To get that caffeine kick, is it possible W/O a coffee grinder?

Any recommendations?

Why would you think you need a coffee grinder to get a
caffeine fix?

What is the best way to extract the most caffeine when making coffee?

a wild guess would be
to grind your beans as fine as possible,
and run the hot water over the ground beans [at least] twice...?

but what's your point?
what are you trying to accomplish
by trying to get a little more caffeine out of your coffee?

Yes, just grind up the coffee and inject directly into your blood stream.

And no, I'm not serious.

Has anyone tried any of these Proctor Silex coffee grinders?

Just pick one from Amazon with excellent reviews. I've had both burr
and blade type, and didn't see any real difference in grind quality.

Hmph. I thought everybody knew that REAL coffee purists regard the use
of blade grinders as only a smidge above buying canned ground coffee.

I use Jose's coffee from Costco (or whatever is on sale) and buy blade
grinders at yard sales for a buck or so. They last a couple of years
until the switch gives out. I had a burr grinder which got stuck in the
'superfine' setting, was a nuisance to clean, took twice as long, and
the coffee didn't taste any better.

OTOH, I'm not a coffee purist. I tried a Bialetti espresso pot and
didn't think that was anything special either, certainly not worth the
trouble.

Dual purpose, too!

Why not just chew coffee beans?

I smash my coffee beans with a frozen rock on the seventh day of the month when
giant ardvarks are in mating season to get the best flavor.

He didn't say he was a coffee purist. The difference between the cheaper
blade type grinders and the burr type is that with the blade you don't get
uniform size grinds. Some pieces are much larger, others are small. Burr
type produces uniform grinds. I think there have been blind taste tests
that showed the burr type is better. It probably depends on how good the
grinders are too. I'd suspect there is a lot more variation in what comes
out among the blade type than among the burr type.

Do you freeze your beans before grinding?:

Why would anyone want to do that? Unless you are
going to turn your kitchen into a coffee shop there
is no need to do this. Just keep your whole beans
in an airtight container and grind ONLY WHAT YOU WILL
USE IMMEDIATELY.

Recent?? How about a 5 month old article. But soooooooo glad you rushed in
with a reply to an almost four (4) year old question. I'm going to make a
wild guess that you've already bought a grinder but good job answering
yourself.
