If you received a bag of coffee beans as a gift from your friends but you do not have a grinder as you always buy grounded coffee. What should you use to grind it?
Here is my 4 ways that utilize tools which you might easily find in your kitchen
Yes, blender seem to work fine. However, We have to control it well. Tip is having a quick burst, then stop and repeat until you see the desired coffee grind size.
Alternative. Place a handful of the beans . Enough to make your coffee into a ziplock bag . Take your rolling pin , or a wine bottle and roll until your desired consistency.
Honestly, I’d bite the bullet and get a basic electric coffee/spice grinder. If you want to go back to ground coffee after you use up the whole beans, you can repurpose the grinder for spices alone after giving it a good clean.
My secret is . I have only bought whole beans . Pre ground coffee to me me though effective is not the same .
I use the kyocera hand burr grinder . Around twenty bucks . I would use the rolling pin or wine bottle if that’s what it came to . I use my Bialetti 6 cup for brewing.
