LAGOM Mini
Compact Electric Coffee Grinder
Quick Start Guide
Safety Warning
To operate the grinder safely:
-Always operate with the bean loading funnel completely
assembled and the finger guard attached for safety.
-Never operate the grinder in a wet environment or with
wet hands.
-Do not allow liquid/water to come in contact with
internal or external parts of the grinder.
-Do not grind any non-coffee materials (such as grains,
spices, sugar etc.).
-Unplug the power supply before working on the grinder
such as for cleaning and maintenance.
-Do not disassemble the grinder without authorisation.
Please consult prior to performing any disassembly to
avoid any unintended damage.
Grind Adjustment
Tips: To dial in quickly, find the zero of the grinder first by
rotating the hopper towards the finer direction (by
clockwise) until the burrs are locked. Your zero-setting is
when the burrs are fully closed.
To adjust to a coarser grind setting, rotate the bean
hopper counter clockwise. Similarly, to adjust finer, rotate
the hopper clockwise.

Grind Setting
Your final grind setting may be different but this is the
general starting point to help you get started:
Brew methods Recommended range
Pour-over and V60 1.8-2.0 revolution from zero
Espresso 0.8 revolution from zero
Nomenclature:
-‘Zero’ refers to the lock point (the finest setting you can
go –with the motor switched off).
-1 complete revolution/rotation of the grind adjustment
funnel on the Mini is equal to +10 (printed big dots)
Care & Maintenance
-To ensure best performance and longevity, do not
operate the grinder for more than 90 seconds in one cycle,
with a minimum of 90 seconds rest between two cycles.
-The grinder is designed for home use (i.e. not for
continuous commercial use). So it should not be used for
more than 6 minutes continuously within a 10 minute
duration. It must rest for at least 30 minutes if the total
grinding time exceeds 6 minutes.
-The Lagom Mini is designed to be essentially
maintenance-free and has very little retention –this
means that you don’t have to clean it as frequently as
required on a traditional electric grinder.
Cleaning Procedure
To clean the burrs chamber (every 6-12 months):
1. Power off the grinder.
2. Remove the lid.
3. Adjust the funnel towards the coarser direction until the
funnel disengages.
4. Remove the funnel and you will get access to the upper
burr carrier.
* Important: Watch out for the bearing (on upper burr carrier) and springs
in the grooves supporting the carrier -do not lose them.
5. Remove the upper burr carrier with hand gently.
6. You should now be able to access the burrs chamber
and clean the grinder with a brush or vacuum.
Note:
-When reinstalling the upper burr carrier, we STRONGLY
recommend to be extra careful to make sure that the burr is
going in perpendicularly (90 degree). Do not force the burr if it
feels stuck.
-There is no need to disassemble the burrs from their carriers
(both the bottom and upper burrs) for cleaning purpose.
Other useful tips that may be useful
-Burrs seasoning –for light roast espresso
Lagom Mini is ready for use right away upon unboxing.
However, when the coated burrs are new, there will be
more friction initially and so grinding hard beans will
require more torque than normal. If possible, we do not
recommend using the Lagom Mini for very light roast
espresso until the burrs have bedded in a little. You can
use light roast for filter-brewing out of the box. You can
also use medium-light roast on the Mini for espresso
without any special consideration.
-Finger Guard
A finger guard has been supplied with every Lagom Mini
for safe operation -particularly if there are curious little
ones in the house. However, it may be removed and the
grinder may also be operated without one for easier bean
loading (fully at your discretion depending on the risk of
your circumstances).
Other useful tips that may be useful
-Using the grind cup
When transferring coffee ground into your brewing
vessels (or baskets), sometimes a light tap at the bottom
of the grind cup (while the grind cup is inverted) can help
greatly to transfer all the ground quickly.
