Burr Grinder Features

Motor Housing

Die-cast metal housing is stable, durable, and easy to clean.

Bean Hopper

198 g capacity bean hopper unscrews from the motor housing for simple cleaning. Press-fit hopper lid makes for quick and easy filling. Hopper and lid are dishwasher-safe (top rack only).

Coffee Bin

Coffee bin is glass to minimize the static “cling” of coffee grinds. Bin is dishwasher-safe (top rack only).

Bin Platform

Platform pad seats the coffee bin under the grinding spout.

Bin Seal Plate

Plate helps position the coffee bin under the grinding spout and prevents coffee grinds from escaping.

Grind Control Dial

Large, easy-to-use dial selects one of 15 grind levels in half-step increments from 1 to 8.

Grind Level Ring

Metal ring displays grind levels 1 (coarse) through 8 (fine).

On/Off Switch

Switch “I” to grind, “O” to stop.

Faceplate Assembly & Screws

Assembly includes the grind control dial and grind level ring. Two faceplate screws attach the faceplate assembly to the motor housing. Loosen the screws and remove the faceplate assembly to access the burrs.

Precision Stainless Steel

Cutting Burrs

Large 5.72 cm diameter flat cutting burrs provide long life and superb grind consistency. Burrs can be adjusted to compensate for wear, or calibrated to meet stringent grind- size specifications for espresso and French Press grinds.

Low-RPM Operation

A special DC motor and gear reduction system slows the rotation of the cutting burrs, minimizing the frictional heating of the grinds and preserving coffee flavor and aroma. The low rpm operation also reduces the static charge – and “cling” – of coffee grinds.

Power Cord with Tie

Round cord has no grind-trapping seams; the tie can be used to bundle any excess.

One-Piece Metal Base with No-Slip Rubber Feet

Metal base provides a stable platform for the grinder. Rubber feet dampen noise and vibration, and help protect the countertop.

Burr Cleaning Brush

Dense bristles sweep grinds from the cutting burrs quickly and easily.

Coffee Scoop

One level scoop holds 7 g of coffee, just the right amount for a single cup (30 ml) of espresso.
