Can this be used to grind all kinds of beans? Example, soybeans, cocoa beans , wheat berries?

We use it for spice. Not sure, but think it would depend on how moist and fibrous the bean.

I do not know if it grinds poppy seeds, but I do know it works great on wheat berries, much better than my electric grinder. Being that it is a hand grinder, I would assume it would grind any and all seeds.

Yes indeed, this will crack the hull of the grains. The grind can be adjusted. Although maybe not to powder or fine enough for coffee - depends how fine / course you need...

I bought it to make peanut butter which I was not successful at doing. When I tried to make it I ended up with very small granules of peanuts. I would suggest that you buy a coffee bean grinder.

I think it might be ok. I used it to grind cardamom seeds and it was great. The grind wheel is adjustable so you should be ok. I don't think it would work for coffee beans or anything of that size

I used it to grind whole black peppercorns and it worked well. It grinds well, the only thing is that you cannot really adjust the grinder to have fine grind. Hope this helps :)

I would not recommend it. Just like oily nuts and seeds, coffee beans have oil and may clog the grinder. It takes very little oil to clog the grinder.

yes. the grinder can be used to grind anything, even dried spices, that is large enough to need grinding. you will have to clean the grinder after each use or before grinding coffee beans, so that your coffee doesn't taste off.

Probably not. This works best on soft foods. I've used other similar handheld grinders and they're all pretty much the same.

Yes, this grinder can be used to crack and grind soybeans. But it is a bit messy to use for that purpose and the hopper is too small.I would recommend the Family Grain Mill or the Country Living Grain Mill for soybeans instead of this one as they can do larger quantitieswith their bigger hoppers. Both of these grain mills are available through Amazon also. Just do a search through the search bar for "grain mill".This one is great for grinding smaller grains to flour, but soybeans may be a bit more than it can handle...

I use mine strictly for coffee beans. I read in other reviews that people had problems with clogging while grinding grain. My beans are very oily, but have yet to have an issue with clogging.

Depending on the grains you want to grind, this should work for what you want. I use it to grind various grains for a 10 grain bread which provides a nice crunchy texture and not just for fine flour. You can't use the grinder for oily grains (Hops?) as the oil will clog the grinder.

Actually that is the best use! I grind cooking pepper, cinnamon,and nutmeg. The pieces just have to be coffee bean size or smaller.

Yes it would do a fine job.. It would grind a coffee bean well. Buy and enjoy.

I would say yes but I would also say that it's a lot of work. I use it to grind coffee beans and it takes a good bit of time and effort. It works beautifully though.

Yes - I use it exclusively for grinding flax seed. In fact, I find that this unit grinds the flax seeds into a finer powder than the "pre-ground" flax seed that you can buy at the store.

Yes, but grind it coarse first, then fine if wanted. Coffee beans are a little sticky.
