   The best substitute for traditional granite motor and pestle. Great on wet or dry ingredients. My current one is about 6 years old and still working well. Don’t settle for cheaper grinders or coffee grinder. I used this grinder to hard dried Louisiana shrimp or dried beans. The pictures are my homemade shrimp paste condiment with this grinder. I made batches and mixed everything in a bowl. I hand washed and no shrimp paste smell. I only wish inner lid to avoid flyaway dry ingredients. Sometimes I use shrink-wrap under the lid. This grinder is not suitable to pound featherback fish paste to make fish cakes. Just use dough hooks from hand mixer. I already bought another for backup as I can’t live without this grinder. I do have 2 Asian traditional granite motor and pastal sets but not too good to use on my granite kitchen counter.

   I use this to mix my own herbs it does a great job at grinding them fine to create a fine type powder which I like to use for cooking

   I’ll add my own experiences, but encourage you also to read the reviews left by Sayrah (jan 21, 2023) & Taylor Lee (Nov. 12 2022). They are both 100% correct In no particular order: The grinding blade arrived very loose. This apparently is “normal”, but supposed to snug up when installing the cup into the grinding base. Mine still has a good deal of lateral and vertical play even when installed. This has caused any liquids or oils to leak out into the grinding base. The provided recipes do not seem to be appropriate for the spice mill. I tried making Tahini (a precursor to the Hummus recipe), and there is so much ‘dead space’ beneath the blades that about half of my ingredients were left whole. I had to dig things our and move them around with a chopstick to try and get them incorporated. very inconvenient. The hummus recipe also cannot be right. The grinder has a stated max capacity of 1/4 cup, yet the recipe states add 19oz of chick peas, 2 Tbs of lemon juice, 3 Tbs of Tahini, 1/3 – 1/2 cup of olive oil, plus the spices. It cannot fit. It also said to add the oil through ‘the feed tube’, which is not a part of this device. this recipe must have been copied from a food processor. It’s the only way this makes sense. I gave it a shot to see what would happen and, unsurprisingly, the grinder wasn’t able to mix the full quantity. The motor overheated before it was finished. This might sound like operator error, but it is what the recipe said to do. Other things that need improvement: – In the first day of use, the plastic grinding lid has become pitted from whatever hard spices I’ve ground. How much plastic is making it into my spice mixes? – The plastic lid has 90 degree angles where it fits over the cup. Fine powder gets stuck here and is very difficult to remove – The inside base of the stainless steel grinding is not stainless steel. It has a central cutout where the blade pokes through and that is made of plastic. More places to wear down, shed plastic, and provide crevices for spices to embed. Very disappointed in this grinder. Definitely heed the other 1- and 2-star reviews.

    I received the grinder today and upon unboxing it I noticed that the blade was apparently loose (wobbly and not snug against the cup). The blade unscrews from the cup, so I took it apart to see if there was anything wrong with the way it was assembled. There are two washers and a black rubber gasket used between the blade and the base that the blade screws into, but I hadn’t noticed the configuration these were in when I unscrewed the blade. Nowhere in the manual that comes in the box or online could I find a diagram showing how the blade is intended to be assembled with these washers / gaskets. Unfortunately it took me several tries to figure out the correct assembly, and in the process the grinder chewed up some of the plastic on the gasket and the bottom of the cup, so there is definitely a wrong way to do this. I’m attaching photos of how this should be assembled (as best I can tell), the pieces included in the blade assembly, and some of the damage to the bottom of the cup when not assembled correctly. When assembled correctly, the blade is not snug when the cup is not in the base — it wobbles around if you push on it — but it becomes snug when you lock the cup into the base. Mine is now somewhat damaged but the cup is not leak proof (water will leak through the bottom hole) when not in the base, though I would expect that it should not leak spices much if assembled correctly. Its frustrating that I had to damage the cheap plastic parts of this grinder in order to understand how to operate it and baffling that there are parts included which are clearly intended to be disassembled but with no assembly instructions. Maybe I’ll update my rating in the future but as a first impression the assembly process has been frustrating.

    Recommended by WireCutter. It’s powerful motor mix quick work of finely grinding spices. Plus, will the top and bottom can be taken off and washed in the sink, making it really easy to keep clean.
