Grinding Coffee Beans
The Grinder will grind up to 55 grams of coffee beans at a time. This is
enough for approximately 12 cups of coffee.
Experimenting with the Grinder will enable you to get exactly the grind
you prefer for your coffee. A fi ne grind exposes more surface to the
water and therefore a more rapid rate of extraction of fl avour. A coarser
grind, which exposes little surface, is appropriate for the longer brewing
cycle of percolators. Check your coffee maker instructions for the type
of grind that is best.
For the freshest, most robust cup of coffee, grind only enough coffee
for the pot you are making. If you are making a large pot, you may need
to grind in two batches. Coffee beans will keep up to 2 months in the
freezer (in an airtight container) and can be ground while still frozen.
Fresh beans will yield the best fl avour and aroma.
Grinding Spices
Spices take on a fresh, more fl avourful taste when freshly ground.
Peppercorns, when freshly ground, taste totally different from canned
pre-ground pepper. Spices such as allspice, cardamom, celery seed,
mustard seed & coriander seed grind very well. Hard spices should be
in small manageable pieces. Pulse hard spices a few times to break
them up before grinding them to a powder. The maximum grinding
capacity for peppercorns, whole cloves, coriander seeds and fl axseed
are 3 tablespoons. Cinnamon sticks should be broken into thirds before
pulsing.
Grinding Herbs
Dried herbs can be combined and ground giving them a more intense
fl avour.
NOTE: Fresh herbs must be dehydrated and completely dried before
grinding. To purchase the Salton dehydrator visit our website at:

The Grinder will grind most dry or brittle substances. It WILL NOT grind
anything which is moist, gummy or extremely hard (chocolate, nuts, whole
nutmeg, candied ginger, etc.). It will not make paste from any kind of
seeds such as sunfl ower or sesame.
