Sometimes you will feel a little bit of pain because of the sharp blade. But, if you have a lot of patience, you can do it. I think if you want a single cup of coffee when traveling or camping then use this method. But, if you want a good espresso then I think using a coffee grinder is the better way to go.

Is it better to grind coffee beans in a blender or food processor?
Personally, I think it’s better to grind coffee beans in a food processor. Blenders are great for making smoothies and other blended drinks, but they’re not really good at grinding beans. Food processors are better at grinding beans because they have multiple blades that can break down the bean into smaller pieces. This makes it easier to get a fine grind.
So, if you’re looking for a way to grind coffee beans at home then I would recommend using a food processor.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, using a coffee grinder is the easiest way to grind your beans. It’s also the best way to make an excellent espresso. However, if you’re looking to grind your beans by hand, it can be quite difficult. But, with a little patience, it can be done. Hopefully, you enjoyed this article!
