I got this the other day to grind the herbs and spices I've been drying from my garden.

Great Spice Grinder, star

The Cuisinart takes alot longer to grind some spices (can take 1-2 minutes for cumin or cardamom), whereas the Mr Coffee ground anything very quickly.

I like the stainless steel canister since I grind Indian spices so it does not get stained.

Add to that the detachable basin for easy clean-up, the cool factor of the on/off mechanism (lightly press down the lid for on and release for off), and the spice oil protection (the clear cover does not contact the spices directly so no clove/allspice/cinnamon stains) and you've got yourself a perfect and flawless spice grinder.

I can grind fresh spices for everyday cooking now.

Most spices last about 6 months after being ground, before loosing their flavor.

Only thing I wish that cover was tight so that spices will not spill out while grinding

In seconds it grinds whole spices to a fine powder

The blades are heavy duty so they don't break when you grind cinnamon sticks and other hard spices.

It is worrisome from a cleaning and operational point of view, as spices can get caught in the hole which makes if hard to clean, you may also lose some spice through the hole, and perhaps this may lead to the early demise of the unit as it could make it difficult for the motor to run smoothly at some point

Also leaks spice out bottom
