Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Porlex Mini II is ready to use out of the box. Simply adjust the grind setting by turning the adjustment knob located at the bottom of the burr set before filling the hopper with beans.
Compatibility: This grinder is compatible with all whole bean coffee varieties. It is designed to work with various brewing methods, from espresso to French press.
Care:
- Regular Cleaning: After each use, empty any residual grounds. Periodically, disassemble the grinder for a more thorough cleaning.
- Disassembly: Unscrew the base, remove the catch cup, and carefully lift out the inner burr. The outer burr should remain in place.
- Cleaning Burrs: Use a small brush (like a pastry brush or the brush that may come with the grinder) to clean the ceramic burrs and the interior of the grinder. Avoid using water directly on the burrs if possible, as moisture can lead to corrosion or affect performance. If water cleaning is necessary, ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before reassembly.
- Body: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Reassembly: Reassemble the grinder in reverse order, ensuring the inner burr is seated correctly before screwing the base back on.
