    Can I make coffee in a blender?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can. To do it, set up your blender right next to the coffee machine. Once it's done brewing, pour 2 cups of coffee into your blender jar. Then, mix in a few tablespoons of coconut milk, cocoa and some sugar. Blend when ready for a frothy, creamy coffee drink that blows a cup of black java out of the water.
