GRINDING TIPS GRINDING TIPS 1 2 3 4 Coarse ground coffee is generally used for percolators and coffee urns. 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 grinder can become stale and affect the flavor 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 flavor of coffee beans ground later. You may want to purchase a separate grinder if you plan to grind a lot of peppercorns. Medium ground coffee is used for drip coffee makers and steamtype espresso machines. Fine ground coffee is used for espresso machines with an electric pump. 11
