Rancilio Stile OD Espresso Grinder

Initial Setup

Place the Stile OD on a stable surface. Attach and adjust the portafilter rest to your portafilter's height. The adjustable fork handles standard 58mm portafilters.

Grind Adjustment

Adjust grind size using the stepless micrometric collar at the top of the grinder. Turn clockwise for finer, counterclockwise for coarser. Use the reference notches as guideposts, or position the collar between notches for micro-adjustments.

Setting Up the Touchscreen

The Stile OD features a touchscreen interface on the front panel. From the touchscreen, program two dose presets (typically single and double shot). Each preset stores a timed grind duration — navigate to the programming menu to set each.

Grinding

Select your preset on the touchscreen or use the portafilter button for manual activation. Place your portafilter in the rest and tap your chosen dose button. The grinder will run your timed dose and stop automatically.

Adjusting Dose Times

Grind a dose into a container on your scale, note the actual weight, and adjust the timed preset up or down to hit your target dose weight.

OD vs. SD: Key Difference

The Stile OD adds a touchscreen with two programmable timed dose presets for a fully hands-off workflow — activate your single or double preset and step away. The SD uses only the portafilter button with a single timed mode.

Programming Your Two Presets

Set Preset 1 for single shot (typically 7–8g) and Preset 2 for double (14–18g). Weigh your output and fine-tune the time in the programming menu until both presets hit your target doses consistently.

Workflow Optimization

The OD's two presets are ideal for baristas alternating between single and double shots. Switch between them with one tap — no need to re-time or manually dose.

Daily

Brush out the dosing chute and portafilter rest area after each session. Wipe the touchscreen and exterior with a dry cloth — avoid moisture on the screen.

Weekly Burr Cleaning

Clear the burr chamber with the cleaning brush. Use Grindz or an equivalent grinder cleaner for a more thorough weekly purge.

Hopper Cleaning

Remove and hand wash the 300g hopper with warm water and mild soap. Dry completely before reattaching.

Touchscreen Not Responding

Clean the screen surface with a dry soft cloth — moisture or grease can interfere with touch sensitivity. Restart the grinder if the screen remains unresponsive.

Preset Dose Weight Drifting

Re-weigh your output and update the timed preset. Dose weight can drift as beans change or burrs wear — a quick recalibration of the time setting restores consistency.

Grinder Not Stopping at Preset End

Check that the preset time is correctly saved. If the grinder runs continuously, the timed dose mode may have been accidentally switched to manual. Return to programming menu to re-enable timed dosing.
