13. If you don't have a hammer
then the pillowcase and your feet (with heavy shoes on) should work. You'll crush more at once that way :D

14. I've done it with a blender from time to time
For the same reasons. Don't do more than a half-cup or so at a time and it works well enough.

15. Where did you buy whole beans?
I've never seen a whole-bean retailer who didn't offer the use of a grinder. There is a article somewhere in my house about a coffee addict who awoke to find his electricity out so he ground his coffee with the sole of a dress shoe and brewed it in a French Press with water from the bleed valve on his water heater.

Be happy you are not him.

17. Plastic bag and a rolling pin, 'cause I doubt you got...
Edited on Mon Jun-16-08 03:50 PM by TreasonousBastard
a mortar and pestle.

(If you don't have a rolling pin , a small rock will do.)

18. After coffee grinders age and lose their sex appeal
they become tea bags.

Uh! Oh! Here come the PC Police...
