Hello Everyone,

I have some Starbucks coffee beans I need to grind, but I don't have a grinder. How can I grind them without buying one?

Thanks in advance
Rick Warren

I guess it's not the best way of grinding coffee beans or anything that hard but you could try a mortar ;) At least, it worked a couple centuries ago :d

By the way, I have ground coffee beans in that way several times, and liked it. Though I still prefer a coffee-grinder, it is much easier and convenient, to my mind. :d

Oh, you could also try putting them in a plastic bag and knock them with a hammer. But that's not the best idea I've ever had, I guess. ;)

You'd better buy yourself a proper grinder, it's almost impossible doing it without it. :-\

Well not the best idea in the world. I you're really crazy about coffee the best thing you'd do is get a grinder. For my daily dose of espresso I use the Nespresso VertuoLine.

It comes with cutting edge technology which helps you prep coffee within a minutes, it's cheap and adds texture and flavour to your coffee like any cafe. Find out all the pros and cons of the model on my blog https://freshpresso.net/best-nespresso-coffee-makers/

You can buy very convenient hand grinders online. If you have a pepper grinder you can also use it. But a grinder is the best investment. :)
