Hints for Best Results
• Fresh beans will yield the best avor and aroma.
• Keep coffee beans in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
NOTE: Coffee beans can be ground while frozen.
• A ne grind exposes more surface to the water and therefore a more rapid rate of
extraction of avor.
• A coarser grind, which exposes little surface, is appropriate for the longer brewing cycles.
Not Recommended

• This Handheld Burr Grinder WILL NOT GRIND anything which is moist, gummy or
extremely hard: ice, chocolate, whole nutmeg, candied ginger, etc.
• This Handheld Burr Grinder will NOT make pastes of any kind from seeds such as sunower
or sesame.
• Grinding cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg is not advised as the oils and hardness can cause

• Never add oils or liquids while grinding.
• Chopping, mincing or pureeing of soft foods is not recommended
