"ground coffee" news and stories

A friend gave me a bag of coffee beans as a gift. It was lovely, smelled great, and I can't wait to open the bag and start brewing...Wait, the beans are whole, and I don't have a coffee grinder!

I thought it was an absolute stroke of genius when I busted out my food processor. In my brilliant mind, a food processor is basically a giant version of a coffee mill.

That is so untrue! So untrue! Now my poor little food processor is in critical condition. She'll make it, no doubt, but I suspect she'll never be the same.

The coffee beans are worse. About ¼ of the beans are still almost completely intact. The rest of the beans are a complete mess of chopped beans in all different size. Now, I know this does not makes for a good brew, but I tried it anyway.

Bad brew. Not even cream made it taste better, and I never use cream. Do not grind your coffee beans with a food processor.
