[0036] S1, power on;

[0037] S2. Select the grinding weight. Select the grinding weight through the control panel 4. For example, if the final coffee powder weight is 100g and the error weight is 100g±5g, the warning weight will be automatically set to 90g.

[0038] S3, peeling, removing the weight of the powder cup 8 and the support 7, at this time the touch screen of the control panel 4 shows the weight as 0g;

[0039] S4, the motor 102 rotates, driving the blade 103 to rotate to grind the coffee beans, and the ground coffee powder passes through the powder discharging assembly 2 and falls into the powder receiving cup 8;

[0040] S5, dynamic weighing, when the coffee powder falls, the weight sensor 6 will perform dynamic weighing on the coffee powder;

[0041] S6: Whether the warning value is reached.
