Equipped with a heavy-duty motor and specially designed stainless-steel blades, this electric grinder quickly and efficiently grinds spices and nuts. A pestle and mortar offers one way to turn thyme into powder, but sometimes it's nice just to get the job done without all the pounding and manual grinding. Simply add the spice to be ground--anything from peppercorns or cloves to flax, fennel, or mustard seeds--close the lid, and press down to start the grinding process. Or add walnuts, pecans, peanuts, or almonds and grind just the right amount of time for the perfect consistency and add to cookies, sweet breads, and other baked goods. The grinder's bowl holds up to 90 grams, and its storage lid allows for extra spices to be stored in the grinding bowl. Other highlights include nonslip rubber feet, a built-in safety interlock that prevents operation unless the lid's securely in place, and a sleek design that will nicely compliment any kitchen decor. For added convenience, the lid and removable stainless-steel bowl clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. An instruction manual with recipes comes included. The grinder measures 5 by 6 by 9 inches and carries an 18-month limited warranty.

Simple to Use, effortless to clean
I bought it specifically for grinding whole flax seed. It grinds it to perfection in seconds. Although I use it for other nuts too, which I am extremely happy with it all. It is a snap to use, and is super super easy to clean, takes up little space on the countertop. Note that not wanting the lid to become foggy (as some plastics do in high heat) I no longer use the drying/heat function on my dishwasher, so after going thru the cycle it comes out like new everytime. If you are the kind of person who likes to have the cords tucked into the appliance then you may be a little disappointed as the cord takes a little fiddling to get it coiled back into the housing unit. In my personal opinion I think this product is superb, and I would not hesitate to recommend it.

Love it!
This spice grinder is exactly what I was looking for. It ground all my spices, even cinnamon and nutmeg, to a fine texture. I have a Cuisinart coffee grinder which I tried to grind spices, but it didn't grind spices as fine as I wanted.
The lid did not "cloud" over like it does with some grinders when you grind some hard stuff in it (cinnamon, nutmeg).

Works Well
I grind spices regularly, especially dried chili's, and found this product well-designed for that task. Easy to use, and easy to clean...
