Your go-to kitchen appliance for blending, mixing, grinding, and more, the juicer mixer grinder is capable of doing much more than you think. While it is primarily designed for juicing fresh ingredients, grinding spices into masala mixes, making purees, etc, with a little know-how, it can also help you grind coffee beans right in your kitchen.
If you are someone who doesn’t like pre-ground coffee, which loses its strong aroma within minutes of opening the seal, this guide is just for you. Even though you can get a dedicated grinder to get just the right size and consistency of the coffee grains, Usha’s juicer mixer grinder can also be your handy gadget. To grind your beans like your favourite barista, read on these tips, and elevate your daily brew.
Use Fresh Beans
Before you start the grind, make sure you are using fresh roasted coffee beans. Since pre-ground beans are bound to lose their flavour quickly, get whole beans, which will retain their oils till you grind them. Depending on your preference, you can pick light or dark roast and store them in an airtight container before and after you grind them in Usha’s juicer mixer grinder.
Grind Size And Brewing Technique
You might already know that different spices require different levels of grinding. Similarly, depending on how you brew your coffee, there are specific grind sizes to get the best flavour. For example, a coarse grind would be appropriate if you like to have a cold brew. For an espresso shot, a fine grind of a similar size to that of table salt would be appropriate.

Use The Pulse Setting
One of the most important tips for getting the perfect coffee grind is to pulse and not continuously run the mixer grinder. If you leave the coffee beans in Usha’s juicer mixer grinder at full speed, it can overheat the beans, impacting their natural taste. Also, you might get an inconsistent mixture of large chunks of coffee and a finely ground powder. So, always use the pulse setting to avoid irregular processing.
Start With A Small Batch
Since one of the biggest challenges while grinding coffee beans at home is to get a uniform consistency, it’s best if you start with small batches. As the blades of the mixer grinder will chop the beans, you might get a mixture of coarsely ground beans and some dust if the jar is overfilled. Even though it may take more time, always make 2-3 tablespoons of whole beans at a time, pulse, shake the jar, and grind again.
Clean After Each Use
Once you get your homemade batch of ground beans, all that’s left is to clean your Usha’s juicer mixer grinder thoroughly. Just like after every regular use, rinse it with soapy water, clean the unreachable spots with a brush, and pat dry the motor with a wet cloth. Furthermore, don’t forget to store the ground coffee in an airtight container.
