Yes, it will. Please find instructions below.

Hot Drink Instructions
Hot drinks such as soups can be prepared in your blender. Since liquids over 100°F (38°C) can scald skin and cause burns and blisters, please take the following precautions:

1. Never look directly into the blender while the motor is running.
2. Always use the rubber lid on top of the container when working with hot liquids. Leave the hole in the cover open to allow for the escape of hot, expanding gases.
3. Blend no more than 8 ounces of hot liquids at a given time.
4. Always start the blender at low speed and increase RPM slowly after careful monitoring.

Ice Drink Instructions
Some of the nicest drinks you can make with your R.P.M. Blender #228 are frozen fruit drinks. Here are the general instructions:

1. Start by adding the liquid first, whether it be milk, juice, or water. Try to always keep the liquid level at the top of the blade.
2. Cover the container securely with the rubber lid with the open hole.
3. Start the motor turning at low speed.
4. Add the ice or frozen fruit piece by piece through hole in the top of the lid.
5. Increase speed gradually as high as necessary to crush the frozen ingredients.
6. Blend for only a short time. Too much blending creates friction that melts the ingredients.
7. Achieve proper milk shake or ice cream consistency by balancing the liquid and frozen ingredients.

   Thick Drink Tamper Instructions
   The tamper is used to stir thick shakes and ice drinks, purée vegetable soups, and maintain circulation by pushing ingredients into the blades and eliminating air pockets. It is designed to prevent any contact with the blades. If circulation stops, angle the tamper to any side of the container and slightly increase the liquid ingredients. Do not use the tamper when the container is more than two-thirds full.

   Grinding Coffee Beans and Nuts
   

Grinding Coffee Beans and Nuts
Your R.P.M. Blender #228 will grind coffee beans, all nuts, and seeds. For small seeds such as sesame or flax (linseed) seeds, add only enough seeds to come up to the blades. Try not to cover the blades. Excessive amounts of small seeds can stress your blender. For coffee beans or large nuts such as cashews, add one cup at a time. Place the fully closed cover on the container and blend at half, then full speed if necessary. Use the resulting grinds and powders in your application or recipe.
