SINGLE DOSE, FILTER GRIND, YOUR OWN DOSE

Lift the lock lever placed behind the hopper to unlock the swing-arm.
Swing the upper part of the Swift Mini and rotate it 45° clockwise.
Pull down the lock lever to lock the swing-arm in the new position.
If you wish to grind for single dose baskets (7gr), press the button and grind directly into the 7gr filter basket.
If you wish to grind for filter coffee, change the coffee grind (likely to have to make it coarser), press the button and grind directly into the desired container.

SETTING GRIND AND DOSE

When brewing coffee remember that a good starting point for a double espresso is a volume of 28-34 cc (1 oz) extracted in approximately 25-30 sec, unless otherwise stated on your coffee bag.
If the extraction time is faster than 25-30 sec you are likely to have a too coarse grind and need to adjust it to make it finer. Adjust the grind by rotating the top wheel counterclockwise.
If the extraction time is slower that 25-30 sec you are likely to have a too fine grind and need to adjust it to make it coarser. Adjust the grind by rotating the top wheel clockwise.
Repeat this procedure until you extract the desired volume in the correct time.
When changing the grind, remember that you DO NOT need to purge the grinder, but the adjustment is immediately effective.
With the help of an external scale, you may need to adjust the coffee dose inside your filter basket according to specific coffee recipes.
To increase the coffee dose, turn the bottom wheel counterclockwise.
To decrease the coffee dose, turn the bottom wheel clockwise.
Repeat this procedure until you have reached the desired coffee dose.

MAINTENANCE

Move the swing-arm as if you were to grind for single dose / filter, from this position you'll be able to clean burrs, grinding channel, impeller wheel.
Close the hopper and remove it by turning it counterclockwise and lifting it.
Use the brush to clean the lower part of the burrs.
Use the brush to clean the top burr.
Lift up the grinding channel and its lid to clean it.
Pull down the impeller wheel to clean it.
Insert back the grinding channel and its lid by following the guides.
Lock back the impeller wheel in position by attaching it to the grinder with its own magnet by following the hexagonal guide.
Attach the hopper and move back the swing-arm.

After the procedure if you bring back the adjustment wheel to the same number you will get the same grinding without needing to re-adjust the grind.
