Cuisinart Specialty Appliances Spice and Nut Grinder

This nice compact grinder exceeded expectations with ease of use.

The grinder is better than I expected. I'm very happy with it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality grinder.

It is one of those super machines that does anything you want. Accomplished every task. I had lined up for it to do. It grinded up the germ of the spelt grain the nib for milk choc. in less than 1 min amazing very fine powder. next I want to try dry berries and coconut for my real choc. candy. what a time saver this is going to be I want to try the zest of a lemon when i grate it. this is the maine source that add great flavor and the zest of a orange. this is what makes it possible to make good everything. crackers candy and good drinks good bake goods it just takes a little not a whole lot

Highly impressed with this grinder! It's super powerful, easy to clean, and handles hard spices like a breeze. The removable stainless steel bowl is a total game-change. The only thing that would make it absolutely perfect is if it came with a small cleaning brush to sweep out fine powder. Still, a fantastic purchase and highly recommended!

I really do love this. I put some hazelnuts and flax seed, press down for literally just a few seconds and it's ground down perfectly- I love to add this to my morning yogurt or hot steel cut oats. I just made almond olive oil cookies and ground some fennel seeds in the grinder which I added to the cookie dough. It's just a few presses and la voila! It's super easy to clean as the cup detaches from the base. I can't believe I waited this long to purchase this.

I am someone who uses spice grinders almost every day -for both my culinary school and personal cooking.. so believe me when I say I am thoroughly impressed with this cuisinart spice grinder. Whether is grinding hard cinnamon bark to fine dust, or pulsing nuts to the perfect rough crumb - this pocket rocket does it all! The compact size also makes it easy to store - and light weight for less pressure on wrists. A quality cuisinart product all around - HIGHLY recommend !

Easily grinds harder spices (salts and peppercorn) and softer spices (bay leaves) to your desired consistency. Made a homemade “Old Bay” mixture from my existing spices using this great machine!

This grinder was very easy to set up and grinded items in less than 10 seconds. I used it to grind herbs like Star Anise and Elderberry for a tea I was making.

This nut and spice grinder overall works really well, but has some issues. The worst is the grinding cup got stuck and you couldn't remove it from the base, for no obvious reason. Freezing it somehow got that part released and it works well again. But even if you do small amounts of spices or nuts, only briefing grinding them, dust from them seems to get near the base under the grinding cup ~ how??? It's hard to clean up. Then there is some rubber gasket that doesn't seem to fit anywhere. Yet, I have ground individual and mixed spices or nuts, not overloading it & grinding briefly, and gotten just what I was after. So its almost perfect.

I have bought this mixer twice and the rubber quality used is very bad. The machine works but the quality of rubber is the qorat I have seen and so it gets worn out very quickly. I wish they could change that part and then the whole machine will be usable.
