its kinda late where I live and I want to make some coffee before work but I dont want to wake up my cousin who is sleeping right next to the kitchen on the couch.

So do they make alot fo noise or are they quiet, if not, any other ideals of what I can do. I dont have money for coffee at the gas station… [gotta spend it on gas ]

thanks

Ive encountered this as well when I have had a guest sleeping on the couch. Yes, they can be a bit loud but there is nothing like a cup of fresh ground coffee in the morning. One great solution I found was to either A. add your beans and take it to your room for the less than 10 secs it takes to grind a few cups worth of beans or B. wet a decent size dishtowel, wring out the excess, and wrap it around the grinder to dampen the noise to a much quieter level. Hope this helps!

I was wondering will it be a good idea to use coffee grinders available in US to make small quantity of chutneys. I have heard many people vouch for it. Any inputs. If so which is the best one. Thanks in advance.
I meant mainly making cocunut chutneys like south indians.can it be done. i dont need to make much. also i tried blenders and processors .didnt like the result.

For dry or sukhi chutneys, they work fine but they are small.
Better to use a mini food processor or a blender.

Coffee grinders work great for grinding whole spices into powders.

I want to make a Greek semolina cake that uses ground walnuts. I don’t have a food processor but I do have a good coffee grinder with different settings. (I tried using my blender but it didn’t work well.) I don’t want to break the grinder. Will my coffee taste like walnuts for months afterwards?

You can chop most anything in the coffee grinder if it is dry enough. Yes, you can chop your nuts in the coffee grinder if you want. I would suggest that you run some dry bread through the grinder to clean out the residue of the coffee beans first and then afterward.

I have an old tiny hand grinder that clamps to the cabinet that I run nuts through for things like that. Find these at 2nd hand stores, antiques stores, and some kitchen shoppes. I know they can be found at the Amish Connection stores.

what i mean is can i use a blender or something else? i have a bag of whole coffee beans and they are expensive ones so i want to use them….i will eventually purchase a coffee grinder but I want some coffee NOW..lol.

depends how you intend to brew the coffee….if using a cafetiere/french press then you need a course grind.

Using a blender will give a crap inconsistent blend that will give you a poor coffee as there will be big chunks left, along with various levels of grind including fine powder.

If they really are expensive beans – get a decent grinder as your just going to ruin them using a blender.
