HOW TO GRIND COFFEE BEANS IN A VITAMIX OR OTHER POWER BLENDER
Can you use a blender to grind coffee beans?
ABSOLUTELY! If you have the right blender.
Grinding coffee beans can not only be enjoyable, but a relatively simple affair with a Vitamix, Blendtec, Nutribullet, Ninja or other power blender capable of blending dry goods.
There’s no need to have or purchase a specific coffee grinder, yet ANOTHER appliance to clutter up the kitchen!
You control the consistency, so make it for your preferred brewing method to get the best flavor possible!
Whether you want a french press style grind or an espresso grind, you can grind as coarse, medium, or fine (Turkish) as you wish by length of time and power you use to grind with your blender.

COFFEE HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS
Coffee was declared illegal 3 different times throughout history. Considering it’s the second most traded commodity in the world, with over 500 billion cups consumed every year, obviously people weren’t having that!
Coffee has a long history of being blamed for many illnesses, however newer studies have shown it may have health benefits, such as protecting against Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes and liver cancer.
Coffee can also help shed those extra pounds too! Â Of course, as they say “Everything in Moderation.”
Coffee grounds have other uses besides perking those sleepy eyes up in the morning. You can use the grounds as a room deodorizer, insect repellent, furniture scratch cover-up, and even help reduce cellulite!
