Can you grind coffee beans from home at the grocery store for free without getting in trouble?

I don’t have a burr grinder yet, but I really would like uniform grinding.

Where are you buying whole coffee beans? Wherever you buy the beans, you should be able to grind them there too.

Use your blade grinder for the beans you have now. Find a coffee friend with a burr grinder and share some of your bean for "renting" the grinder. Check Craigslist for used burr grinders.

I see lots of issues with taking food back into a store that has been opened in someones house. I suspect there are health and safety codes that govern this type of activity. How does the store know you didn’t steal their coffee? How often do you plan on doing this?

Burr grinders are not too expensive. By the time you calculate your travel time to/from the store, the hassle you will get at each store you visit (you will have to change stores often because you will be banned from some stores), the possibility of jail time if the store manager reports you, the cost of a burr grinder is pretty cheap.

every time i grind mine in the coffee grinder a strong unpleasing odor comes out of it.

is that normal?

i am new in this sort of thing, and i want to benefit from eating flax seeds, but i have no idea if what i am doing is right or wrong

Omega 3 oils can go rancid quickly. Grinding the seeds before you use them as you’ve been doing is a good idea thats what I do too. The whole seeds help protect the oils to some extent, however even whole, unground flax seeds still have a limited shelf life. Try buying some fresh seeds from a different retailer and see if they smell the same or not. I’ve never noticed an unpleasant smell from flax seeds that I ground myself.

whats the difference between a coffee grinder and a coffee maker?

Oh, and where can i buy a grinder? Cvs, rite aid, and big y doesnt sell them..

A good coffee grinder grinds coffee to the right consistency to allow your coffee maker to brew the grounds into a Good tasting cup of coffee.
With that said, a whirly blade ‘grinder’ is not a coffee grinder, it only beats thing to a pulp. Best used to make cinnamon sticks into cinnamon powder.
If you want a GOOD coffee grinder look to BARATZA. You can order them from several on-line sources and the extra expense of the initial purchase is well worth it.
