For years I've been grinding my own coffee beans, using a simple coffee grinder from Walmart costing around thirty dollars. When I bought the last one a few months ago, they had two models and I chose the better of the two. It had a more powerful motor and holds about a cup of beans. So I keep a rubbermade type of container just for ground coffee and grind enough for about a week at a time and keep it in the refrigerator. I purchase two and a half pound bags of dark roast beans from Sams Club and store the bags in the freezer. I found that I can take them right from the freezer and grind them in their frozen state. Love that freshly ground coffee! Happy guzzling! Lois Goodine.

I used to have an electric grinder just made for coffee. The metal bowl would hold enough for a pot of coffee or maybe 4-5 scoops of beans though it's been a long time since I had one of those. I would think that if you used a food processor, you would have the taste of the coffee with anything else you processed so to me a dedicated grinder would be your best bet. I'd check Amazon.com/access Or perhaps Walmart or Bed, Bath and Beyond. Good luck!

These days, I am using a Kurt, and don’t even have a grinder anymore. I have been led to believe that it is possible too use a food processor or a blender to grind the beans, but I would like to know how fine, which setting, etc. should be used. Thanks for your assistance, and may your 2018 be filled with lots of accessible websites and products.
