Your Guide to Using the OXO Conical Burr Coffee Grinder 

Grind size plays a pivotal role in determining the flavor extraction and strength of your coffee. The principle is simple: the finer the grind, the quicker the water can penetrate the coffee grounds, extracting flavors efficiently. Conversely, coarser grinds necessitate a slower extraction process, ideal for methods like pour-over or French press brewing, where flavors develop over time. To achieve optimal results, it's crucial to match the grind size to your brewing method. For instance, espresso demands a fine grind akin to table salt, while French press calls for a coarser grind resembling Kosher salt. Automatic drip machines typically fall somewhere in between.

Now, let's jump into the step-by-step process of using the OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder to ensure precision and consistency in your coffee brewing experience:

1. Prepare Your Beans: Begin by removing the lid from the hopper and filling it with your favorite whole, roasted coffee beans. Once filled, replace the lid securely.

2. Adjust Grind Size: Hold the hopper and rotate it slowly to adjust the grind size setting according to your brewing method. For fine espresso, aim for settings between 1-5; for medium grinds suitable for pour-over or drip coffee, opt for settings between 6-10; for coarser grinds ideal for French press or cold brew, select settings between 11-15.
