Tips

Grinding Coffee Beans

• Your coffee grinder will hold up to 36 g whole coffee beans at a time.

NOTE: Consult your coffee maker instructions for the recommended grind - then adjust to

your own taste.

• For the best cup of coffee, grind only enough coffee for the coffee maker. If you need

a large amount of coffee, you may need to grind coffee beans in several batches.

• Grind coffee beans for up to 20 seconds at a time. Continue grinding until desired

texture is reached.

FINE GRIND: Exposes more surface to the water and therefore a more rapid rate of

extraction of ﬂavour.

COARSER GRIND: Exposes less surface, this is for the longer brewing cycle of a

percolator.

IMPORTANT: Experimenting with the length of grind time will enable you to get exactly

the grind you prefer for your coffee.

Grinding Spices

Spices have more ﬂavour when freshly ground. It is recommended to grind only spice

seeds such as peppercorn, mustard seeds, coriander seeds etc. Follow the same

instructions as listed for grinding coffee beans.

IMPORTANT: We recommend you purchase a second grinder if you want to grind spices

as the spices will leave a strong smell and ﬂavour after grinding.

Not Recommended

Hard grains such as corn, wheat, rice, barley, and rye may damage the lid if ground.

NEVER GRIND anything which is moist, gummy or extremely hard: ice, chocolate,

nutmeg, candied ginger, etc.

NEVER make pastes of any kind from seeds such as sunﬂower or sesame in your coffee

grinder.

NEVER add oils or liquids while grinding.

NEVER chop, mince or puree soft foods in your coffee grinder.
