Coarse ground
coffee is generally
used for perco-
lators and coffee
urns.
Medium ground
coffee is used for
drip coffee mak-
ers and steam-
type espresso
machines.
Fine ground
coffee is used
for espresso
machines with an
electric pump.
For the freshest,
most flavorful
coffee, grind
only enough for
the pot you are
making. Coffee
beans keep up
to 2 months in
the freezer in an
airtight contain-
er and can be
ground while still
frozen. Coffee
grounds left in
your grinder can
become stale and
affect the flavor
of freshly ground
coffee. Be sure to
clean grinding
chamber, blades
and grinding
wheel after each
use.
This grinder can
only grind dry,
brittle foods. It
will not grind
anything moist,
extremely hard
or gummy,
such as whole
ginger, chocolate,
sesame seeds or
oily spices such as
cinnamon, cloves
or nutmeg. Do
not grind peanuts
or grains such
as wheat, rice,
barley, or dried
corn. Attempting
to grind any of
these foods may
damage the unit.
Never use it to
chop ice cubes.
Freshly ground
peppercorns
have a strong
aroma and taste
that may affect
the flavor of
coffee beans
ground later.
You may want
to purchase a
separate grinder
if you plan to
grind a lot of
peppercorns.
