CuisinartElectric Spice Grinder Coffee Grinder, Nut Grinder, Seed Grinder for Kitchen, Wet & Dry Electric, Easy to Use Dual Stainless Steel Bowls with Storage Lids Dishwasher Safe

Utterly brilliant and ten times better than one I bought a few months ago. You can clean this one! Spare grinder bowl with useful lid. Just perfect.

Very good product

I had initially given one star as this is my second one and the grinding bowl broke after one year. I emailed the customer service and got no response. But they did respond and immediately sent a replacement bowl as it was in guarantee and extended the guarantee as well. So that was good. Hence I have changed my review as it works as I intended but as with these small grinders, you do have to be careful.

Absolutely love this little grinder! It’s permanently on my side because I grind my pepper corns in it as well as tons of fresh spices. So powerful and much fresher tastier food too.

This grinder is exactly what I needed for grinding my spices to make garam masala. I now use it to make freshly ground black pepper, cumin powder, etc. Wouldn’t be without it!

Purchased in Feb 25 and by early May had broken. Possibly 10 uses . May be ok on coffee but not strong enough to use for nuts and seeds.

Further to my previous review of this product, the problem appears to have resolved itself (perhaps I've learned to use the machine better?). There is no longer a fine dust of ground material escaping the grinding bowl. I am now very pleased with the way the machine is operating.

The Cuisinart line of kitchen products have never let me gown. The Mini-Mate grinder I've owned for at least 20 years now and still is going strong. But since I bought it in the US and now live in the UK, I decided to buy a grinder here eliminating the voltage converter I had to use. Well this Spice & Nut Grinder has so far has proven to be as good as the original Mini-Mate. I put it through some torture in the week I've had it. I grow my herbs all summer to harvest and put away for winter. For several days I have been grinding basil, oregano, tarragon, coriander, cilantro, marjoram, etc. Rosemary ground down slightly so it is more friendly in food instead of twigs. Gave it a go around with whole cloves. Cardamom had its turn. While none of this spice grinders have a large capacity - which is good as you are able to control the degree to which you want things ground down [you don't want to powder everything] - it is fast so capacity is not a problem. Unlike the Mini-Mate where the top can't be cleaned efficiently because it is the motor, this Spice & Nut Grinder has the motor in the base, so everything that comes in contact with the food can be efficiently cleaned. It is also easy to operate by just pushing the lid down - which requires very little pressure. The unit will not operate if everything is not correctly locked in. For those that complain about a motor burnout, this is a small unit designed to grind as needed. It is not commercial grade, and not meant to be run consistently non-stop. Used mine for about an hour with no problem. Also, taking the lid off as soon you finishing grinding will create a suction as the items are turned inside as they are grinding. Lifting that lid before they settle [about a second] will have some things flying out. This is a kitchen must. Having read other reviews - I will update mine as time goes on to see if the complains are an inherent problem with this model.
