does it grind nuts into powder or coffee ?

The blender will not grind nuts into powder as there is a lot of oil contained in nuts; this blender will grind nuts into nut butter; ie., peanuts into peanut butter. The blender will also grind coffee beans. If coffee beans are ground too fine, the coffee brewed from such fine ground beans will taste unpleasantly bitter.

Actually that is the best use! I grind cooking pepper, cinnamon,and nutmeg. The pieces just have to be coffee bean size or smaller.

It could grind nuts into a powder or fine grist @ least. As for butter... I'm not surehow it would handle the addition of liquid??? You would then have to PRESS the butter down and into the shoot.

I bought this unit from Amazon 2 years ago and my wife and I love it. That being said, I seriously doubt that it will do a good job of grinding nuts (or coffee for that matter) into a fine powder. We do get good results with chopping, however, but haven't actually tried it with nuts. I believe that another reviewer warned NOT to chop ice with it.

No, I only tried to grind peanuts, it works great.I do not believe it can grind coffee beans properly, just by looking at the blade mechanism.

I use ground coffee. I grind it extra fine and it seems to work. Not as fast as course ground. But it works.

You can do this yourself by choosing your type of salt crystals, and put in it a mortal and pestle or a grinder (I use a Cuisinart coffee grinder) and pulse it until it is ground into as fine of a grain or a powder as you like. This salt just takes much effort out of it. Most people (myself included) do not like to have noticeable granules of salt on their popcorn or roasted nuts which using normal table salt produces. This salt does have tricalcium phosphate in it.

I grind nuts in it often and it works great. The trick is to let them completely cool after toasting them, before putting them through the grinder

This is mostly a meat grinder. I am afraid it would turn nuts into a pulverized state or even slight paste. Although, Weston All-Purpose Seed, Nut and Spice Grinder might serve the purpose.

Not sure what you mean by 'powders'. This coffee maker is designed to work with standard drip coffee grind. Everything from Folgers and Maxwell House to Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts. If the grind is very small, the result could look like powder, but I wouldn't recommend a grind that fine. It would make very strong coffee, and might float up and over the filter and get into the coffee pot, or worse, cause the filter to fold over and block the drip. This would cause an overflow and a very big mess. But if you use a standard grind, its a great inexpensive coffee maker. Nothing fancy like a timer or automatic shut-off or temperature settings, but an all around good appliance for a very good price.

The Cuisinart Stainless Steel Spice And Nut Grinder is advertised as capable of doing nut grinding. Does this work better or worse? The Cuisinart device looks like it is not heavy duty. But I'm guessing it will create nut butters.

Yes. You can grind the seeds. I personally use a coffee grinder to grind the seeds, then put them in a drink.

I don't think so! I could not make garlic powder out of granulated garlic, but have not tried to powder nuts.

No, It is not truly a powder as I define it. It is better described as a fine grind. If you don't mind the consistency it would do well in your drink.

I haven't tried this. I believe a coffee grinder would be best for these things. I have only done frozen bananas, nuts, and carrots which it pulverizes, so I assume that it can.

I buy regular ground coffee (Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts) or beans which I grind. I recommend regular ground coffee, or grind the beans yourself. Do not grind the coffee to a powder (like for espresso). I LOVE this machine - and it looks cool with the nice shade of turquoise blue light at night. It makes noticeably good coffee!
