North American models with a grounded plug:
POLARIZED PLUG: This grinder has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any
way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW: Warning: This grinder
is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the
outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service
personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD:
a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.
b) Extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
c) If an extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the grinder. - If the grinder is of the grounded type, the extension cord
should be a grounding-type cord. - The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.
Product Usage Instructions

espresso). - Once the grinding is complete, turn off the grinder and unplug
it from the power outlet. - Open the lid and carefully remove the ground coffee from the
grinding bowl. - Dispose of any remaining coffee grounds in an appropriate

5. The Tips For Perfect Powder
Element 1: Beans or Spices
1-Choose suitable coffee beans according to different coffee types. We recommend medium or dark roasted beans for making espresso, and medium roasted beans for making americano.
2-Bad beans will not only affect your grinding results but also ruin your final coffee. There are many types of beans on the market. To ensure best grinding results, high quality beans are recommended.
3-Buy in small batches to reduce the storage time due to use freshly roasted coffee beans with a ‘roasted on’ date to maximize flavor, not a use-by or best before date.
4-Store coffee beans in a dark, cool and dry place. Vacuum seal if possible. Do not store beans in the bean hopper. Place them back in an airtight container. If you buy large portions of beans, separate them into one or two week portions and store them in airtight containers. Preserve freshness by minimizing exposure to air, light, and moisture.
5-This grinder can be used only for grinding dry, fragile foods. Items that are too hard, too long, moist, or sticky, such as ginger, chocolate, sesame, oily spices, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, are not suitable for this grinder. Trying to grind these items will possibly damage the grinder.
12
5. The Quest For Perfect Powder
6-Grinding peppercorns, herbs, or spices can produce strong aromas and flavors, which will affect the flavor of your subsequently ground coffee. If you plan to grind those items rich in flavor, you may need to purchase another grinder.
Element 2: Grinding Size
1-Optimal grind size depends on many factors including brewing method, roast darkness, bean type and freshness, and more. Experiment with different grinding time to achieve the brew that best suits your taste.
2-You may need to vary the grind size when using different coffee beans and depending on bean freshness. Adjust amount of coffee beans and grinding time to suit your own personal taste. You can refer to the following table:
Type Coarse
There are 3 coffee grind types
Grinding time
Application
15 seconds
Large chunks of coffee beans. Used for percolators and coffee urns.
Medium
20 seconds
Used for drip coffee makers and steam-type espresso machines.
Fine
25 seconds
Used for espresso machines with an electric pump.
13
5. The Quest For Perfect Powder
3-Shorter grinding time results in coarser grinds. Longer grinding times result in finer grinds, but can overheat the powder and valuable coffee flavors can be lost.
NOTE
1-If the grind is too fine, overextraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog the filter and cause water to overflow. 2-If grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the maximum flavor will not be extracted.
Element 3: Operation Tips
1-The grinder will not operate if the transparent lid is not properly locked. 2-Do not remove lid until blades come to a complete stop. 3-The maximum capacity of coffee beans that can be loaded into the grinder shall not exceed 60 grams. 4-It is recommended not to pour too many beans into the bean hopper at once. Overfilling can cause the grinder to overheat and malfunction.

6. Operation Guide
NOTE
A single time of continuous grinding shall not exceed 40 seconds, because the longer the grinder works, the easier it will heat up, which will indirectly cause the ground item to release aroma in advance due to the heat. Grinding coffee beans past the instructed time limit will not only affect the taste of the coffee but also possibly damage the grinding motor due to overheating.
6.2 Grinding Nuts or Spices
1-The operation steps are the same as the above “6.1 Grinding Coffee Beans”. 2-For the selection and notes of grinding items, refer to “Element 1: Beans or Spices”, page 12. 3-Ensure the grinder is always clean or use a second grinder if you grind both spices and coffee regularly.
17
7. Overheat Protection
To protect its motor and increase its lifespan, the grinder will automatically shut off due to overheating after continuous operation for over 40 seconds each time.
This cooling-off period protects your ground coffee from becoming overheated before it’s brewed. Wait 3 minutes until the grinder has cooled sufficiently before reuse.
8. Cleaning & Maintenance
8.1 Before Use
1-This grinder can be used only for grinding dry, fragile foods. Items that are too hard, too long, moist, or sticky, such as ginger, chocolate, sesame, oily spices, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, are not suitable for this grinder. Trying to grind these items will possibly damage the grinder. 2-Grinding peppercorns, herbs, or spices can produce strong aromas and flavors, which will affect the flavor of your subsequently ground coffee. If you plan to grind those items rich in flavor, you may need to purchase another grinder.
3-Choose appropriate coffee beans to suit your brewing method. We recommend medium or dark roasted beans for making espresso, and medium roasted beans for making americano.
18
8. Cleaning & Maintenance
4-Adjust grinding time according to your brewing method. We recommend grinding approx. 25 seconds for espresso, approx. 20 seconds for mocha coffee, approx. 15 seconds for drip/pourover coffee, and approx. 10 seconds for French press. 5-The maximum capacity of coffee beans that can be loaded into the grinder shall not exceed 60 grams.
6-A single time of continuous grinding shall not exceed 40 seconds, because the longer the grinder works, the easier it will heat up, which will indirectly cause the ground item to release aromas in advance due to the heat. Grinding coffee beans past the instructed time limit will not only affect the taste of the coffee but also possibly damage the grinding motor due to overheating.
8.2 In Use
1-This grinder has only one ON/OFF button, keep pressing the button for grinding.
2-During grinding, you need to waggle the grinder to make the grinds more evenly spread. 3-During grinding, you can see through the transparent lid to monitor the grinding process.

8.3 After Use
Please strictly follow the instructions and requirements below to clean the grinder, otherwise, the flavors of your coffee will be affected or the lifespan of the grinder will be shortened.
