will this grinder work with oily beans?

Yes. Washed or dry/natural too. Of course as with any grinder, if the bean is "oily or wet," the grinds tend to stick to things. So you may need to tap the glass jar or the grinder just a little to dislodge them.

Not sure. My grinder just got clogged last week for the first time, but I think it was because of moist beans while on espresso mode. We keep our beans frozen, and I think the beans got damp from condensation. I tossed the beans and I've had no trouble since.

Yes, it will work. Any finely ground beans will leave some residual ground inside the grinder, however. Oilly beans may be less likely to build up static in the glass receptacle.

The C5 can certainly grind them, but because they tend to stick together more you have to stir the beans up a little more often. Otherwise you get the 'need to add beans' message. Because the C5 feeds the beans from the side, with a very small area for the gravity feed above the grinder, they tend to stick together because there is not a heavy weight of beans on top pushing into the grinder. I have to push them over to the top of the grinder feeder once or twice a week with my finger even when not using oily beans and it's not a major inconvenience.

As long as the threaded shaft is the same I would think that this pad will work on your grinder. You should also check the rpm's of your grinder. This pad works best at a no load of 10,000 rpm's. Hope this helps.

I think that YES. It will work.I bought it to use with Electric grinder with 200-watt motor, and it work perfect.

I have no idea. SorryI asked my husband and he said probably not. This is a great grinder though!!

Well I am not sure what your machine requires. Some machines do not recommend using oily beans. That is all I can think of. Besides that, it is all about your taste.

Yes. I love my Capresso grinder. Though, I usually use it for my coffee press, I have used the fine grind and it works well.

Sorry I have only ever used it for coffee beans but I am pretty sure it would work well.

These beans are very oily. We grind them pretty fine and use them in a Mr Coffee machine.

I'm not sure...the instructions say to only use dry things like wheat berries. I bought a cheap coffee bean grinder and use that to grind flax seeds. It would probably work for herbs too. Plus usually you would be grinding a small amount of herbs, not really enough to justify pulling the Blendtec out and cleaning it after. Unless of course you are "in the business" and need a whole lot. ;)

I use it only for coffee beans. Works fine but you have to judge how long to grind. My previous coffee grinder had automatic gring setting from course to fine. That is my only complaint

Though this machine has a "special adaptor" for oily beans, it can still clog up the works (like with most auto machines). I typically go to the local coffee shop and get a 50/50 blend of their house expresso (oily) and mix it with a full taste drier bean. Also, you can set the grind to a more courser grind (opens up the grinding head a little bit more). Finally, you can take the drip tray cover with a torx screw driver and, carefully, loosen older stuck ground coffee using a bamboo stick.

You should not grind things that have a high oil content. You should not grind herbs, spices or coffee with this device.

No. Not designed for it. It might possibly work but the ground coffee would probably not feed efficiently thru the grinder.

Although I have ground only coffee beans in mine, it seems that any bean that is dry could be ground in this. Due to the price of this grinder however, I would check with the manufacturer first just to be on the safe side.

I use mine strictly for coffee beans. I read in other reviews that people had problems with clogging while grinding grain. My beans are very oily, but have yet to have an issue with clogging.

You won't be able to use this with soy beans. Soy beans are oily and the oil will cause the grinder to clog. The instructions also mention this if you are able to access the instructions online.
