GRINDING TIPS
1} The COARSE grind is generally used for percolators and coffee urns. MEDIUM
grind is used for drip coffee makers and steam-type espresso machines. A
FINE grind is used for espresso machines with an electric pump.
2) Your coffee grinder needs to cool after each 60 seconds of use. This cooling
period protects your ground coffee from becoming overheated before it is
brewed.
3) Vary the grinding times to suit your taste and type of beans you grind.
4) 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
container and can be ground while still frozen. Coffee grounds left In your
coffee grinder can become stale and affect the flavor of freshly ground
coffee. Be sure to clean grinding bowi r blades and cover after each use. (See
' Cleaning Your Coffee Grinder'’ section)
5) This grinder can be used to grind herbs and spices, such as peppercorns,
cardamom, celery seed, coriander and mustard, tt can also be used for
grinding nuts,
NOTE; If the unit is used for grinding something other than coffee (acceptable
examples mentioned above) please make sure that the grinder is cleaned
thoroughly after use. Please refer to the "Cleaning Your Coffee Grinder' 1
section of the instruction manual for detailed cleaning instructions.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to grind anything that is moist, gummy or very hard.
Do not try to grind chocolate nor attempt to make pastes from seeds such as
poppy, sesame or sunflower. Do not use grains including corns, rice or barley
as they may pit or damage the cover. Grinding cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves is
not advised, as their oils will stain the plastic cover.
