Can I grind seeds and nuts with it also or only coffee?

I grind cocoa nibs with my Hario canister grinder. I would suggest keeping it a dedicated seed/nut grinder and not using it to grind coffee. You wouldn't want everything else you grind to taste like coffee. ;)

yes. the grinder can be used to grind anything, even dried spices, that is large enough to need grinding. you will have to clean the grinder after each use or before grinding coffee beans, so that your coffee doesn't taste off.

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.

No, you cannot grind anything other than roasted coffee. Grinding other things may damage the machine and/or cause injury. It is certainly not covered by the warranty.

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

Unfortunately, I've only ground coffee in my grinder. The coffee grinds that result are close to the size of sugar particulates, so I would venture to say no. Your best bet is to contact the manufacture for a definitive answer.

I would not recommend grinding anything besides coffee beans. Linseed will affect the mechanical components for future grinding of coffee beans along with oil residue. I would recommend the purchase of a separate spice grinder for such purposes.

Yes. We use it for grinding coffee, cardamom, clove and other crunchy spices. Almonds should be no problem. It has two different grinding cups with different blades for different grinding jobs.

As others have said here, for coffee, you can get a course grind by not grinding so long. I use mine for spices and want a very fine grind.

You can use the milling blade for nuts, flax seed, etc... it grinds it so that it will blend better in smoothies / shakes. I use mine quite often. I also use it to grind coffee beans.

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

No. No coffee or spice grinder is designed to do that. Use a food processor, blender or immersion blender.

The answer is "YES", using the espresso setting. I would not recommend using the same grinder for both coffee AND spices, as the different flavors may have an unpleasant effect on one another.

To reeep the benefits for flax the seeds need to be milled/ground. You can use a coffee grinder. They are great in smoothies and sprinkled on salads working the other nutrients for maximum absorption.

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

Personally, I only use this grinder for coffee. Please see the description for any other food grinding

We like a fine grind on our coffee and it does a great job of that. We haven't tried any kind of nuts in it but I suppose it would probably work.
