Can you use a blender to grind coffee beans? This is a question that worries many coffee lovers.
And the answer to it, no matter how much one would like to believe otherwise, is negative – no, it is not recommended to do this.
The point is that the purpose of a blender is to mix products, not to grind them.
If you ignore this fact and still try to throw coffee beans into the blender jar, be prepared for the fact that the grind will be uneven.
The resulting particles will be of different sizes. Once in the cup, large pieces will release their flavor more slowly, while small pieces will release their flavor more quickly.
No matter how you look at it, you won’t be able to get a high-quality and tasty drink from such coffee.
Moreover, the blender may not be able to cope with the hard structure of coffee beans and the equipment will fail.
The recommendation is obvious: if you want to grind coffee beans at home, use special equipment for this purpose, such as a coffee grinder.
