KRUPS - GVX231 Expert Burr Grinder

I picked up an extremely similar Krupps burr grinder at a thrift store a couple years ago for $8. I remembered they were $100 when I was looking at them after I found my first espresso maker which was why I bought an Arcade No.1 hand mill, that I still think produces a grind with more "love" but the Krupps takes up less space and grinds faster lol.

There’s a $40 or so 4 cup Cuisinart food processor that will do these things. It’s a good start. I managed for decades with it instead of a larger one. if I needed more I just did more batches, like for a double pie crust I would do one crust at a time. But you won’t get tiny spices to grind in it, for that you need a $20 Krups coffee grinder. Which would also do the salt. You can make superfine sugar with either of these things but not really confectioner’s sugar which is cheap anyway, just buy the stuff.

I make do with a Krups coffee grinder, terrible for coffee, only good for 2 Tbsp of spices at a time, wet materials seem perilous. But used ones are $10. If you're serious about this, and want the best grinder $50 can offer, I'd look to the [Premier Spice Grinder KM-521](https://www.premierkitchen.in/shop/premier-spice-coffee-grinder/) from India. 400 ml capacity, $40 MSRP in India, can be had for $60 and sometimes less shipped in the US.
