Spice grinder
 
Anyone have some suggestions on a good spice grinder?

Thanks,

I use a dedicated coffee grinder. Clean it with minute rice, a little trick Ronelle clued me onto.

Nice tip!

My mother in law just bought me a coffee grinder because she heard me say I wanted to grind my own spices.

coffee grinder dedicated to spices only.

I use a cheap burr grinder, normally it would be used for coffee. I prefer the burr grinder for pepper and other small seeds. It is not so good for oily spices, such as canela or annato, as the burrs will gunk up. For those, I use a cheap whirly blade grinder, then mortar and pestle.

On a different note ... The coffee grinders work but the have their limitations.
These days I'm using a Cuisinart Mini-Prep.

Back when I did larger quantities I used to use an Indian grinder that really kicked butt.
search for Sumeet or Preethi on Amazon.

The ninja works great. There is a flat blade attachment that is really good. Nice for dusting your product prior to serving!

The krups is durable especially the cutter. Really helpful

I have a kitchen aid coffee/spice grinder. It is very nice, has removeable stainless bowls, that make it easy to clean. Only down side, is that the lids for the bowls will pop off, if you fill them too full. Other than that it grinds very consistently.

I also have a Mr. Coffee burr grinder that works very well for larger amounts of spices.
Works very well for making your own rubs, and spice mixes. I am not a commercial cook, but I do grind all of my own spices, and both of these have been in duty for several years without any issues.

I have used many coffee grinders over the years, and even the $10 cheapos, do a pretty good job of grinding. Only problem I have had, is durability. One word of caution, if you grind a lot of cloves, you want something with a metal bowl. The oils in the clove, will deteriorate plastic pretty quickly.

I am considering about trying more different grinders besides my 5-year-old Krups, the Mr.coffee could be in my list, thanks a lot.
