What is the capacity of the coffee grinder?
The grinder holds up to 60g of coffee beans, which is approximately enough for 6 standard cups of coffee.
How long does the battery last on a single charge?
Specific battery life varies with usage, but it is designed to grind up to 60g of coffee on a full charge.
Can I wash the grinder with water?
No, the main unit with the motor and electronics should never be submerged in water. Only the removable grinding chamber components (if specified in the manual) may be gently cleaned, and always ensure they are completely dry before reassembly. The burrs should be cleaned with a brush.

How do I charge the coffee grinder?
The grinder is rechargeable via a standard USB cable. Connect it to a USB power source such as a wall adapter, power bank, or computer.
What material are the grinding burrs made of?
The grinding burrs are made of ceramic, which helps to prevent heat buildup during grinding, thus preserving the coffee's flavor and aroma.
Can I use this grinder for spices?
While technically possible, this grinder is specifically designed for coffee beans. Grinding spices may affect the grinder's performance and flavor for future coffee use due to residual spice oils and particles. It is recommended to use it only for coffee.
Troubleshooting
Grinder not turning on.
Ensure the grinder is adequately charged. Check that all components are properly assembled and locked into place. Try a different USB port or charging adapter.
Uneven or inconsistent grind.
Check for any obstructions in the grinding chamber or on the burrs. Ensure the bean hopper is not overfilled. Adjust the grind setting to a coarser or finer setting to see if consistency improves.
Grinder stops mid-grind.
The grinder may have overheated or the motor might be overloaded. Allow it to cool down for a few minutes. Reduce the amount of beans being ground at one time. Ensure the burrs are clean and free of blockages.
Difficulty adjusting grind settings.
Ensure the grinder is clean and free of coffee grounds that might be impeding the adjustment mechanism. Gently try to turn the dial; do not force it.
