Hints for Grinding
Coffee Beans
Most beans require only 10-30 seconds to grind.
The maximum capacity of approximately 3/4 cup (2.0 ounces)
of coffee beans will yield approximately 10 tablespoons of
ground coffee for 12-14 cups of brewed coffee.
Store coffee beans in an airtight container inside the freezer for
up to two months—coffee beans can be ground while frozen.
Grinding Herbs,
Spices and Nuts
Use your grinder for grinding most herbs, spices, and nuts. They
will have more flavor when freshly ground. Follow directions for
grinding coffee beans and grind for 5-10 seconds. For large
pieces, pulse the grinder. You may want to consider purchasing a
separate grinder for herbs, spices and nuts since the flavor of the
coffee may be affected.
Hints for Grinding
Herbs, Spices and Nuts
Do not attempt to grind anything that is moist, oily, or extreme-
ly hard such as chocolate, cinnamon, whole cloves or nutmeg.
Do not use to puree soft foods or attempt to make pastes from
seeds, such as sesame or sunflower.
Do not attempt to grind grains such as corn, wheat, rice, rye, or
barley.
These items may all damage the grinder.
