    Cuisinart SG-10 Electric Spice-and-Nut Grinder, Stainless/Black

    • I have done different grinds as well, sometimes a course grind and sometimes a fine one, depending on my needs at the time
    • Among other things, I grind a lot of whole almonds and it doe that weil, with NO little pieces in the fine grind.
    • but I have ground lots of spices including cinnamon sticks (fresh ground cinnamon NO comparison btw), pepper corns, allspice, cumin
    • well.. grinding!
    • I have included a picture that shows that there is fine grinds at the bottom with coarser grinds towards the top
    • Spice lovers like myself will be sorely disappointed by a product that teases you with a VERY short life and some nice grinds
    • I will recommend this to everyone who likes to use fresh grind spices.
    • This worked well for flax seeds, making oat flour and grinding cacao nibs, but I mostly wanted it for grinding ceylon cinnamon.
    • Only thing is that the grinding is not the best
    • If you buy one of these grinders, use it only for light duty (e.g. flaxseeds) not for tougher grinding jobs like almonds.
    • The grinder makes a nice fine grind, but the base of the impeller leaks whatever you're grinding, making for a huge mess
    • Tips: Gently shake unit while grinding and tilt it about 45 degrees back and forth while grinding
    • My spices ended up with a very uneven grind.
    • The grind is very fine
    • Really annoying... grinds spices and nuts well, though.
    • Fresh ground black pepper is so much better you will never go back to the bottled/canned stuff and if you use large amounts in recipes this thing is a life saver
    • I love Indian food, but constant takeout is expensive and fresh ground spices completely change the taste
    • /sugars a more fine grind and to mix the rub
    • broke after 2 minutes of use (grinding red peppers
    • It is not too big, so you can do small quantities and you can easily control the grinding so you don't overdo it
    • Great for coarsely grinding herbs.
    • I do pour-over that requires a super-fine grind, and it does just that.
    • Nice large container for the spices to be ground
    • Which is bad if you are grinding espresso beans or things like cinnamon.
    • Also the best way to do fresh ground pepper.
    • BUT -Fine grinds escape the bottom and the sides every time.
    • I make my own BBQ rubs and this is the only way to get enough fresh "ground" pepper.
    • I bought this as a coffee grinder, since I wanted one with a detachable & easily washable grinding compartment.
    • Perfect for dry grinding small quantities
    • Normally the grind is coarse
    • Great for making ginger/garlic paste, for pureeing rehydrated chiles, and other small "wet" grinding that would be awkward to do in a full sized food processor
    • It takes lot of time as well for the coarse the grind as well
    • Most spices last about 6 months after being ground, before loosing their flavor.
    • I have included a picture that shows that there is fine grinds at the bottom with coarser grinds towards the top
    • Beautiful design and excellent grind.
    • Very powerful grind!
    • Overall, I think it would be perfect used for its intended purpose, as there shouldn’t be much dust when grinding nuts, etc.
    • For coarse ground spices like pepper just go in short bursts and gently shake it while grinding
    • This grinder makes a breeze of it, and the stainless steel grinding cup does not retain odor, so I can grind cumin for curry, and then cardamom for cookies without lingering off-tastes.
    • Best for hard nut grinding and more sturdy than regular grinders in market.
    • It's pretty quiet and achieves a good grind in 10-15 seconds.
    • strong but only very small quantity grinding
    • When I was done - instead of smelling the sweet smell of fresh ground spices, all I could smell was the fatiguing motor
    • Cracked the lid after the first use - grinding a handful of chopped walnuts.
    • I really think you will be happy with this unit if you want fresh ground spices for individual meals, grinding youR own blends of spice rubs or making bulk batches of ground spices etc
    • Happy grinding!
    • Just very gentle grinding using the pulse mode
    • I expect that a professional-grade grinder would produce a finer grind with things like coriander, which always has a few larger bits of husk left, but a professional-grade grinder would take up more storage space and cost much, much more than this one
    • I love that the cup is removeable and washable; however, the blade inside is too wobbly to get a fine grind on my spices
    • Have used this for some gentle grinding - coconut and spices for south indian cooking, onion & tomatoes for north indian masalas
    • For coarse ground spices like pepper just go in short bursts and gently shake it while grinding
    • Perfect I dried orange peel and ground it up.
    • I'm hoping Cuisinart will replace it so will update if I hear from them, but really bummed as I liked the grinder for what I was doing
