How to use a coffee grinder:

There are so many different coffee grinders that to state here one
method would be incorrect. The basic method:

Beans are poured into the top hopper, not to the rim but ¼” from the
rim. The hopper is closed. The wheel grinder is operated by a turning
the handle. Turn this handle in a clockwise direction and the grounds
will fall into the bottom hopper. Much like a meat grinder.

To collect the grounds, untwist or unscrew the top hopper.
