11 - Grinding Co ee. When you are dialed into your grind size, you
can dump your co ee dose into the Bean Dish. You may use either a
clicker
"Hot Start" where the grinder is on/spinning before the beans are
introduced, or a "Cold Start" where the beans are added before
turning the grinder on. We typically recommend using a Hot Start
when operating the EG-1. When the dose is nished grinding
(around ~10s for a 20g dose), you can purge any residual ground
co ee in the spout by using the "clicker" located behind the bean
funnels.

12 - Cleaning the Grinder. The EG-1 was designed to be extremely


quick and easy to clean. This makes it a daily process with no tools
required. Start by ensuring that the grinder is powered down at removing upper &
mains and the on/o button is not depressed. Remove both the lower funnels:
Upper and Lower funnels to have access to the grind chamber. Pull pull down, then out
down to disengage the funnel covers from the pins and magnets,
then pull up/down to remove them from the main body unit and set 2
them aside. Use a small brush to clean any co ee residue from the
surfaces in the grind chamber. A wipe with a damp towel is also OK,
but never put any of the EG-1 parts into the dishwasher as this will
ruin them. Videos can be seen on our Youtube channel 1
(youtube.com/weberworkshops)

13 - Sleep & Power O . The grinder is programmed to go into sleep


mode after 60 seconds of inactivity. The LED display will dim. It can
2
be woken up instantaneously by pressing the on/o button. We 1
recommend powering down at mains overnight for cafes, or during
any prolonged period of non use in the home.
