coffee grinder vs blender

[oneistheall]

my coffee grinder broke when trying to grind some cactus chips.thinking about replacing it with a blender because the grinder had a small capacity (50grs) and it didnt last much.
any experience grinding to powder cactus chips with a blender? I wonder if it will be effective, let me know what you think before i spend some dough.thx.

it depends on your blender

get you one of these Maaaaan!

additionally if youre going to do a a bass paste with orange oil, add your water to your blendor first then the dried chips and make a gnarly slugde to bassify then nps pull

Damn... a $500+ blender. I hope that it will grind small tree branches for that kind of money..... My $35 black and decker does a good job on seeds and small stuff.

Was it a proper coffee grinder (w/ conical burr), or one of the cheap blender-style things with a blade in the bottom? If you want fine, *uniform* powder, you probably want either a conical burr grinder or a nice big granite mortar and pestle.

thx for your answers.finally fixed my old coffee grinder (one of the moulinex chipos) and bought an other one the same, at least now I can grind 100grms (2x50) at the time, its pretty effective powdering, the only thing than i didnt like was the cacacity...

OSTER izer blender

mine was cheap, and has ripped up dried cacti now for years, has a good capacity, and still blends ice perfectly for drinks

tipping the unit on its side will clear jams, and prevent early motor wear or failure-if the blade is impeded for too long the motor gets real hot

i also found tipping the grinder to be as they say in pokemon "SUPER EFFECTIVE"
