GROUND COFFEE TIPS
• For a cup of rich, full flavored coffee use 1½ rounded tablespoons of ground coffee
for each 5½ oz cup of coffee.
• For optimum flavor it is best to grind the amount of coffee needed immediately
before brewing.
• Do not use the coffee grinder to grind spices or nuts; the coffee will share those
flavors.
• Blending 2 or more types of beans will result in a richer, more complex brew.
• It is important to clean the ground coffee bowl after each use; the residual oils from
the coffee will give an off flavor to the next batch of coffee ground.
USING THE MINI FOOD PROCESSOR
The mini processor is used to chop, mince, mix and puree foods to a smooth
consistency. Use the workbowl to chop fresh and cooked fruits and vegetables, fresh
herbs, cooked meats, fish and poultry; to make sauces, dressings and salsas; bread,
cookie and cracker crumbs.
