How do I use the coffee grinder?
1 of 6: The coffee grinder is on the kitchen table. Start by going into a close-up of it. There are several "hot spots" on the coffee grinder, and they must be used in the proper order.
2 of 6: Thankfully, the order is exactly what you might expect to have to do. The first step is to put the item to be ground (the tooth or the claw) into the grinder.
3 of 6: To do that, click on the lid to open the grinder, select the item from inventory, click on the open lid to insert the object, and then close the lid.
4 of 6: To grind the object into powder, simply click on the handle of the coffee grinder, and watch the animation.
5 of 6: The powder is now in a small receptacle beneath the grinder.
6 of 6: Click once on the small drawer at the bottom of the grinder to open it. You should see a small amount of powder in the open drawer. Click on the powder to put it back into inventory. Note: Both the lid and the drawer cannot be open at the same time. To open one, you must first make sure that the other is closed. And the grinder will not grind unless both are closed.
