Guys if your like me it sucks trying to grind this shit up. But now there is a quick and simple solution which I found totally by accident. Kroger sell a coffe grinder for $9.95. (no it's not a typo). This grinder rocks. My first experience with it turned my shit to dust in like 5 seconds. After experimenting with it a little, you get the perfect mixture everytime. No more sticky fingers and this grinder seems really heavy duty as it was designed to grind up coffee beans. Take $10.00 and go buy a toastmaster coffee grinder at Krogers and it will be the best investment you have ever made. I love mine.
