Adjusting the Cutting Burrs

English

From the factory, the Artisan™ Burr Grinder will provide grinds suitable for almost all types of brewing. If you’re an espresso or French Press aficionado, however, you may wish to adjust the cutting burrs to provide optimum performance for your style of brewing. With adjustment, the Artisan™ Burr Grinder will easily meet stringent grind-size specifications for espresso (250 micron grind size) or French Press brewing (1500 micron grind size).

Adjusting to Provide

Coarser Grinds

When the grinder is adjusted to provide coarser grinds, grind sizes will increase throughout the grinding range and the finest level may become too coarse for espresso. (To re-calibrate the grinder for maximum fineness, see page 11.)

1.Turn the grind control dial to level “1”.

2.Using a 4 mm wrench, remove the screw located in the front of the grind control dial by turning it counter-clockwise. Once the screw is free, remove the grind control dial. The white grind control gear should be visible once the dial is removed.

3.Rotate the grind control gear counter-clockwise 1 “click” or detent at a time until the “clicking” sound diminishes and the gear offers little resistance to being turned.

4.Re-attach the grind control dial, making certain the dial indicator points to level “1”.
