Will it grind coffee beans, or would that run it?

Yes it grinds coffee beans, nicely, but the motor lasts onky about 2 yr when doing 2 bags a month, about 50bags, then the motor starts to fry. I do not use it for anything but coffee and its ok, - a medium to course grind. Not fine at all. M riley, elgin.

I think it would ruin it. It's honestly the weakest food processor I have ver owned.

The Ninja does an excellent job at grinding stuff but coffee, I'm not sure if the blades would reach the bottom enough to do that well of a job. I guess it depends on how much coffee your going to grind.

I would say probably not. Have you looked into renting a machine? I worked with one that ground the beans per cup and made coffee, espresso, cappuccino and latte with a touch of a button.

Sorry I have only ever used it for coffee beans but I am pretty sure it would work well.

I have not yet dismantled the grinder yet-- but I do know that the mill is adjustable-- and that the grinders are large enough to handle Coffee berry/beans just fine. Ask me in a year or two, if I have had a chance to tear into it by then.-- Mack

I've never used it for anything but coffee beans but I imagine you could grind flax seed on a finer setting.

It can grind coffee, but I would not recommend it. It is too big and powerful for that. Unless you want to grind 10 pounds at a time.

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.

hello richard, in the instruction booklet it says " use this appliance to grind coffee beans only. grinding other substances, such as nuts, spices or unroasted beans may dull the blade and cause poor grinding or injury. hope this helps you out. but i'll tell you, i love this appliance. i grind my coffee beans every moring for coffee. yummmm.

I haven't tried them, but I don't see why it wouldn't, it grinds coffee beans.

Its a manual grinder, therefore it would obviously depend on how fast you crank the handle.

I would imagine that if it can turn coffee beans to coffee grounds, that it could do the same for most similar items, but I'm honestly not sure. I could try it on mine for you and let you know the results if you'd like, I'm actually selling mine on Amazon.

yes it does, all depends on the grinded bean, fine grind strong coffee etc.

I think so, yes. It has settings as low as 4 cups of liquid coffee. I typically use about 3 scoops of coffee beans to make 5 cups of coffee. I do that regularly. (Btw, don't let the setting for the number of cups throw you too much; it just controls how long the grinder runs.)

It's primarily for beans, but there is a button that shuts off the grinding cycle. You will have to put the grounds into the basket yourself.

It will depend on how many amps the grinder draws while running. If I remember right this switch is good for ten amps. A small grinder would work fine.
