Default Re: Native Speaker Errors

I said one yesterday in front of another teacher during a coffee presentation with Nescafe. I was chatting to some groups and joined a group with the co-teacher and some Korean adults asked us if we had instant coffee in the UK. I naturally said;

"We have grinded coffee in England".

My co-teacher burst out laughing. I had to check the dictionary to check that verb didn't exist.
