Weed Grinder or Coffee Grinder to grind dried Fruits?
    #28230535 - 03/15/23 09:56 AM (1 year, 9 months ago)

Just wondering what would be best for this job.

I store my fruits dried in jars in the freezer and would like to grind them up before I consume them.  At the moment I just use a pestle and mortice.

Thinking of buying a small hand coffee grinder or maybe just a small weed grinder.  Any thoughts?

A lot depends on the volume you want to grind at one time.

If it's just a little, then your mortar and pestle is probably ideal.

Most people like the basic little electric espresso grinders, but you do need a decent handful in order for it to work efficiently. For larger amounts than that, blenders usually work well.

I guess a basic weed grinder would work pretty well, could be harder to get it all out though.

Small electric coffee grinder is easiest, and they can be had cheap.

There's also no need to store then in the freezer if they are properly dried.

No freezer. Just airtight and dark. Opening the container in warm air brings in moisture through condensation.

I have an electric coffee grinder that is probably thirty years old. The kind with a bottom blade. I only use it when preparing capsules.

How are you going to be consuming? I am all-in on tea these days. Chopping coarsely with a kitchen knife is more than sufficient.

If I make tea I just crunch the dried fruits with my hand.

Honestly I think a pestle and mortar works just fine. But you can find a blade coffee grinder for a couple bucks on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

Electric coffee grinder is still my favorite. While its grinding, i will shake the grinder up and down to catch all the dried shrooms.

depends what you're looking for.. a weed grinder will give you a rougher grind, unless you're talking about one of those electric ones. a coffee grinder can grind coarse or fine depending on how long you grind it for. I prefer using a coffee grinder.

Check out donation stores like Goodwill. I see them there all the time for not much.

With the electric coffee grinders I find it is best to let it settle for a minute before opening it otherwise a bunch of dust gets released into the air.

I use my magic bullet. Easier to clean than most coffee grinders. Seems to work better too.

I'd never use my weed grinder because I don't want mushroom dust in my joints

Same. I was hesitant first, but now I'm all about it. Material seems to settle down quicker, and then when you take the lid/base off you can flip the whole thing over into another container and avoid a dust cloud.
