what i mean is can i use a blender or something else? i have a bag of whole coffee beans and they are expensive ones so i want to use them….i will eventually purchase a coffee grinder but I want some coffee NOW..lol.

depends how you intend to brew the coffee….if using a cafetiere/french press then you need a course grind.

Using a blender will give a crap inconsistent blend that will give you a poor coffee as there will be big chunks left, along with various levels of grind including fine powder.

If they really are expensive beans – get a decent grinder as your just going to ruin them using a blender.

A stick blender will work ,or an ordinary blender, (with the lid on)

a blender will give you a coarse grind and you may need to sharpen the blades after.

Yup, blender. But if they’re hard then they may damage the blades….. Or use a hammer. You just want them mished up.
