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 (8) in warm, soapy water, and dry thoroughly. Do not wash the removable ring burr (5) in water or it will rust.
- Line up the knob (9) (stored in the ground coffee bin (8)) with the stem of the switch on the right side of the unit and press the knob fully in place. You can wiggle the knob if you’re having trouble getting it fully seated.
- 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 ⅛” (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 silver 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 5 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 using the adjustment ring tabs (13) for leverage, if needed and then continue from step 3.
During normal operation, the coffee tends to mound up in the bin when being discharged from the grinder. To prevent unnecessary clogging, empty the ground coffee bin when it is 2/3 of the way full.

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
Finer Grind = lower numbers Coarser Grind = higher numbers

Suggested Setting | 8 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 20 | 28 |
For precise adjustments, always adjust grind size while grinding coffee. Keeping some coffee in the hopper, while in operation, will greatly
improve the consistency and repeatability of your results.
