How to grind coffee beans without tools?

Grinding coffee beans is one of the important steps in making delicious coffee. Although we usually use professional coffee bean grinders to complete this task, we can still grind coffee beans through some simple methods without tools.

First, we need to find a hard and flat surface. You can use a marble countertop, a wooden board or even a rock. Clean the surface and make sure it is free of any dust or impurities.

Next, place a suitable amount of coffee beans on the surface and gently tap and roll them over the beans with another flat, hard object (such as a rolling pin, hammer, etc.). This will help to crush the beans and continue to grind them.

To better control the powder size and uniformity, you can adjust the force and frequency of tapping and rolling. Continue for several minutes until the desired particle size is achieved.

When you feel you have achieved the ideal state, use a sieve to filter out the larger particles, leaving only the fine coffee powder. This will ensure that your coffee can release its aroma and taste evenly when brewing.

Finally, use the ground coffee beans as soon as possible. Since professional equipment is not used to grind the beans, there may be some uneven or larger particles. Therefore, it is best to use them as soon as possible before brewing to fully develop their flavor.

Although there are no professional tools to help us grind coffee beans, this goal can still be achieved through the simple methods mentioned above. Remember to choose an appropriate surface and adjust the beating and rolling strength to achieve the ideal state. The most important thing is to enjoy the fun and deliciousness of making your own hand-ground fresh coffee!
