Silent Vortex Electric Grinder GX332B50

Same. I had been using a mortar and pestle for finer grinds and an old Krups bladed coffee “grinder” but other things, but honestly they are as bad at that as they are for coffee. My gf bought me a manual conical burr grinder to use for spices and it’s amazing - consistent grind at any size.

Whole beans and a real grinder (Krups at my house) made my Mr. Coffee taste better than a $5.00 cup at the specialty shop. I have an undercounter filter to make sure my H2O is worthy, too.

I get the Krupps grinders cheap at goodwills. I have several, some spice profiles affect the flavors of others. Specifically I don’t like cinnamon or cloves in some combinations unless called for. I make a lot of Mexican foods and I want to have control of the flavors. Mostly just chilies, cumin and coriander in one and everything else in the other one. You can wipe out single one and then grind some rice in it to clear the “grinder”.

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.

Krups coffee grinder for the win! But only for common dry spices, no ganthoda roots! (Easist way to ruin the coffee grinder. Something like a Nutribullet could work for pastes.

+1 not sure how old mine is exactly but several decades at this point. Still gets the job done.
