Embrace the Homtone Coffee Grinder and take your espresso brewing to new heights. With its user-friendly design and innovative features, you'll be well on your way to becoming a barista in your own home.

Step 1: Assemble Your Portafilter Cradle The Homtone Coffee Grinder comes with two portafilter cradles, designed to fit portafilters with a diameter of 53mm and 58mm, along with different rib thicknesses. Choose the cradle that matches your portafilter and assemble it by inserting it into the grinder's end until you hear a clear click sound. This indicates that the espresso mode has been activated.

Step 2: Secure Your Portafilter Place your portafilter into the cradle, ensuring it fits stably and horizontally. The cradle's design grips the portafilter firmly, providing a secure platform for grinding. This stability is crucial for an even grind and a consistent espresso shot.

Step 3: Start Grinding Initiate the grinding process by pushing the portafilter into the machine. The Homtone grinder's intuitive design allows you to start and stop grinding with a simple push. Push the portafilter in to begin, and push again to stop. This hands-on approach gives you full control over the grinding process.

Step 4: Remove the Portafilter Cradle Once you've achieved the desired grind, remove the portafilter cradle. The grinder will automatically revert to the last used grinding mode, whether it was by cups or by grinding time. This feature allows you to switch between grinding modes with ease, catering to various brewing needs.

Step 5: Use the Dosing Ring The Homtone Coffee Grinder also includes a 53mm & 58mm Dosing Ring designed for espresso. This ring fits over the portafilter basket, helping to prevent coffee grounds from overflowing. It ensures that your coffee grounds are contained within the basket, maintaining a tidy and efficient brewing environment.
