Baratza Maestro Plus - Manual (Page 8)


Adjustable Self Timer
The Maestro Plus is equipped with a 60
second timer switch. Each segment around
the timer represents about 10 seconds of run
time. The grinder switches off automatically
once the time has elapsed. If you want to
interrupt grinding before the time has elapsed,
simply turn the timer switch counterclockwise
until the grinder switches off.
The quantity of ground coffee you need depends on
the type of bean, coarseness of the grind, brewing
method and personal taste. With use, you will find
the most suitable settings for your personal taste.
Front Mounted Pulse Button
For short duration grinding, the Maestro Plus is
equipped with a front mounted pulse button. It can
be used for grinding directly into an espresso-brew-
ing basket. Remove the grounds bin and position the espresso-basket
inside the grinder directly below the pulse button (see photo). Push
and hold the pulse button to grind. Grinding will stop when the button is
released.
Note: It is important that the espresso
basket is held below the discharge
chute so the coffee powder can free fall
into the basket. Holding the basket up
tight to the discharge chute will cause
coffee to back up and jam your grinder.
