Question: Is there a way to grind coffee beans without a coffee bean grinder?

Depends how you intend to brew the coffee....if using a cafetiere/ french press then you need a course grind. Using a blender will give a crap inconsistent blend that will give you a poor coffee as there will be big chunks left, along with various levels of grind including fine powder. If they really are expensive beans - get a decent grinder as your just going to ruin them using a blender.

A stick blender will work ,or an ordinary blender, (with the lid on)

A blender will give you a coarse grind and you may need to sharpen the blades after.

Yup, blender. But if they're hard then they may damage the blades..... Or use a hammer. You just want them mished up.
