Dear Jayashree,......... Since my Preethi mixie went down recently, I am eager to try out Coffee grinder for this purpose... But I do not intend to use the same coffee grinder for grinding coffee beans.
Thanks for the tutorial, Vaagmi Sir!Every mixie comes with 4 sets of blades. They are meant for verious purposes like, wet grinding, dry grinding, whipping etc., So trying them all and using the incher feature in the mixie may help. My two cents. LOL
Thanks for the tutorial, Vaagmi Sir!
But all of us know these. J R wants to know whether she can use her coffee grinder for dry grinding dhals.
She won't use it for grinding coffee beans again!
BTW, I think coffee grinder will be tough enough to make dhal powders too. :thumb:

Dear Vaagmi ji,
I'm sure there is nothing that can outbeat our Indian mixie. I am just trying to find an alternative work-around to it for making spice powders (that also costs less) while I am researching on where to buy the next Indian mixie (mine broke down recently and all this time I got mine when on trips to India only).
Coffee grinder is very small and costs very little, but grinds effectively, more than other blenders available in the market, as far as my research goes...
Thanks for bringing back old memories of the manual coffee beans grinder, Vaagmi Sir!........ When I read RRjis post about my tutorial, I wanted to live up to that reputation and made this post just a tutorial. ...........

I have also seen a coffee beans roaster in my uncle's house. It was a cylindrical iron vessel with a sliding door to fill up
the coffee beans. The handle attached to the cylinder will enable us to rotate it over a plate holding burning charcoal. The
aroma will indicate that the roasting is enough. The roasted beans are stored in airtight container; enough powder freshly
ground every morning to make the yummiest coffee possible!
Oh! That mAmA was an expert in coffee making and a coffee addict too!
P.S: Those were the days when LICO (? ) charcoal was sought after by many. Does anyone remember?
most in chennai prefer mixes of plantation and peabury 60-40 or 50-50 with no chicory.or leo
in karnataka it is mostly the kothas blends
delhi it is mostly indian coffee boards coffee.
one an always get good coffee.
try ethopian coffee or star bucks if you are abroad for a change
as they say a lot can happen over a cup of coffee.
try saravanabhavan at chennai railway station early morning.
