GRINDER OVERVIEW
Your Dose Control™ Pro uses hardened
stainless steel Conical Burrs and can grind
whole bean coffee suitable for a range of
brewing methods, from the finest setting
for Espresso to the coarsest setting for
Plunger.
The grind amount (dose) for all coffee types is
controlled by an electronic timer. The dose for
each brew method can be adjusted by rotating
the GRIND TIME dial and changing the time
the grinder will run. You can grind directly
into a Portafilter, Container or Drip Coffee
filter basket.
Within each brew method, Espresso, Percolator,
Drip or Plunger, there is a range of grind
size settings; the grind settings will differ
between each brew method. This is because
each method requires different grind sizes for
optimum extraction. Experiment with different
grind size settings until you achieve the brew
that best suits your taste.
Rotating the Bean Hopper will turn the Grind
Size Collar to adjust grind size.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove and safely discard all promotional
labels and packing materials attached to your
Breville product. Wash hopper, and cradles in
warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe
exterior of grinder with a soft damp cloth and
dry thoroughly. Place grinder on flat level
surface and plug power cord into 220-240V
outlet and switch Power 'ON'.
ASSEMBLING YOUR BREVILLE

Bean Hopper
Align tabs on the base of the bean hopper
and insert hopper into position. Holding the
hopper, press down firmly and turn the bean
hopper dial 45° to lock into position.
A "click" sound will be heard when the hopper
is properly locked in place.
X
Ensure the hopper and the Grind Size
Collar is aligned properly.
Fill with fresh coffee beans and secure lid on
top of bean hopper.
NOTE
If the bean hopper has not been locked
into position, the GRIND TIME dial will
not be illuminated. This is to disable
grinder operation for safety reasons.

Step 2:
Selecting Grind Amount
Select the desired amount of ground coffee
required by turning the GRIND TIME dial.
Refer to the Coffee Chart on page 14 as a
starting point to adjust your grind time. This
will vary depending on the individual size of
your filter basket and coffee bean types. Rotate
the GRIND TIME dial to adjust the grind time
until the correct dose is achieved. Increasing
the time will increase the dose and decreasing
the time will decrease the dose.
Step 3:
Tamping the Ground Coffee
After dosing the portafilter with freshly ground
coffee, tamp down with between 15-20kg of
pressure. The amount of pressure is not as
important as consistent pressure every time.
Step 4:
12
Trimming the Dose
The adjustable Razor™ Dose Trimming Tool
allows you to trim the puck to the right level
for a consistent extraction.
Select the correct width blade of the Razor™ to
match the diameter of your filter basket. The
Razor™ has three blades of varying widths:
58mm, 54mm and 50mm. The 58mm and
54mm are already fitted within the Razor™
body. The 50mm is separate.
If you require the 50mm blade, turn the
adjustment dial past #1 until the 54mm blade
is fully extended and able to be pulled from
the body.
ADDITIONAL BLADE

NOTE
The Adjustable Dial may feel tight as
you continue to wind it towards the end
of its travel.
Insert the 50mm blade into the body. Wind
the Adjustable Dial until the blade is retracted
past #4. Press the 50mm and 58mm blades at
the same time, towards the centre of the body
until a “click” sound can be heard.

'CLICK'
Adjust the Razor™ to the setting in the table
below for your Breville espresso machine. This
is a starting point for your dose height.

After tamping the coffee, insert the Razor™
into the filter basket until it rests on the rim of
the basket. The blade of the dosing tool should
penetrate the surface of the tamped coffee.
If the blade does not penetrate the surface
of the tamped coffee, your coffee is under
dosed. Increase the amount of dosed coffee by
adjusting the GRIND TIME dial.
Rotate the Razor™ back and forth while holding
the portafilter on an angle over the knock box
to trim off a little excess coffee.
OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT
13
OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT
Refer to the Coffee Chart on page 14 for
approximate grind size guide.
You will need to extract a shot of espresso
to determine if a change in grind size
and/or grind amount is necessary to achieve
the correct rate of flow. Traditionally, a
single shot of espresso is defined as ~ 30mls
in 30 seconds and a double shot of espresso
as ~ 60mls in 30 seconds.
NOTE
If the Grind Size Collar is tight,
run the grinder by pressing the
START|CANCEL button while turning
the Hopper. This will release coffee
grounds caught between the burrs.
GRINDING INTO A GRINDS
CONTAINER OR COFFEE FILTER
Step 1:
Remove cradle by sliding out from under the
grind outlet.
PULL
Place your container or coffee filter directly
under grind outlet.
Your filter basket is now dosed with the correct
amount of coffee for your Breville espresso
machine.
If using the Razor™ with a non Breville
espresso machine, you will need to adjust the
depth of the trimmed coffee by trial and error
until you achieve approximately a 1mm gap
between the group head dispersion screen and
the surface of the trimmed coffee. Start with a
dose that is too high, i.e. the dispersion screen
leaves an imprint on the surface of the trimmed
coffee when inserted and removed from the
group head WITHOUT extracting. Adjust
the height of the dose in small steps until you
achieve this clearance. You will then have the
correct dose height for your espresso machine.
Adjust grind size only until you get the right
rate of espresso flow, while keeping the Razor™
dose height and tamp pressure consistent.
Step 5:
Select Your Grind Size
For espresso, we recommend starting with
grind size setting 15 and rotating the Hopper
(to adjust the Grind Size Collar) either
coarser or finer until your preferred flavour
profile is achieved. This should be done in
conjunction with setting the grind amount
(dose).

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT
Step 2:
Select the required amount of ground coffee by
rotating the GRIND TIME dial.
Refer to Coffee Chart on page 14 for
approximate grind amount guide for various
brew methods.
Step 3:
Select Your Grind Size
Rotate the Hopper to adjust the Grind Size
Collar until it reaches the required brewing
method range. Within each brew method,
Percolator, Filter or Plunger, there is a range of
grind size settings. We recommend you start in
the centre of each range, then experiment with
grind size within each range until you get the
flavour balance that suits you.

COFFEE MAKING TIPS
MAKING BETTER QUALITY COFFEE
• Freshly ground coffee is the key to making
coffee with more flavour and body.
• Coffee flavour and strength is a personal
preference. Vary the type of coffee beans,
amount of coffee and grind size to achieve
the flavour you prefer.
• Use freshly roasted coffee beans with a
‘roasted on’ date to maximise flavour, not
a use-by or best before date.
• Use coffee beans between 5 and 20 days
after the ‘roasted on’ date for optimal
freshness.
• Store coffee beans in a dark, cool and
dry place. Vacuum seal if possible.
• Buy in small batches to reduce the
storage time.
• Once coffee is ground, it quickly loses its
flavour and aroma. For the best results,
grind beans immediately before brewing.
• Do not store beans in the bean hopper.
Place them back in an airtight container.
• When storing the appliance, run grinder
empty to clear ground beans left in
chamber.
• Run grinder for 2 seconds to purge some
coffee before each use, for maximum
freshness.
• Clean the bean hopper and conical burrs
regularly.
FRENCH PRESS/PLUNGER
Follow these easy steps for a great cup:
1. Using a variable temperature kettle, heat
the appropriate volume of water to 93°C.
This is an ideal temperature for brewing
coffee. Do not use boiling water.
2. Select grind size setting 50.
3. Select the Grind Amount for the number of
cups you are brewing. Refer to Coffee Chart
on page 14.
4. Place the ground coffee in the plunger
vessel.
5. Pour the heated water into the plunger in
a swirling manner to ensure all the ground
coffee is soaked and the plunger vessel is
full. The ‘bloom’ (expanding coffee and
gases) should reach the top of the plunger.
6. Using a timer, wait 4 minutes.
7. Using a spoon, break the ‘crust’ (the bloom
becomes dense and a bit hard).
8. Insert the plunger and carefully press
down.
9. Do not press too hard. Gently release
pressure by pulling up slightly and press
down again if you have pressed too hard.
