PortaHolder Set-Up and Use
Insert the PortaHolder into the grinder until it clicks. Then insert your portafilter
into the PortaHolder by tipping the basket down so the lip of the portafilter slides
under and gets hooked by the hook bracket at the top rear of the PortaHolder
while the base of the basket is supported by the two metal fingers that extend
from the PortaHolder. If the portafilter basket is not horizontal in the holder,
remove the screw holding the lower bracket and move the bracket higher or
lower in order to level the portafilter basket.

Burr Calibration
All directional indications assume you are looking down on the machine.
A 2mm Allen head calibration screw is located in the round hole behind the
discharge chute (see photo). This calibration screw allows the user to easily
fine-tune the calibration of the burr in the finer or coarser direction while the
grinder is running. To make the adjustment, empty all beans from the grinder.
Turn the grinder on and lower the Macro and Micro levers, all the way to the
bottom. Let the grinder run long enough to expel any remaining ground coffee.

any one of the preset buttons, then press START and insert the Calibration tool
into the 2mm Allen head screw (The grinder will run until you press the STOP
button). With the motor running, move the Macro arm up to the top (setting 1).
You should not hear any change in motor speed. Now, slowly move the Micro
arm up to the midpoint(setting M). If the motor hasn’t started to slow, use
