Aside from the fact that I wouldn't want to be the one to grind my coffee whatever roast it may be after someone who just finished grinding their two pounds of mocha java super blueberry pumpkin spice decaff, you have no idea of how often those machines are cleaned if at all. Coffee contains oils and those oils like anything else can get rancid. I guess you can go to your local roaster to get your beans ground, but the best way is to get your own grinder and grind as you use them. Coffee grounds are kind of like bread. Best when fresh and it only goes downhill from there. If you're going to do beans and keeping in mind that coffee beans can actually get pricy if you really want quality, the next best thing you can do is get a quality grinder and after that is an accurate digital scale that can weigh to the gram. Coffee is all about ground to water ratio, water temperature and emersion time. -----Original Message----- From: Geovanni bahena via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Friday, December 29, 2017 1:52 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Geovanni bahena <gs122...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [CnD] Grinding Coffee Hi folks, I also would like some tips on this. I have a grinder, but always find myself making a mess when putting the coffee in a container after I grind it. Mind you, I like my coffee nice and bold, so I grind it pretty fine.

Or, some of the grocery stores have them too. Good to hear you on here.

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.
