<p>With a blade grinder, yes.  They already just chop the pieces smaller and smaller until you stop, anyway.  With a burr grinder, it may be.  But I make no promises that it won't clog the feeder.  It's possible that the inflow may be greater than it can handle.</p>

<p>Is it possible to regrind beans?</p>

Is it possible to regrind beans?

I have about half a bag of very nice coffee in a semi-coarse grind, and I want to use a brew method (Melitta cone) that's more appropriate for a medium-coarse grind.
