Love it - so here is the translation of the User Manual for the potential users
I don't need to add to the overwhelmingly positive reviews that already exist. This mill is fairly simple to use even without English instruction.
In case you're a potential user, but worries about the lack of English instruction, this translation will hopefully remove your concern.
Front Cover page: nothing critical.
Back cover page: Turn the nut at the bottom clockwise to make finer grind, counterclockwise for coarser.
Inside page #1: Top: Cautions
1. Turning the handle when there is nothing inside or turning it counterclockwise will damage the burrs. Don't do it.
2. Turning the nut/dial clockwise too far may damage the burrs.
3. Small piece of coffee bean can get stuck and prevent coffee from falling down. This may result in turning the handle without actually grinding any coffee bean. Tap the coffee mill occasionally to prevent this from happening.
4. Over time, the mill wears down. When the amount of coffee beans you can grind decreases significantly, it's time to buy a new one.
Bottom: Directions
1. Grind a small amount of coffee beans to see how much you need to turn the nut/dial to get the fineness you need.
2. put 1-2 cup worth of bean into the hopper: 1 cup = 10-12 g, 2 cupts = 20-24 g (see marks on the hopper). Don't over-load above the 2-cup mark.
3. Hold the mill firmly in one hand as you turn the handle slowly. Make sure the hopper cover is closed tightly.
Inside Page #2: Top: drawing that shows individual components, pretty self-explanatory.
Bottom: Care instruction
1. You can take apart the mill for cleaning
2. The nut/dial can be removed by turning counterclockwise.
3. After taking the nut off, you'll be able to take out the inner and outer parts of the mill/burrs
4. Oil from the coffee bean will get on the mill. Wash with soap.
5. Do not put the parts in dishwasher. Do not use bleach.
6. Do not lubricate the mill with oil
I hope you'll enjoy your new grinder as much as I do.
