InstaCuppa Store - FAQ by SchemaPlus

Question 1

Is this manual coffee grinder ceramic burr suitable for South Indian Filter Coffee?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. Set the dial to 8-12 clicks to achieve the perfect medium, sand-like texture required for traditional brass or steel filters. This ensures a thick, aromatic decoction without clogging the filter pores.

Question 2

Why is a ceramic burr better than a steel blade (mixie)?

Accepted Answer

Ceramic prevents heat buildup. Electric blade grinders spin fast and generate heat, which 'cooks' the coffee oils before brewing, leading to a bitter taste. Our ceramic burr crushes beans slowly and coolly, preserving the fresh aroma and natural sweetness of your roast.

Question 3

How long does it take to grind coffee manually?

Accepted Answer

Approximately 2-3 minutes for a full load. The grinder features an ergonomic stainless steel handle that makes grinding smooth and effortless—even before your first cup of coffee!

Question 4

Is it quiet enough to use in the morning without waking the family?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is whisper quiet. Unlike noisy electric grinders, this manual grinder makes a soft, rhythmic crunching sound. Perfect for early risers who want fresh coffee without disturbing sleeping family members or babies.

Question 5

How do I clean this grinder?

Accepted Answer

Easy disassembly and dry cleaning. The grinder comes apart easily for cleaning. Use a dry brush to remove coffee residue from the ceramic burr. The container can be wiped with a dry cloth. Ceramic doesn't rust or retain odours.

Question 6

Can I use this to grind spices (masala)?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend it. Strong spices like cloves or cardamom will leave oils in the ceramic burr that will permanently affect the taste of your future coffee. This grinder is designed specifically for coffee beans only.

Question 7

Is it travel-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes, very portable. Compact design fits easily in travel bags, laptop bags, or desk drawers. No electricity or batteries needed—grind fresh coffee anywhere, from office to vacation!

Question 8

What grind setting should I use for French Press?

Accepted Answer

Use settings 16-18. This produces a coarse, breadcrumb-like texture perfect for French Press, ensuring you don't get muddy sediment in your cup.

Question 9

Does it come with a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 1-Year InstaCuppa Warranty. This covers any manufacturing defects. We are a proudly Indian brand with local support teams ready to help via WhatsApp (+91-73309666937) or Email (support@instacuppastore.com).
