Adjusting the Cutting Burrs
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”.
