How well does it grind coffee beans?

I don't drink coffee sorry! I would suggest buying a separate smaller grinder. I only use this at work for sweet, softer fruits. I find it doesn't liquefy soft greens like I'd like it too.

You must have liquid in whatever you are blending. It doesn't do grinding...only blending. I believe the instruction book states that you must include liquid, but our experience is that it is a must! UPDATE: I checked the book and you do have to have liquid to blend, but my package came with an additional grinding blade that is not suppose to require liquids. I have never tried it though. I don't know if all the packages come with this blade or not.

I have not tried that yet. I have been using it for green smoothies, which it does fairly well. A few small chunks here and there

Yes, grinds very well. Grinds egg shells to fragments, I estimate them to be approx. 5mms.

I've only used a few settings in the medium to coarse range and they've been fairly consistent. It does grind a little finer than my old Cuisinart when used on comparable settings.

My wife uses it to grind spices and does it during the day. I can hear it run, but load enough to bother me, I am normally on calls.I think it might depend on what your are grinding, coffee beans might be a bit louder to start with compared spices. But overall it is a good grinder.

It will handle a large enough quantity of nuts just fine. It's really not designed to grind smaller amounts. You're better off with a coffee grinder for flax seeds and quantities of nuts and spices up to approx. 2 tablespoons. 1/4 cup may need to be done in 2 batches.

Using this particular grinder, I've kept it running since I bought it at a department store many years ago (closer to five, I think). It sadly burned out just recently as my dad has a habit of grinding a whole bag of beans rather than the 12 max it's intended to do at once. Even then it could do three full grinds in a short time, with maybe a brushing out every so many months. I did find some annoyances in the occasional bean stoppage and post-grind mess, but I'm buying this again.

Yes. It has a good range of grind. I use mine with aeropress, which is similar to French press, and electric pump espresso machine.

I think it might be ok. I used it to grind cardamom seeds and it was great. The grind wheel is adjustable so you should be ok. I don't think it would work for coffee beans or anything of that size

I use it only for coffee beans. Works fine but you have to judge how long to grind. My previous coffee grinder had automatic gring setting from course to fine. That is my only complaint

It grinds fairly fine. But too small for much volumne. I would think something else would do better

im not sure all I ever grind is coffee beans and it does a great job at grinding them

Have never used it for the seeds you have listed, but know it will grind coffee beans up to an almost dust. Have enjoyed it, when I do decided to grind coffee beans.

May be a little loud as coffee beans hit the metal cup. Coffee drinkers in my family love this grinder. It is quick and easy to use. You control how fine or coarse you want the beans to be grounded by holding down the button longer. It works for bread crumbs as well.

I don't have it near me, but there are approximately 10-12 settings. You can get the desired gring for almost anything I can imagine. You dial the desired grind, tell it how many cups worth of beans are in the grinder and simply push the "on" button. The grind goes for the correct time - it's idiot proof and it eliminates debate with other people as to how long you should grind beans for the intended use.

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 a bit noisy but it takes anywhere from 3-6 seconds to grind the beans that it's just not on long enough to be an issue. Don't let that deter you from buying this. It's the best coffee grinder I've ever used. The cup comes out and I pour grinds directly into the coffee maker, zero coffee grinds on the counter and the cord wraps up underneath it so you can make it as long or short as you want. I just wipe the grinder cup out with a papertowel and it's good to go for the next day. This grinder is pretty awesome!

It works fine to roast green coffee beans. Wish it held more, since I drink too much coffee, but that's my only complaint.
