The Palico Grindtech is a premium quality, portable coffee grinder designed for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate freshly ground coffee on the go. This instruction manual outlines its features, usage, and maintenance to ensure a seamless brewing experience.
The Grindtech is an electric coffee grinder that allows users to grind coffee beans to their desired coarseness for various brewing methods. It features a compact design, making it suitable for travel. The device operates with a built-in hopper for coffee beans and a container for ground coffee. It offers multiple grind size settings, catering to different coffee styles from espresso to French press. The grinder can be controlled manually via a button on the device or through a dedicated mobile application, providing flexibility and convenience. It is powered by a rechargeable battery and comes with a wireless charging base for easy power replenishment.
The Grindtech is designed for ease of use, offering both manual and app-controlled operation.
Before initial use, the Grindtech must be charged. It utilizes a Type-C USB cable to connect the wireless charging base to a power adapter. Once the base is connected, it's ready for use. To charge the Grindtech, simply place it in the center of the wireless charging base. Charging begins automatically. Users can monitor the battery status through the connected Bluetooth app, which will display "Charging" and the battery capacity. If the device is not charging or is still in low battery, users should ensure the Grindtech is correctly positioned on the wireless charging base and that the USB Type-C cable is securely plugged in.
To begin grinding, the upper housing of the Grindtech needs to be opened. Coffee beans are then poured into the bean hopper, which has a capacity of 20-25 grams.
The Grindtech offers 20 different grind size settings, allowing users to customize their grind for various coffee styles. The grind size is selected by rotating the lower housing of the device. The manual provides a reference table that correlates grind sizes (from 1.0 to 5.0) with common brewing methods such as Espresso, Moka Pot, Coffeeology Press, AeroPress, Pour-over, Steep, and French Press. For example, finer grinds (e.g., 1.0-1.8) are suitable for Espresso, while coarser grinds (e.g., 4.0-5.0) are recommended for Steep and French Press.
Waking up the Grindtech: To turn on the device, press the "P" logo once. A breathing green light will illuminate on the top, indicating that the grinder is in ready mode.
Manual Control: To start the grinding process manually, press and hold the "P" logo for 2 seconds. A breathing blue light will appear on top of the Grindtech, signifying that grinding has begun. To stop grinding, press the "P" logo twice. The grinding process can be stopped at any time by pressing the "P" logo.
App Control: For a more integrated experience, users can connect the Grindtech to the PALICO app via Bluetooth. Once connected, pressing the "Grind" button within the app will initiate the grinding job. Pressing "Grind" again will stop the process. Similar to manual control, grinding can be stopped at any point through the app.
After the desired quantity of coffee beans has been ground, the coffee grounds can be poured into any brewing tool. The Grindtech is designed with an auto-off feature; if left idle, it will automatically turn off after 2 minutes of grinding, preventing unnecessary battery drain.
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the Grindtech.
It is crucial to keep the grinder dry, as it cannot be washed with water. After each use, the included cleaning brush should be used to gently brush away any residual coffee grounds from the hopper and the bean container.
Coffee beans contain oils that can accumulate and coat the hopper, burrs, and grinding chamber over time. For grinders used for more than 6 months, a deep clean is necessary to remove accumulated oil, dirt, and coffee particles. This can be achieved by grinding 3-5 grams of rice.
The deep cleaning procedure is as follows:
Important Note: The hopper is built inside the grinder and should not be twisted out.
