[quote=Anonymous]OP you seem fairly reasonable and it is entirely possible that if you went all out to accommodate this your neighbor would complain about something else.

That said, if this is a new neighbor and you will be there for a while investing a little in cordial relations may end up paying off.  Nobody wants to feel angry seeing their neighbors.

I think if grinding the night before (we do that) is similar in taste, it's easy.  Is there somewhere else you can put the blender in your kitchen that would be further from their walls and get a foam mat for it?  Also, 3 minutes seems like a long blend.. the time probably doesn't matter but perhaps you will find that a lower speed will work just as well and make less noise.  I wouldn't go crazy but if your husband is an engineer you could make these little things a fun, jokey project with a sense of humor.

Then you can say you did your best.  If your neighbor is still complaining it is on him, but making a show of not making a gesture if his request is civil might create unneeded bad blood between you. It is totally within your rights of course, but just might not be much to your advantage in the end.
