Can we grind flavored whole bean coffee in our grinder?

I don't recommend that with any conical or flat burr grinder. If you like flavoring, I recommend getting a bottle of vanilla flavoring or similar flavoring and adding after brewing your espresso and steaming milk. It's very hard to get rid of residue from flavored beans, which will get an off flavor and make your espresso taste bad over time, even if you run cleaners through the burrs, the flavoring tends to stick to the burrs. Some flavorings can also gum up burrs and wear the motor out faster and create jams.
