Unless you’re a serious coffee lover, you may not see the point of investing in a coffee grinder.
But not only does grinding fresh beans make for a more robust coffee and pack your cup with extra antioxidants, but that old coffee grinder actually has a few other cool uses. Even if you don’t like java, chances are you like breadcrumbs, powdered sugar and sprinkles. With a coffee grinder, you can make all of them at home.

Here are three unconventional but useful coffee grinder hacks.
Breadcrumbs
Instead of tossing out stale bread, throw it in the coffee grinder and blend. After a few seconds, you’ll have finely milled breadcrumbs that are perfect for frying. Plus, it will stop you from wasting food.
Powdered Sugar
The next time you need powdered sugar for a recipe, you don’t have to hit the grocery store. A coffee grinder can quickly transform granulated sugar into powdered sugar. Just blend in granulated sugar in a coffee grinder. Don’t keep those homemade brownies and donuts waiting.
Sprinkles
Everybody loves sprinkles — and now you can make them out of leftover Skittles in just a few steps. First, place some Skittles in the coffee grinder and blast them. Once ground, mix in a few drops of food coloring. Spread the sprinkles onto a sheet pan and bake at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wait one hour to cool, and you’ve got candy-flavored sprinkles perfect for ice cream, cupcakes and cookies.
