this is a silly question. But. Can I wrap this around my coffee grinder every morning to reduce the sound the grinder makes?

NO! This is made to 'peel and stick' to the inside of your automobile hood. As to the grinder, buy a better quality or buy Bose headphones.

I would say no, this just a rubber mat with adhesive in the back. Use some 2 or 3 inch foam.

No idea, but a darn good question. I have not purchased the grinder yet, but am interested in doing so. This may sway my purchase.Good Luck!!

I agree with the others. It's not recommended to grind coffee with. Even if you did grind ten pounds per say, it would be course. And it would stain the inside and everything else would smell like coffee. I used a magic bullet for that and ruined it. Just from experience, leave coffee grinding to a coffee grinder, they are built for it. Also your other food won't be coffee tainted.

Just put a small amount of regular coffee filter in the cup. Make it so that it is a single layer and so that it doesn't interfere with the lid. That is what I do too and it works great! Doesn't seem to effect the coffee at all except to have less sediment in my cup!

It works better if you clean grinder daily. If you let it go for a couple of days there is build up of beans that don't get ground up and of course the coffee doesn't taste as good.

I sometimes run oats through my grinder to clean it with no problem. Since flax or sunflower seeds are a good deal softer than roasted coffee beans, I think it would be fine. The only thing I would worry about is the seed goo gumming up the burrs and making your coffee taste nasty. Please don't do that. Regards, NanoRoast

I love the grinderwe grind coffee every morning. You control how long you grind it, just don't grind as long. Worth the purchase

No. You can put ground coffee directly in the basket and just push the "grind off" button.

No. Since it is preground you cannot control the flow through adjusting the grind size. Therefore it will only be "useable" in cheaper espresso machines that have a pressurized portafilter.

Sorry, seems like you got the lemon in otherwise great appliance. I have use it everyday and have not experienced this kind of problem. I set the timer at night and wake up to the aroma of coffee wafting through my apartment. The only noise it makes is the burr of the grinder. I suggest you return your unit as defective and request an exchange. Companies are usually very good about this since they don't want to lose customers due to bad publicity.

Namely because when a grinder is used it is grinding &/or cutting and that very act is going to create a lot of noise (which is why I wear hearing protection). I have four grinders presently (all different manufactures) and have never thought that one was quieter or noisier than another.

Yes, just put a filter with ground coffee into the basket and push the "don't grind" button which is below the on/off button, or you can set the timer, but you still need to pust the "don't grind" button.

There will always be a small amount of residue unless you remove the Burr and clean it out completely. I don't think this is really necessary unless you have world class professional coffee tasting taste buds. ;P

No. Not designed for it. It might possibly work but the ground coffee would probably not feed efficiently thru the grinder.

Not really. I have had this grinder for a few months now, and find that if I tap the grinder, maybe 1/4 - teaspoon, at most, comes out. I don't save it as I want freshly ground coffee each time I make it. The directions recommend cleaning the burrs every few weeks, and I have done it twice in a few months - that's all. I have not noticed appreciable residue when I switch from one kind of bean to another.

No. What ever you use needs to be ground. So either buy ground coffee or grind it yourself. Hmmm. Sounds good right about now.

You would think I would know the answer because I have used the grind and brew model every day for years and years. I don't think I have ever tried to brew with the grinder out of the machine. I clean the grinder and return it to the machine after every use, so if I decide to brew from ground beans - the "clean grinder" just remains in the machine. It brews perfectly whether you turn the grinder on to "grind and brew;" or if you turn the grinder off and put ground beans in the gold basket.
