If you enjoy grinding your own coffee to make sure it’s always perfectly fresh, a coffee grinder is probably one of your favorite kitchen tools. Most people use it to grind coffee beans and call it a day, but coffee grinders actually come with a long list of alternative uses that have never crossed your mind.
Grinding Spices
In addition to grinding coffee beans, this kitchen tool can be used to turn many other things into a fine powder, including spices, which makes it a great replacement for a spice grinder.
Grinding Flour
You can use your coffee grinder to make many different kinds of flour, with everything from wheat to quinoa—but there’s a catch! You should only use a coffee grinder this way when you need a really small amount of flour because it takes a lot of time to get the job done.
Making Powdered Sugar
Powdered sugar isn’t difficult to find at grocery stores, but if you need a small amount and don’t feel like going shopping, you can use a coffee grinder to turn regular sugar into powder.
Making Breadcrumbs
Stale bread can be turned into breadcrumbs in more ways than one, and a coffee grinder will help you speed up the process.
