Can a wall breaking machine grind coffee beans?

Blender and coffee bean grinder

As people's demand for coffee continues to increase, more and more families are starting to buy coffee machines to make their own coffee. When choosing a coffee machine, many people will pay attention to whether it has a wall breaking function, because this function can help us better retain the nutrients of coffee beans. However, many people are also curious, since it has a wall breaking function, can it be used to grind coffee beans? This article will discuss this issue.

What is a wall breaker?

First of all, we need to understand what a wall crusher is. Simply put, it is a device that can crush cellulose, protein and other substances in food into tiny particles. Common application scenarios include juicing, making fruit puree, etc. The most common use in households is to squeeze nuts and grains.

Why can’t we use a blender to process coffee beans directly?

Although a wall-breaking machine is very convenient for processing food ingredients, it is not suitable for processing coffee beans directly using a wall-breaking machine. There are several main reasons:

First of all, the coffee bean crusher was not originally designed for processing coffee beans. Its blades and container structure are designed to process nuts and grains, and cannot adapt well to the special form of coffee beans.

Secondly, the wall breaking machine will generate a high temperature during operation. For coffee beans, too high a temperature will cause the aroma components in them to evaporate, thus affecting the taste of the final drink.

In addition, when using a wall breaker for processing, you also need to consider issues such as the degree of crushing and uniformity. Since coffee beans are relatively hard and irregular in shape, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect when using an ordinary household wall breaker for processing.

How to use the coffee bean crusher correctly to pre-process coffee beans?

Although we cannot directly put the whole coffee beans into the blender for processing, we can achieve better results through some pre-processing methods.

First, we can roast the coffee beans in advance. During the roasting process, the coffee beans will become more fragile, so that they can be more easily crushed into fine particles when processed using a wall crusher.

Secondly, you can crush the coffee beans slightly before using the coffee breaker. This will help improve processing efficiency and reduce unevenness caused by different hardness.

Other equipment suitable for grinding coffee beans

In addition to the coffee bean grinder, there are some other equipment that are also very suitable for grinding coffee beans.

The most common is the professional-grade coffee bean grinder. This device usually uses a conical blade or a flat blade to grind the coffee beans into particles of varying sizes. Compared to household-grade electric blenders and hand blenders, professional-grade coffee bean grinders are more precise and stable.

In addition, there are some manual grinders that are also very suitable for processing coffee beans. This type of equipment usually uses ceramic blades or stainless steel blades, and crushes the coffee beans by manual rotation. Although it takes more time and physical effort than electric equipment, it can ensure that the coffee beans are not affected by high temperatures during processing, and the degree of grinding can be adjusted according to personal taste.

Summarize

In summary, although the wall breaking machine has a good food processing function, it is not suitable for direct processing of coffee beans. If you want to make delicious homemade coffee drinks, it is recommended to choose a professional-grade coffee bean grinder or a manual grinder for crushing. At the same time, when using these devices, you also need to pay attention to controlling factors such as temperature and uniformity to ensure the taste and quality of the final drink.
