The husband went out to buy ground coffee & despite picking a bag with coffee BEANS written on the front it he didn't notice until he opened the packet that they weren't ground!
We don't have a coffee bean grinder & was just wondering if a blender or food processer would work?
Thanks

Yes! I think most food processors will deal with coffee beans - just won't get the grind fine enough for, say, espresso. It's not greatly efficient means, but unless your manual says don't, I think it's safe.
Even a mortar and pestle or hammer and clean dish cloth would do!Still waiting for Dyson to bring out a ride-on hoover...Memberships:

I've used the blender attachment on the Kenwood for grinding coffee beans with no ill effects to blender or beans!Resolution:
