Grind coffee

Can I grind coffee beans in a blender?
Do you need expensive equipment to grind your own beans or will my cheap blender do the job? Has anyone tried this?
You can, if you want to ruin your blender AND your hearing......
You can get a Braun coffee grinder just about anywhere (think: Target or Wallyworld) for about 18 bucks.....and they last forever.....

How to Make the Single Espresso : How to Grind Coffee for a Single Espresso
If you grind your own coffee beans, is the coffee stronger the longer you grind the beans?
Or if you grind them only a little. And what is the optimal time for steeping in a frech press?
The grind does not affect the strength of your coffee, the roast does that. The longer the roast, the stronger the coffee (and the less the caffeine).
That being said, a grinder can burn beans if you grind for too long. For a french press you will want a relatively coarse grind. If you have a burr grinder, go with one of the coarsest settings and try from there. If you are using a blade grinder, use pulses to get the beans into relatively coarse pieces. Don't run the blade grinder continuously, or the heat can build up and burn the coffee.
Steep for 4-5 minutes. What I do next is plunge slowly, bring the filter back up a bit, and then plunge slowly again. Make sure you drink it black, ruin some drip coffee if you feel the need for cream and sugar.
