1.Use a mortar and pestle, which is one of the oldest methods of grinding coffee beans. Although it's more difficult to control the size of the grind and develop a uniform texture, there's an advantage in that the flavor is richer because there's less heat and friction produced in this process.
2.Pound your beans with a hammer. Place them in a heavy-duty plastic freezer bag, remove the air, zip it up and place it between two towels. Smash them with your hammer until they're the size you want. Chances are, the size won't be consistent, but the goal is to reduce the surface area of the bean so you can brew the flavor from it.
