Question
I want to buy coffee beans in a machine that grinds them on the spot, and I know that the grinder has not been immersed. Is it permissible to ask them to grind for me?
Answer
If it has already been ground, it is certainly permissible to buy, as the food is not prohibited when a non-immersed utensil is used. If it has not been ground initially, one should not ask them to grind for him, but those who are lenient are not protested against, since the utensil is made for commerce, and some say it is not considered a dining utensil.
