It does a very good job for what it is created to do and that is grind seeds

It looks good and seemed like the answer to my need to grind sesame seeds, flaxseed and nuts

I was in a real dilemma for a way to grind flax seeds for a daily protein drink.

Grinds to a fine powder, even the seeds, on the first pass - no need to regrind

I bought it to grind flax seed, but it also grinds other kind of nuts

It died on the first usage - just some fennel seeds and cinnamon

It's a step up for me from a coffee grinder I had been using to grind my flax, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc.

I purchased this for the sole purpose of grinding flax seeds

A couple of times i wet ground poppy seeds (the most difficult task for a spice/coffee grinder) and even made a ginger, garlic, chili paste once

I ground chia seeds in it about 3 times, and cardamom once.

If you don't burn out the motor, the seeds will not grind completely.

The last straw came when I ground my morning flax seed and the motor began to audibly vary its speed until finally a plume of smoke snaked its way out of the power cord hole, an aparent indication that the motor had bid its final farewell and had burned out.

I bought this based on the description that it would grind spices and seeds.

So far, I have used it for grinding flax and other seeds, but I'm sure it will do well for nuts too.

Purchased this primarily to grind flax seeds but it works very well on other whole spices.

I use it to grind chile peppers into chile powder, as well as seeds such as cardomom and cumin

Basically if you are grinding whole cumin you are going to have to grind 3-4 tablespoons whole seed at a time.

I am sorry to say that in March of 2011, it barely ground the seeds.

Halfway through the first use of this product - grinding sunflower seeds per product directions - the motor began to smell like burning plastic and it promptly died.

It did grind flax seeds, but not well

Have used for about 30 years a coffee grinder to grind nuts and seeds

Used this to grind up flax seed and spices to be added to flour for homemade pasta.

It ground flax seed in seconds

In the past we always had trouble grinding spices the way we needed, for use on especially small tough seeds like Coriander

I tried for nearly 10 minutes to grind Chia Seed only to watch it spin around and around in the bowl.

its much better to have a large cup even if you are grinding a smaller seed

I bought a high powered expensive model because I wanted something powerful enough to grind nuts and seeds.

I decided that I would just buy fresh cinnamon in bulk and stick to grinding other nuts and seeds with my spice grinder, and this last model lasted four years.

I bought this small grinder in order to grind up the flax seeds that I use in my oatmeal each morning

All other seeds and spices work without a hitch

I used the grinder once to grind some whole coriander seeds... although the grinding bowl looks large, the max fill line is very small... took me 15 minutes to grind a cup of coriander

I have used it to grind flax and sesame seeds.

I use this all the time to make my chai tea spice blend and grind flax seed

I freeze the seed for several days first so that while grinding, it does not heat

Second time it ground the seeds, though not

With the first Braun, i burnt the motor in the first couple of weeks by foolishly trying to wet grind poppy seeds

I searched everywhere for an appliance that would grind flax seeds.

I do think that this product would probably be good for something like grinding flax seed, although I haven't tried that either

I also grind pomegranate seeds (which are harder than other whole spices)

I purchased this to grind flax seed and other hard seeds for my horses, and so far, it has worked well

I use it primarily to grind whole flax seeds into flax meal (so that it stays fresh and doesn't go bad), grind almonds (for baking into cookies etc.), grinding chocolate bars (for cookies), grinding up oatmeal (in small amounts for baking, otherwise I use the full size Cuisinart food processor), and to make homemade corn meal by grinding popcorn

To grind Flax seed

This gave me ground sesame seeds, and I'm so glad

I love grinding sesame seeds for use in making Tahini paste and Hummus.. isn't noisy, does the job cleanly, and I've got no complaints .. a useful tool for aspiring chefs :-)

In a handful of seconds it grinds flax seeds to absolute perfection

if that is what you need, it won't do that (no way to adjust the grind), but it does seem to be up to the task of grinding really hard seeds, which were too much for my previous coffee grinders

I was happy to receive this product as I wanted to grind sunflower seeds and almond nuts and flax seeds and making my own nut and seed butters.

I have made my own tahini by grinding sesame seeds in it; it grinds up nuts, cookies for garnishes, anything that you want to do in small amounts and don't want to drag out your food processor or do manually with a mortar and pestle!!!

I only use it to grind flax seeds once a week.
