Dial in grind
• From the zero point, rotate the locking ring counter-clockwise
1.75 turns (630 degrees). This is a good starting point for
espresso, but will likely require further adjustment depending
on your beans and setup. For pour-over, another full turn in the
larger direction is a good starting point.
• lower the locking ring onto the burr collar pins
• IMPORTANT! Verify the locking ring sits flush with the burr
collar, and the pins are completely engaged. Try to rotate the
locking ring to ensure the burrs are locked. If you operate the
grinder with the burrs improperly secured, you could potentially
sieze the machine
