Will it grind almonds?

Yes, it has a blank to do nut butters. This is a fabulous juicer, had mine for 30 years and still the same!

I haven't ground almonds yet but I have ground oats and Himalayan salt. It ground the oatmeal almost as finely as what I've purchased from the grocery store. The Himalayan salt chunks, ground into an extremely fine powder, almost too fine. Also, it seems like there's not a lot of variation from fine to course. It all seems about the same. One more important thing.... you have to take it apart EVERY TIME YOU USE IT! If you don't take it apart, stuff will be all stuck up inside the grinder and it may get all disgusting. It's not difficult, but it's a hassle.

Hi,You should be able to grind almonds with the blade that comes with the basic machine. You'll need to put the 'blank' in, where the fine screen usually goes, so as to push out the ground almonds. Do you want almond flour? Otherwise, you may have to chop the almonds fine enough to use the grain mill, but I have not done this with mine.

I have ground almonds to make a pastry crust. It didn't come out super fine but was adequate for my purpose. I think I'd depend on how fine you need it.

Yes, but it will grind them very finely. I use it to grind both coffee and flax seed, and it does a fabulous job. For things that I want a courser grind, I usually use a small food processor that I have.

This grinder produces a coarse grind as is shown in the product photo of ground nutmeg. If you truly need a "dust-like" consistency, such as that of store-bought ground oregano, then I don't think this product will meet your needs.

I bought this unit from Amazon 2 years ago and my wife and I love it. That being said, I seriously doubt that it will do a good job of grinding nuts (or coffee for that matter) into a fine powder. We do get good results with chopping, however, but haven't actually tried it with nuts. I believe that another reviewer warned NOT to chop ice with it.

I haven't used this one for grinding spices but I do have a Krups that I use and it works great. I don't see why this one wouldn't work.

In general, no. You need the Wonder Junior to do a good job with nuts and seeds. However, there are a select few things like this it can grind. To answer your specific question, though, it CANNOT grind almond nuts, and it will VOID the warranty if you attempt it. Please contact us for more information on this mill or the Wonder Junior (its hand operated sister unit). We also sell other machines that would do the job very well.

No, it will not grind flax seeds. PS. I love golden flax seeds. Many people assume that the dark brown flax seeds are the only ones available.

Yes but you have to watch it closely so that the blades don't grind the almonds further down to a denser consistency.

It will but depends what you are grinding, I used to make lentils and the lentil's skin would not go through. If you put steamed pears, apples, bananas then it does go all the way up

Oh yes, it can grind nuts, pulse them if you don't want them finely ground.

It will grind it to a point. Not to flour consistency. Might work for what your looking to do.

It should- they may need to be broken cause almonds are larger. Cant say 100% for whole almonds-

although I haven't tried it yet, I did do a lot of reading before I purchased it. It should grind nuts, grains, and dried beans. We purchased it for emergency use. I own an electric wheat grinder.

I haven't tried it with nuts or grains. I mostly used it to grind up cinnamon so far. But it should grind nuts.

I don't drink coffee so I don't know about that. But it will grind nuts. Read the review on CNET.http://reviews.cnet.com/blenders-juicers/ninja-ultima-blender-bl810/4505-17881_7-35828619-2.html

No, I only tried to grind peanuts, it works great.I do not believe it can grind coffee beans properly, just by looking at the blade mechanism.
