffee bin (9) in warm, soapy water, and dry thoroughly. Do not wash the removable ring burr (5) in water or it will rust.
The ring burr (5) has a red tab and it should be pointing to grind setting 30.
Be careful not to tear the gasket. Place the gasket (4) on top of the ring burr (5), align the gasket notches with the ring burr tabs (one of which is red) and gently work the gasket down until it is seated on the top 1⁄8” (4mm) of the ring burr (5).
To install the hopper, ensure the silver grind setting indicator (3) is positioned to the right, and aligned with the black triangle marker on the case. Press the hopper down and twist clockwise to setting 20. You should hear the hopper click as it rotates.
If Step 4 is not working well: The black grind adjustment ring (12) must be rotated fully counterclockwise for the hopper to install. You can rotate the grind adjustment ring (12) by hand, using the adjustment ring tabs (13) for leverage, if needed and then continue from step 3.

CHOOSING A GRIND SETTING

Rotate the hopper to adjust to your desired grind setting. When adjusting finer, the grinder must be running or completely empty of beans to prevent the adjustment system from binding on beans that are between the burrs. Below are some general settings to start with for a variety of brew methods. You will need to dial in the grind to your preference from here. Additional information can be found at baratza.com/grinding-tips

Finer Grind = lower numbers
Coarser Grind = higher numbers

| Espresso| AeroPress| Hario V60| Automatic Brewer| Chemex| French Press
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Suggested Setting| 8| 12| 15| 18| 20| 28

Do not fill the grounds bin above the indicated fill line or the grinder may become plugged and require unclogging.

PROGRAMMING

See operations manual for full details: baratza.com/documentation Grind time is adjusted by rotating the dial. Clockwise rotation increases grind time in 1.0 second increments, and counterclockwise rotation decreases grind time in 0.1 second increments. Rotate clockwise until just above the desired time, then rotate counterclockwise to the setting. The adjustment range is a loop that continues from 40.0 to 1.0. To manually grind, press the dial in for 3 seconds to enter Pulse mode, then press and hold the dial to grind. Rotating the dial exits pulse mode.
