Question: Would this work well for spices? Thanks.
Document: I bought this for my husband. It worked great! A lot of manual work. Would definitely recommend to others. Thanks
You'll have to work a little, but the outcome is worth the extra minute that you put into grinding. The actual motion is quite easy and doesn't take very long to make. Clean up is fairly easy as well. I would definitely recommend this unit.
I screw the threaded washer all the way down to where the grinder is locked up, then back up through about 1/2 a turn. That setting seems to work well with my espresso machine.For the money I spent on this, I think I would have preferred to spend a bit more and buy a Zassenhaus grinder.
This worked much better, and i can move both arms at the same time, which lessens the effort that the grinding arm needs to do. I think that having a handle on the jar would have made things a bit more ergonomic since your hand likely wont fit all that well around the jar to hold it steady. I haven't tried this yet, but using a mason jar with a handle might actually work great.
You would be better off just crushing them by hand or using a mortar and pestel to get what you want. It is worth the money and effort for other spices (just with a learning curve on things like the cardamom pods) as long as you are not looking for "cocoa powder" grinds intsead of normal ones.
My favorite thing about this grinder is its size. Travels pretty well. Very washable, so can be used for spices. Attractive enough to leave on the counter by my French press. Works very well.
Grind is better the finer you set it. The coarser you set it, the less precise (probably not the best grinder for press pot coffee, but it would do the job, if you drink it quick and don't mind the sludge).Speaking of grind settings, this is something you'll just have to test and work out for yourself. There is no simple answer to this.
Great travel grinder and occasional home grinder- it is a lot of work for an everyday grinder though... Probably the travel grinder would have been a better purchase for us... Although it's super useful to have, we ran out of ground this morning and I whipped this out and ground some beans!
It takes some real arm work and can be time-consuming,  I do like it with limitations. One problem for me is that I can't adjust the grind. It won't move. I would appreciate any suggestions. How do you loosen the extremely tight grinder arm to make adjustments? Do you use a special tool. Instructions were very limited  Thelma, Cranford NJ.
Hand grinding does take a little while. Very consistent grind which is needed to get good extraction to make good coffee. I decided to try putting my electric drill on the middle screw to see if it would work. Works like a charm. If you do use an electric drill, manually tighten the drill to it (instead of using the drill to do it) because you don't want the burr grinder to go counter clockwise.
Answer: Actually that is the best use! I grind cooking pepper, cinnamon,and nutmeg. The pieces just have to be coffee bean size or smaller.
