With a total of 60 settings, this programmable grinder maximizes the potential of every coffee drink. Choose between 'Cups' for the French press or 'Shots' for espresso, depending on the beverage you want to brew. Grind directly into the portafilter or an airtight container. The Smart Grinder Pro grinds directly into the filter basket, an airtight container, basket filter, or paper filter. The choice is yours. A backlit LCD display shows the grind settings, duration, and the number of shots you have selected. Settings help your grinder achieve optimal results—regardless of how fine or coarse the beans need to be ground. Numerous settings are available—whether for espresso or French press, you have the choice. The precise digital timer allows you to adjust the grind strength and program the duration of the process in increments of up to 0.2 seconds. This gives you complete control and perfect dosing every time. The special stainless steel grinding mechanism minimizes heat during grinding to protect the oils in the coffee bean.
