OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE GRINDER OVERVIEW Your Dose Control™ Pro uses hardened stainless steel Conical Burrs and can grind whole bean coffee suitable for a range of brewing methods, from the finest setting for Espresso to the coarsest setting for Plunger. The grind amount (dose) for all coffee types is controlled by an electronic timer. The dose for each brew method can be adjusted by rotating the GRIND TIME dial and changing the time the grinder will run.
OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE The bean hopper can be removed by holding the hopper and turning the Dial anti-clockwise and lifting hopper to remove. The locking system allows you to remove and transfer beans in the hopper to a storage container safely. Step 2: Selecting Grind Amount Select the desired amount of ground coffee required by turning the GRIND TIME dial. GRINDING FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE Use single wall filter baskets when grinding fresh coffee beans.
OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE Step 4: APPLY PRESSURE AT BOTH ENDS Trimming the Dose 50mm The adjustable Razor™ Dose Trimming Tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction. Select the correct width blade of the Razor™ to match the diameter of your filter basket. The Razor™ has three blades of varying widths: 58mm, 54mm and 50mm. The 58mm and 54mm are already fitted within the Razor™ body. The 50mm is separate.
OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE Your filter basket is now dosed with the correct amount of coffee for your Sage® espresso machine.
