KRUPS - Silent Vortex Electric Grinder GX332B50

Know of a manual grinder that friend has had years, but dunno brand. Have used my Krupp electric for 40 years, and also regularly used for other things. Can use a French press,or reusable gold filter if you don't like paper filters. I do cold brew now, still need to filter, but no machine necessary and I prefer it cold when it's hot outside. Mortar and pestle sounds like a chore.

This looks just like the Krups that I have. Perhaps rebranded? Lousy for coffee, but perfect for peppercorns when making bacon. I've had mine for decades, and bought it in a yard sale.

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 have a 20-yr old Krups grinder

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.
