Is it possible to grind coffee beans without an electric coffee grinder?

It might happen that you have some whole coffee beans, but you does not own electric coffee grinder. The question is – can you grind them without buying one?

• The first option for you will be to try using a food processor. Be careful, because it might not work as well as specially designed coffee grinder.
• Another possibility will be to wrap beans in a piece of paper and crush them with something heavy (like stone or hammer). The quality of grinding will not be perfect if you don't have access to electric coffee grinder this could work. Crushing coffee this way will help ypu gain some muscle weight :)
• More finely ground could be achieved if a mortar and pistil are applied to your coffee after getting crushed in the paper.

Nothing will to it better than a good electric coffee grinder!

Prevent static electricity from keeping coffee inside your electric coffee grinder

I have a cheap electric coffee grinder. When it comes to taking the coffee out, coffee stays in, just like static electricity is holding it? Any way to solve the problem?

Here are a couple tips on the subject:

• wait for a few minutes after the grinding process is finished and then open the lid. Time allows the static electricity to dissipate
• another way is to moisten slightly a few beans before the grinding. Electricity builds up easier at the low humidity areas. Adding a small bit of water will reduce the charge.
