I have searched the forum and the net generally and can only find a couple of references to my query, hoping for some more detailed comments here maybe from some M4 owners/sellers having had or heard of similar experience, thanks.
After picking up an M4 Stepless last week I proceeded to unpack/read instructions/set up.
The instructions seemed very brief and basic essentially saying grind some beans and adjust the grind and do it with the motor running!
When I first powered it up and switched it on nothing happened after looking around for some other switches I went back to the instructions ....mmm no help there!
After some head scratching I adjusted the grind setting coarser and the motor activated. Although I had beans in the hopper they werent being ground so I kept dialling a coarser grind until they were.
From here I continued to adjust the grind according to the results from a few shots and on one occasion took the grind so fine that the noise of the grinder changed and the beans were not grinding (quickly backed off!).
I have since read that Macap ship their grinders set to the finest grind which amounts to the burr blades touching I guess. I would have thought it would be worth mentioning that in the manual!
Question: could this process have damaged anything?
