  „Does anyone know if you can grind the coffee beans with a vitamix Blender. Don't have a grinder but do have a vitamix. Thought I would try ordering some whole beans if this vitamix would do the job.“

Espresso Grinding and Dosing

  „To extract espresso properly it is essential to use a burr grinder and to grind per order.  The two major types of burrs used are flat and conical.  Conical burrs are desirable because they increase the surface area of each particle and the amount of flavor that can be extracted from the coffee.  Since conical burrs have longer cutting edges, the burrs can rotate at lower speeds which reduces the heat created.  Flat burrs should be replaced after 600 pounds of coffee have been ground and conical burrs should be replaced after 2000 pounds of coffee have been ground.“

Grinding and Brewing Your Coffee

  „Plate grinders clog easily but make fairly even grinds. Burr grinders wear down eventually, but result in the most even grind in home devices. The ideal burr grinder is a hand-cranked unit, like the famous German brand Zassenhaus models. I have had bad luck with electric models that need constant care and cleaning, and tend to break anyway.“

Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: Braun KMM30 Coffee/Espresso Mill, White

  „We grind wheat and beans as well. This grinder, if you choose the espresso setting will make some of the nicest pastry wheat flour you'll ever see. It's not set up to make 10 pounds of flour, but if you only use a few cups of flour at a time, and like fresh ground whole wheat, this grinder is as good as it gets. When's the last time you saw a genuine floor grinder for less than 50 bucks?“
