Saturday Morning Troubles!!

[TheBeast]

The darn coffee grinder finally took a hit...any ideas on what else I could use to grind some coffee for this morning? HELP!!!!!

 

[sibernation]

Put the beans in a plastic bag, cover with tin foil, cover with a dish towel, garb a hammer, and get to work.

Double ziplock storage bag and a meat tenderizer BAM, BAM, BAM and you have ground coffee

P.S. Also works with Hammer, Rolling Pin, Wine Bottle, Dress Shoe Hill

 

[FatherTiresius]

Nah, screw all that. Just eat the beans.

 

[TheBeast]

Well I went with a two step process...first I used a hand grinder...although that just split up the bean a little...then I double bagged it and smashed the chit out of it with a meat malet. All I got was pulverized bean. I didn't really get the "ground" I was looking for. I tried it anyway...made a weak ass cup o' joe. Thanks for all the suggestions. I kind of had coffee...I guess. ???

 

[emodx]

Uh...how bout a blender or one of those fancy food processors?

 

[Rod]

Just go out and buy a new one, you can't live that far from a store! :lookup: :sign:

He could live that far from a store actually, I do. My nearest wal-mart is 60 miles away. We have a Pamida ( A wal-mart wana be ) but it never has anything in stock and is pretty small anyway. I don't have a clue where I would put my hands on a grinder in an emergency.

Beastie lives up around Grand Rapids, MI if memory serves - there's gotta be SOMETHING around there that can grind coffee! Get off your lazy butt and go buy one!

Have a heart man, cut the guy some slack:
a) Good burr grinders don't grow on trees. Wally World might have one but I'd be surprised. And those whirlybird thingies might be good for grinding some things :lookup: but they're useless for coffee.
b) The last thing you want to do first thing on a Saturday morning is get up, get dressed and go shopping for a coffee grinder before your first cup of coffee.

Beast, I feel your pain.

 

[gibu]

Thats why you lay in an emergency stock of Folgers. :thumbs:

 

[FatherTiresius]

Dude, it would have to be one hell of an emergency...

 

[gibu]

Well, What would you call the posibility of perhaps no coffee at all on a weekend morning?? :angry:

 

[TheBeast]

Thanks for all the support. :lookup: :lookup: :lookup:

The fact is, I had the kids that morning, the wife was at work. I wasn't going to pack them up and go shopping for a grinder...hence the need for emergency ideas.

Anyway...picked one up later in the day and was able to enjoy my coffee Sunday morning, along with a very nice Dunhill (Thanks again Devin ) It all works out...one way or another.
