Grinding Coffee Beans in Nutribullet

So, buckle up, and let’s coffee grinding with a Nutribullet.

The Setup

Before we jump into the results, let’s set the stage. I’ve loaded up the Nutribullet cup with coffee beans, filling it about halfway to ensure the blades have enough room to work their magic without getting jammed against the sides.

The plan is to execute a coarse grind suitable for a French press and then transition to a finer grind tailored for a drip coffee machine. Using the pulse function of the Nutribullet, which is activated by pushing down on the cup, we’re ready to put this kitchen gadget through its paces.

Testing the Coarse Grind

With the Nutribullet plugged in, I accidentally locked it in place and initiated the pulsing action. Surprisingly, it only took three pulses to achieve a decent coarse grind.

The result looked promising enough to be confidently used in a French press. In fact, it held its own against my dedicated coffee grinder. The ease of the process was impressive, and the consistency of the grind was noteworthy.

Testing Fine Grind

Now, let’s take it up a notch and aim for that fine grind suitable for a drip coffee machine. Unintentional locking hiccup aside, the Nutribullet handled the challenge with ease. The result was a grind that was finer than expected and comparable to a powder-like consistency. This level of fineness would undoubtedly elevate your drip coffee experience.

Cleaning and Maintenance

One concern with using a Nutribullet for grinding coffee beans is the cleanup process. However, I found that the blades were easy to clean by tapping off excess coffee grounds into the garbage can.

A quick rinse with a kitchen hose in the sink effectively removed any remaining residue. The hassle-free cleaning process makes the Nutribullet Pro 900 a convenient option for coffee enthusiasts.
