Grinding Tips
•
The coarse ground coffee is generally used for percolators and coffee urns. Medium
ground coffee is used for drip coffee makers and steam-type espresso machines. A
fine ground coffee is used for espresso machines with an electric pump.
•
For the freshest, most flavourful 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 grinder can
become stale and affect the flavour 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
flavour of coffee beans ground afterward. You may want to purchase a separate
grinder if you plan to grind peppercorns.
