Can I use a Coffee Grinder to grind wet ingredients?

Question

I would like to blend up some oils in very small quantities and I am wondering if anyone knows if a regular coffee grinder would work for this or would it ruin the coffee grinder?

Answer 1

I'd bet it would ruin the coffee grinder.  They are made for grinding dry materials like coffee and spices.  A stick blender would probably work just as well if not better.  And they are not expensive!

Answer 2

I've never heard of that. It'll most likely ruin it but if you don't care about it go ahead and give it a try. If you do, I would suggest putting your wet ingredients in a ziplock baggie and tossing it to blend.
