ARO Espresso™ Single Dose Hopper with Silicone Bellows and Anti-Popcorn Weight | Compatible with Breville/Sage Smart Grinder Pro

• Transform your espresso grinder with the ARO Espresso Single Dose Hopper. Engineered for compatibility with Breville/Sage Smart Gridner Pro, our single dose hopper eliminates coffee bean retention and stale grounds. Featuring a hopper crafted from solid aluminum, an integrated anti-popcorn baffle, and a robust silicone bellows, it ensures the freshest grind, every time. Say goodbye to old, stale grounds and savor the full flavor and aroma of freshly ground espresso.

Installation Instructions 1. Prepare Your Grinder: Remove the original hopper and clean out all old beans and grounds. We recommend using a vacuum cleaner to ensure the grinder inlet is completely free of debris. Note: Do not use water, as it can rust the grinder burrs. 2. Insert the Outer Burr Seal: Place the seal around the outer burr and ensure the "UP" side is visible. Align the triangular tab with the wire on the outer burr and press it in until flush with the grinder inlet. 3. Insert the Lock Ring: Remove the lock ring from the hopper, align the tabs with the slots in your grinder inlet, and drop the lock ring on top of the seal. Press down firmly to fully seat the lock ring so that the flexible arms are aligned with the holes in the side of the grinder inlet. 4. Attach the Hopper: Align the hopper tabs with the locking ring slots and place the hopper into the lock ring. Press down, and twist clockwise until the seam is at the 6 o'clock or 12 o'clock position and the grinder safety trigger engages. This may require some force as the O-ring creates a seal on the grinder inlet. To remove the hopper, simply twist it counterclockwise until it releases from the orange lock ring. Then remove the orange ring and seal. You may need to pull back the arms on the lock ring to release them. Setting your grind size to the finest setting will also assist with removing the hopper as it lowers the outer burr and relieves any pressure on the lock ring. Please send us a message if you need any assistance with installation or removal! Usage Instructions 1. Load the Beans: Weigh out your preferred dose and pour your beans into the hopper. Tip: the silicone bellows can be used for easy measurement and transfer of your beans! 2. Place the Anti-Popcorning Weight: Set the weight on top of the beans. 3. Set the Bellows: Place the silicone bellows on top of the hopper. 4. Grind: Press the grinder trigger to start grinding. 5. Purge the Grinder: Once grinding is complete, pump the silicone bellows to purge the grinder. This works best while the grinder is spinning; restart the grinder if needed or adjust the grind time to ensure all beans are ground and there is extra time to purge the grinder. Don't be afraid to give it some aggressive pumps and be sure to use the palm of your hand to compress the entire bellows. 6. Enjoy: Savor the aroma and taste of the freshest cup of espresso. Compatibility This Single Dose Hopper is compatible with the Breville/Sage Smart Grinder Pro. Please message us with your machine model if you have questions about compatibility. Care and Maintenance For daily maintenance, simply brush off any loose grounds and/or wipe clean with a cloth. When it's time for a more thorough cleaning, remove the bellows, hopper, weight, lock ring, and seal from your machine. These components may be hand washed with lukewarm water and soap. Be sure to rinse well, and dry immediately. Not dishwasher safe. Other Useful Info The single dose hopper can comfortably hold up to 60 grams of beans. If you need to grind more than this, simply reload the hopper or add more beans as they are being ground. If you have low cabinets, this hopper is the ideal solution. Without the bellows, it sits 1.75" (45mm) lower than the stock hopper making it possible to store the grinder under low cabinets. See the images for more details on total height with the single dose hopper and bellows installed. The lock ring is additively manufactured. Keep away from extreme heat.
