 How to use a blender to grind coffee

You can enjoy the rich taste and delicious aroma of freshly ground coffee beans without spending extra money on a coffee grinder simply by using your blender. Grinding your own coffee results in a fresher and tastier coffee because the beans hold flavor longer than ground coffee.

Step 1 - Set up your blender

Place your blender on a flat surface on the counter and plug it in. The flat surface is really important so that the vibrations from the blender don't cause other things to fall off the counter.

Step 2: decide how finely you will need to grind the beans

Different types of coffee makers require different beans. Medium ground beans work best for a drip machine. This means that when you pour the coffee grounds into your hand, some will stick, while most will fall off. Espresso machines tend to work best with a medium-fine grind. In this case, the majority will stick together, but the individual motifs can be easily seen. French Press Makers require a coarser texture so the grinds don't stick at all.

Step 3: pour the coffee beans into the blender and grind them

Start with a small amount of beans in the blender until you can calculate exactly how much coffee grounds your beans will yield. As you get more experience, you can better determine the correct amount of coffee beans to put in your blender, but generally a handful of beans should yield a tablespoon or two of ground coffee. As an alternative to your large blender body, you may consider screwing a Mason jar to your blender's grinding attachment. This can help you grind a better quality coffee. If you decide to try grinding your coffee beans in a Mason jar, simply place your coffee beans in the Mason jar, attach it to the blade attachment, and then screw the blade attachment into the base of the blender as usual. Some people swear that this is an easier process that is more effective for grinding beans and spices.Using either method, make sure the top of the blender is firmly on so you don't have a coffee bean blast all over your kitchen. Start with the blender on the pulse setting so your beans don't burn. If you don't have a pulse setting, turn it off every ten seconds to allow the beans to cool. No, for no reason, put your hand in the blender while it is in use. Start with the blender on the pulse setting so your beans don't burn.

Step 4 - Clean your blender

Rotate the blade attachment from the blender body. Rinse the blender in the sink. Most blender bodies are also dishwasher safe. Wash the blade attachment and the top of the blender by hand. Pay special attention when washing the blade attachment so that it does not get cut.

Step 5 - Make your coffee

Pour the ground coffee into the filter of your coffee maker. Follow your normal procedure for making coffee and enjoy.
