FAQs
Can this grinder be used for coarse grinds like French press?
Yes, the adjustment dial allows for a wide range of settings, including the coarser settings required for French press.
How do I change the grind setting?
Simply rotate the hopper or the adjustment dial to your desired setting marked on the machine.
Is the grinder loud during operation?
Like most high-quality burr grinders, it produces a moderate sound during operation, but the consistent grind quality makes it efficient.
Can I store coffee beans in the hopper?
While the hopper holds beans, it is recommended to store only what you intend to use within a few days to keep the coffee fresh.
Is the exterior easy to clean?
The cream-finished exterior can be wiped clean with a soft, damp microfiber cloth.
Does this grinder come with a warranty?
Yes, Smeg provides a standard manufacturer's warranty. Please check your specific region's documentation for exact coverage details.
Troubleshooting
The grinder motor is running but no coffee is being dispensed.
Check if the bean hopper is properly seated and the trap door is open; ensure there is no obstruction in the chute.
The grind size is uneven.
Ensure the hopper is locked into the correct position and clean the burrs of any old coffee oil buildup or debris.
Machine will not start.
Confirm that the machine is plugged into a functional outlet and that the bean hopper is correctly locked, as the machine has a safety switch that prevents operation when the hopper is removed.
