Grinding beans is a personal preference job. The finer the grind, the stronger the flavor. You get more surface area contact with the water. Pulse, don't just hold it on. Pulsing prevents heating up the beans and making the oils bitter.

I have 3-year-old Kitchenaid Blender, model KSB1575CCUO. The motor started occasionally making a grinding sound, especially on high speeds, but blades still turn. Does the motor need oiling?
it could be failing bushes for the motor
take it to an appliance repair shop for an inspection of the motor to check for bush/bearing problems

Failure of grinding, blending, or mixing kitchen appliances
Generally, a blade or grinding or blending/mixing part that is permanently attached to a metal shaft from the appliance motor is held on that shaft by a 'shear pin'. This pin breaks when something is put in the appliance that the grinder, mixer, blender can't gring, mix, or blend. This is to protect the motor from overload. Afterwards, The motor will continue to turn, but the blade or paddle, or whatever will not turn.
The shear pin needs to be replaced.
The shear pin passes through one side of the base of the bade/grinder/paddle assembly, through the motor shaft, and out the other side of the blade/grinder/paddle.
The piece of the pin must be removed from the shaft, and from the two sides of the blending/grinding part. This is generally a press-fit, and some effort may be required to accomplish this.
When the pieces have been removed, a common 'roll pin' of the appropriate diameter should be inserted to hol the turning part on the shaft. It must fit tightly, and some effort should be required to insert the new pin.

Cuisinart stand mixer making grinding noise. What is it and are there directions for fixing/replacing it?
inside those mixtures there is grease or oil to keep the gears running smoothly. look on your counter or where it is stored and look for grease or oil. if there is then your best bet is to find a repair shop. ask where you got it from, they should be able to hlp.

The blender has a film on it, it's not clear anymore like the dry blender
Depending on what you are blending, the glass can become scratched. Nut shells, coffee beans, some grains will scratch glass and make it look like a film.

Otherwise, it it is a film, you can try soaking it in ammonia if it is soap **** (from low-priced or "natural" soaps used in hard water.

Or soak in vinegar if it is lime from hard water (usually from letting it air dry after washing and rinsing well). Try rinsing in cold water after the hot water rinse to prevent water spots.

When I make a frappacino I get lots of foam instead a slushie drink
You're blending at a high speed and air is getting introduced. Try a slow blend speed. This should solve your issue.

GE single serve blender 898679--need replacement plastic gasket for grinding jar. I am told by Walmart, where I purchased it, that I need to return it. I don't want to return it. The blade chewed up the...
I had the same issue. i took the gasket from the other blade to use with the blade i use everyday. one trick is, don't remove that gasket to clean it but make sure it stays in there. Just soak it and scrub it good, to make sure it stays seated in there.

If the gasket comes loose while you are grinding, the lid will come loose in the base and sometimes causes you to not be able to get the jar from the base. you have to turn the jar the opposite direction to get the lid to tighten up, then you can remove the jar from the base.

I am trying to get replacement jars since those plastic nobbies that run the blender have broken off. It is down to one of 3 nobbies, so it can't be run anymore. I mght just have to buy a brand new blender but it seems so wasteful.

I was grinding rice......after that fumes came out and its not working now
Hi,
The motor has burnt up... you will need to replace the blender.
There is an old saying that motors run on smoke...once the smoke comes out of the motor the motor will no longer run... :-)
