Introduction to the Ceramic Burr Manual Coffee Grinder
Did you know that approximately 1,000 different colatile avors and aromatics con-
centrated inside a coffee bean are exposed by grinding? Coffee begins to lose about
40% of its aroma and essential oils within 15 minutes of grinding, which means that
grinding your beans right before you brew will give you the best chance of getting the
most avor into your cuppa!
Brewing quality coffee is an art, and you now own a powerful tool that will help you to
unleash the full potential of your quality coffee beans.
Please read and follow the following instructions carefully in order to get the best use
out of your new tool. And be sure to read through to the end, as we’ve included some
avorful coffee recipes to help you get started.

Safety Overview
1. Be extra careful when handling ceramic blades as they can easily break or get
damaged.
2. If you feel that you are grinding something harder than a coffee bean, do not
force the handle. This will damage the ceramic burr.
3. Never turn the handle unless coffee is loaded inside the grinder as you can dam-
age the ceramic burr.
4. Keep out of reach of children while in use.
5. Do not put in the dishwasher.

Grinding Your Coffee Beans to Make
The Perfect Cup of Coffee
Important: If this is your rst time using your new grinder, or it has not been used in
a very long time, we do suggest wiping it down with a dry cloth and brush (included
in your package) to remove any residue, especially out of the ceramic burr.
1. Always make sure to use fresh coffee beans and ensure the beans are dry and
free of foreign substances when placing in the grinder.
2. Remove the lid and handle from hopper and add a small amount of beans (be-
tween 5-10 should be perfect!).
3. Do a test grind to check the current grind setting. Adjust clockwise to make the
grounds ner, or counter-clockwise to make the grounds coarser (this is shown in
the next gure).
4. Once the desired grind setting is achieved, add 10 to 12 g of your favorite whole
bean coffee into the hopper. This is usually good to make one cup (120ml) of
coffee.
5. Grip the grinder rmly at the midpoint and turn the handle smoothly in a clock-
wise direction to begin grinding the beans. Warning: Signicant damage can oc-
cur to your burr grinder by turning the handle counter-clockwise.
6. Once you are nished grinding, remove the container and pour the freshly
ground coffee into your brewing vessel of choice. We highly recommend the Cu-
linary Prestige French Coffee Press for superior brewing.
7. You are now ready to brew your freshest pot of coffee yet! Enjoy!

Tip: Adjusting the Coarseness of Coffee Grounds
1. The Culinary Prestige Ceramic Burr Manual Coffee Grinder has a built-in adjust-
able grind selector with over 18 click settings to ensure 100% precision control over
the coarseness of your freshly ground coffee.
2. Turn the grind selector knob clockwise to make coffee grounds ner, and coun-
ter-clockwise to make coffee grounds coarser as show in the gure below.
Disassembling and Cleaning Up
1. When washing your coffee grinder, rst disassemble all the parts including the
container, lid, knob, ceramic burr, all rings, spring and screw bar.
2. Hand soak all pieces and wash in warm, soapy water. Use a soft cleaning brush
or sponge. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
3. Make sure all parts are thoroughly dried before reassembling and using further.

Chapter 4:
How to Make the Perfect Cup of Coffee
While the Culinary Prestige French Press does all of the work, there is a lot that you
can do to ensure that you get the perfect cup of coffee every time you brew a batch
in your new Culinary Prestige French Press. From picking the right beans to making
sure that the temperature in the carafe is appropriate, there are a lot of factors that
go into brewing the best cup of coffee possible.
Selecting the Right Beans
Now it’s time to learn how to select the best beans for the ideal cup of coffee. The two
commercial bean types available are Robusta and Arabica. Robusta coffee is grown
at lower altitudes, is stronger and has more of a bitter taste. Arabica coffee is culti-
vated in higher altitudes and has more of an acidic, smooth avor. Arabica coffee is
considered the better coffee, but this comes down to a personal preference and has
to do with how the specic beans are grown and processed. It’s best to pick out what
you like and, if you can, research the roaster and make sure their process is the best

possible one with no shortcuts taken. For more information on how coffee is grown
and harvested, please refer to BONUS SECTION #1 at the end of this guide.
How to Avoid Mycotoxins in Your Coffee
A problem that has been seen with some coffee is the presence of mycotoxins. These
are a form of fungus that can be found on dried coffee beans. If these moldy beans
aren’t removed during harvesting and processing, the toxins will become incorpo-
rated into the roasting and grinding process. When this happens, those harmful my-
cotoxins can end up in your morning cup of coffee!
Mycotoxins can cause health problems and can even cause kidney or liver disease as
well as diseases in your smooth muscles and the alimentary canal. Luckily, you can
learn how to avoid these mycotoxins in your coffee.
First, choose beans that have gone through wet processing instead of dry process-
ing. Beans that go through wet processing are less likely to have mycotoxins on them.
Also, stay away from decaffeinated coffee as the caffeine in the beans can protect
the beans from growing harmful mold. Research also shows that Arabica beans have
less incidences of mycotoxins than Robusta beans do, so you’d be better off choosing
Arabica coffee over Robusta varieties for this reason.
You can also avoid mycotoxins by choosing beans that are grown at a higher eleva-
tion since mold is less likely to form at those altitudes. Look for beans grown and har-
vested in mountainous regions. You should also pay attention to the beans you buy.
If you follow the suggestion of grinding your own beans every time you brew coffee,
you should take the time and inspect the beans. If you notice any mold on the beans
or if they seem damaged in a way, throw them out to avoid any unwanted side ef-
fects.
You may already know what you like in terms of coffee, but if you aren’t sure what to
look for or what the differences are, here is a quick guideline about how to determine
what coffee suits your taste: light colored beans offer more of a smoother avor with
acidic undertones. Darker beans, which are roasted longer, have more of a bitter
and bold avor. Dark roasts actually have less caffeine however, so if you’re looking
for a higher caffeine content, then look for medium or light roast coffees.

Grind Coffee Beans with a Burr Grinder
Did you know that coffee begins to lose about 40% of its aroma and essential oils
within 15 minutes of grinding? Approximately 1000 different volatile avours and
aromatics concentrated inside a coffee bean are exposed by grinding and begin to
oxidize as soon as the seal is broken! Grinding just before brewing gives you the
best chance of getting most of those avors into your cup!
Once you gure out what bean is best for you, it’s time to grind it up at home and
get ready to brew it. Since ground coffee can go stale quickly, it is considered best
to grind your coffee in individual batches when you’re ready to brew a cup. This is
because once the coffee is ground up, its avor can begin to degrade if not stored
properly. Oxidation is what leads to the staling of coffee. This is when oxygen mole-
cules that are in the air come into contact with the chemical compounds of the coffee
and cause them to deteriorate. This will affect both the avor and the aroma of your
coffee. This is why it’s best to keep coffee beans and coffee grounds in an air-tight
container. For this reason, we highly recommend the Culinary Prestige Air Tight Cof-
fee Canister (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N54TSHA)
Grinding coffee at home can lead to better cups of coffee. You can grind your own
coffee beans with blade grinders, but it’s best done with a burr grinder. We highly rec-

ommend the Culinary Prestige Manual Ceramic Burr Coffee Grinder ( www.amazon.
com/dp/B01M7UYHPW ) Blade grinders are the typical ones you see in stores that
are most like blenders. They have spinning blades at the base that cut into the coffee
beans indiscriminately. This always results in an inconsistent grind. That is problemat-
ic for making the best cup of coffee since different grind consistencies don’t brew the
same way, even in drip machines. Think of it like you would sugar; When you dissolve
sugar in a solution, individual sugar granules dissolve faster than a larger chunk of
sugar. The same is true of coffee; the ner grounds will infuse the coffee faster than
the coarser grounds. This difference in extraction rates can result in an inconsistent
avor that can cause your cup of coffee to taste too bitter. The ner grounds will end
up over-extracting and the coarser coffee grounds will only partially-extract. This dis-
crepancy makes for a nasty tasting cup of coffee and should always be avoided. This
is why it’s best to stay away from blade grinders.
Burr grinders have two sets of burrs inside that are seated opposite one another
so that the beans get cut evenly from either side and are therefore able to produce
grounds that are almost uniform in size. It uses sharp elements that chop up the bean
in a more consistent fashion that results in a reliable grind. Think of a burr grinder
in the same way as a precision chef who cuts all of their ingredients to be the same
size for even cooking times. The consistent grind that burr grinders create will lead to
a better tasting cup of french press coffee.
Look at the materials used, too. The right burr grinder can last you over ve years
when properly cared for, even if you’re grinding coffee constantly. Look at a burr
grinder as an investment that will keep you happy for years to come.
