I have a $375 Marcuzzi grinder that I just bought and I think the manual was accidently thrown away. I can not find the manufacturer's website. Can someone please help.
It looks to be part of another company's site, called If You Love Coffee. It may or may not be their official site, but it's the only one I've really seen with Marcuzzi products. Many or most of them are rebadged or modified and then rebadged from what I've seen. I own a Marcuzzi espresso machine that is basically an upgraded Expobar for example.

If there's a label on it anywhere, you might try posting that info here or emailing/calling the Marcuzzi vendor and asking them if they have an instruction manual to give you. If it's a rebadged grinder, chances are there could be a manual for the other branded versions of it out there, but in order to help figure that out you'd want to post as much information you can find on the labels or maybe a picture of it if possible. Maybe someone else would have other suggestions, but that might be the way to try and figure out which model it is to begin with.

Is there anything special I should know on how to work the grinder? I see numbers on the botton of the canister thing that the coffee beans go in. Are there different consistencies that the beans can be grinded? Or can I just press the 'on' button?

There will be different settings (possibly on a dial that you turn to adjust) depending on whether you're grinding for espresso, drip coffee, French press, etc. and usually the settings willl be numbered on the grinder from low (finest) to high (coarse). I'm just guessing based on other grinders I've used.
Espresso will usually use some of the finer settings and drip/press will be more coarse. You can adjust the setting to get the best taste which can be a bit of a trial and error sort of thing. For espresso, you want to adjust the setting so that there's enough resistance to give you a 1.5 to 2 ounce double shot somewhere in the 20-30 second range while keeping your tamp pressure consistent. That's just a guideline, but espresso takes a lot of practice to get it right.
With drip coffee you don't want too fine of a grind otherwise the water will have a hard time flowing through it and you might end up with an overflow mess. What I did at first was take some commercially available pre-ground coffee and try to duplicate the coarseness of those grounds with my grinder. That at least gave me a starting point. Press coffee grounds are usually ground a bit more coarse than for drip. Hope this helps.
No problem...hopefully you can get it to work well to make some great coffee. It can take some getting used to with all the settings, but after using it a few times you should start getting the hang of it. If not, just post back here and someone should be willing to help.
My guess is that you've gotten a re-badged Anfim Haus. Go here and see if that is your grinder, and if it is, simply click on the 'contact' link and ask them.
