ASSEMBLING YOUR SAGE SMART GRINDER™ PRO

Bean Hopper

Align tabs on the base of the bean hopper and insert hopper into position. Turn the bean hopper dial 90^ to lock into position. Fill with fresh coffee beans and secure lid on top of bean hopper.

COFFEE CHART

GRINDING FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE

NOTE

This machine is designed only for whole roasted coffee beans. Avoid grinding unroasted green and under-roasted coffee beans. These are dense and not brittle enough to run through a burr grinder. This will damage or break burr grinders and even pose a safety risk.

Use single wall filter baskets when grinding fresh coffee beans. Use the finer 1-30 settings in the ESPRESSO range.

STEP 1:

Insert the appropriate portafilter cradle size. Insert your portafilter into the cradle.

NOTE

Maximum number of shots with the cradle inserted is 2.

AMOUNT	1 UP TO 8 SHOTS	1 UP TO 12 CUPS	1 UP TO 12 CUPS	1 UP TO 12 CUPS

STEP 2:

Selecting your SHOTS / CUPS

Select the desired amount of ground coffee required by pressing the SHOTS/CUPS button.

Rotate the Grind Amount Dial to adjust the grinding time to achieve the correct amount of coffee.

For espresso, we recommend selecting Grind Size setting 12 as a starting point and moving the Grind Size dial Coarser or Finer to adjust the flow of espresso as required.

NOTE

If the Grind Size Dial is tight, run the grinder by pressing the START / PAUSE / CANCEL button while turning the Grind Size Dial. This will release coffee grounds caught between the burrs.
