Can I use a herb grinder to grind ground coffee beans into fine powder?
I’m just wondering.
By herb grinder, I mean the two round disks that have small pins or blades (sometimes called “teeth”) on each side.
I think you mean a burr grinder. If so, the conventional wisdom is that that’s the best for grinding coffee, so long as you can adjust it to the grind you want. You said fine so I’m thinking you’re making espresso. True?
If you have been using it to grind herbs, though, it is difficult to get those flavors out of the grinder. You might try grinding some bread crumbs through it, but the best bet is to have a grinder dedicated to your coffee.
I recently posted an article on Suite101.com that covers that and more about “How to Make Great Coffee.”
There’s a few more key tips to remember than just using the right grinder.
