Espressions is very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer products,
but it is essential that the product user also exercise
care when using an electrical appliance. Listed
below are precautions which are essential for the
safe use of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by
grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the
appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord
unless this cord has been checked and tested by
a qualified technician or service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of
the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the appliance.
• The appliances shall not be used by children.
Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of
children. Appliances can be used by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and knowledge if they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and if they

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or on a heated oven.
• Do not place on top of any other appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch any
hot surface.
• In order to avoid a hazard, do not operate any
electrical appliance with a damaged cord or after
the appliance has been damaged in any manner.
If damage is suspected, return the appliance to
the nearest Espressions Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Espressions
recommends the use of a residual current device
(RCD with a tripping current not exceeding
30mA) in the electrical circuit, supplying power
to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.

kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments; farm houses; by clients in hotels,
motels and other residential type environments;
bed and breakfast type environments.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance, please contact your

Congratulations on the purchase of your
Espressions Precision Grinder, designed and
engineered in Australia.
Espressions delivers quality, style and
superior performance capturing the essence
of the commercial kitchen. Inspired by heavy-
duty equipment found in restaurants, cafes
and bars, the Precision Grinder is built to
last. It brings together a range of appliances
designed to expertly create authentic café
food and beverages at home.
Uncompromising blends of stainless steel
and die-cast alloy characterise the range.
This, combined with advanced technology
and functional design, guarantee that each
product will surpass expectations.
When making coffee regardless of the
brewing method the flavour of the resulting
brew depends largely on the quality,
freshness and roast of the coffee beans used.
Other factors that can also affect the taste of
the final cup include the purity of the brew
water, the condition of the grinder and the
actual design of the burr mechanism within
the grinder.
The Espressions grinder features tool
hardened steel conical burrs for extra long
life. The conical burr design ensures that
the particle size of the coffee is consistent
and even. This is especially important for
espresso, if the particle size of the coffee
is uniform equal amounts of the coffee’s
aromatic profile will be extracted.
If, however, the particle size of the coffee
varies some particles will be over-extracted
and some will be under-extracted, resulting in
a poor tasting coffee.
Another advantage of the conical burr design
is its slow rotating operation. This combined
with a belt-driven motor, minimises heat
transfer to the burrs and thus protects the
aromatic profile of the coffee and ultimately
enhances the quality of the resulting brew.
The Espressions Precision Grinder is
constructed with quality die-cast metal
components and includes many features that
make grinding coffee at home easy so you
can enjoy a lovely fresh cup of coffee every
time. We hope you enjoy your new coffee
grinder!
Congratulations

Operating your Espressions
Precision Grinder
Before using the coffee grinder, wipe the
base exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the
bean hopper and hopper lid in warm soapy
water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Note: Do not immerse the grind cartridge in
water or any other liquid.
Note: Do not place any parts of the coffee
grinder in the dishwasher.
1.Place the coffee grinder on a dry, level
surface.
2.To attach the bean hopper, align the arrow
on the hopper with the arrow on the top of
the grind cartridge and turn clockwise to
lock. See figure 1.
The grinder will not function without the
hopper in place.
3.Fill the bean hopper with coffee beans.
Tip: To maintain an even weight bearing down
on the burrs, we recommend keeping the
hopper at least half full. This ensures a more
consistent grind is achieved.
Note: This coffee grinder is intended to grind
whole coffee beans only.
4.Place the hopper lid onto the bean hopper
and open the hopper closure arm.
5.Ensure operation dial is off, plug the power
cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet and
switch the power on.
6.Select the grind by turning the grind
adjustment collar to the desired setting,
see figure 2.
Refer to the grind setting table on page 11 to
assist you in selecting the correct grind level
for the desired brewing method.
