If you can’t resist the taste and the smell of fresh coffee, the coffee grinder is probably your favorite kitchen tool. Most people use it to simply grind their coffee, but you shouldn’t stop there because this machine comes with many alternative uses that never crossed your mind.

Flour

From wheat to quinoa, you can use your coffee grinder to make flour from many different kinds of grain, but it’s better to stick to smaller amounts.

Breadcrumbs

When you’re out of ideas about what to do with your stale bread, making breadcrumbs is always a good option. There’s no need to tear your bread into small pieces on your own when your coffee grinder can do all the hard work for you.

Powdered Sugar

Most people buy powdered sugar separately when a recipe calls for it. If you don’t want to run to the store or spend extra for this sugar variety, how about using your coffee grinder to make super-fine sugar?

Spices

If you like to spice things up in the kitchen, how about making your own spices, as well? A coffee grinder can be used to turn many spices into a fine powder and they’ll be as fresh as it gets.
