Coffee Beans

The Grinder will grind up to 50 grams (1.8 oz) of coffee beans at a time. This is enough for approximately 10 cups of coffee.

Experimenting with the Grinder will enable you to get exactly the grind you prefer for your coffee. A fine grind exposes more surface to the water and therefore a more rapid rate of extraction of flavour. 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 robut 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 flavour and aroma.

Spices

Herbs and spices take on a fresh, more flavourfull taste when freshly ground. Dried herbs can be combined and ground for a few seconds giving them more flavour. 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.

Not Recommended

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 pastes of any kind from seeds such as sunflower or sesame.

Grinding cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg is not advised as the oils and hardness can cause the plastic lid to pitt, discolor or crack. Grains such as corn, wheat, rice barley and rye may also cause damage to the Lid. Chopping, mincing or pureeing of soft foods is not recommended.
