Setting The Macro And Micro Grind Adjustment - Baratza Vario Operation Manual

Initial Set Up
Place the Vario Grinder on a level
surface. Insert the hopper by lining
up the two small tabs on the base
of the hopper with their respec-
tive slots, turn clockwise until the
back tab lines up with the mark on
the back of the grinder. Insert the
plug into an AC outlet. Pour the
desired quantity of roasted whole
coffee beans into the hopper up
to a maximum of 250 Grams. Re-
place the lid. Ensure the ground
coffee bin or PortaHolder
inserted.
Setting the Macro and Micro
Grind Adjustment
Move the Macro lever up or down
to the desired range of grind size
(Note: whenever moving the Mac-
ro lever up the grinder should be
running). Set the Micro adjustment
lever to the middle of the scale.
Grind a small amount of coffee by
pressing the START button, then
pressing it again to stop. Check
the particle size. If the particle size
is close to what you desire, now
use the Micro lever to "fine tune"
your grind size. If the particle size
needs a big change, then adjust
the Macro lever to a new position,
then fine tune with the Micro lever.
The full range on the Micro scale is
equal to one "click" or position on
the Macro scale. With both levers,
moving UP produces a smaller
particle size and DOWN produces
a larger particle size. The actual
grind size for a particular setting will
vary depending on many factors,
including: degree of roast (light vs.
dark), freshness, humidity, type of
bean, oil content, etc. With use,
you will determine the setting that
is right for your taste, brewing style
and your favorite beans.
