Hi; is this good to grind flax seeds?

No, Flax seeds are to fine and would slip through the tines without being ground.

Depending on the grains you want to grind, this should work for what you want. I use it to grind various grains for a 10 grain bread which provides a nice crunchy texture and not just for fine flour. You can't use the grinder for oily grains (Hops?) as the oil will clog the grinder.

I've never used it for anything but coffee beans but I imagine you could grind flax seed on a finer setting.

Oh, I'm sure it will. Flax seeds are pretty small, so I am sure it will do a good job.

I would not recommend grinding anything besides coffee beans. Linseed will affect the mechanical components for future grinding of coffee beans along with oil residue. I would recommend the purchase of a separate spice grinder for such purposes.

I have only used it for coffee. (being a coffee snob, I wouldn't ever put anything else in my coffee grinder :-)I do use one of the $10 coffee grinders with the stainless steel blades that spin around. I use it to grind up all sorts of things - spices, flax seeds, nuts. I've used the same one for years - seems to be very durable, and easy to clean.

It will handle a large enough quantity of nuts just fine. It's really not designed to grind smaller amounts. You're better off with a coffee grinder for flax seeds and quantities of nuts and spices up to approx. 2 tablespoons. 1/4 cup may need to be done in 2 batches.

I have no direct knowledge about whether it will grind flax seeds or not... I only use it to chop veg and it does a wonderful job. But, that being said, I have never tried to pulverize any veg items and am assuming that pulverizing is what you may be looking for. If I had some, I would try for you - but I don't! Update: just ground some of my daughter's croutons (on high, PUREE) and it did pretty well... more or less a coarse grind. So, if you are looking to accomplish that plus chop some veg, it's a dandy little device.

Have not used it to grind grain, sorry. But it has done well with all I have used it for.

We grind both flax and sesame seeds in this grinder every day for morning breakfast. It does a great job!

It grinds flax seeds very well, BUT it takes forever to get any amount more than a teaspoon full. A serving of flax seed meal is 2 Tbsp which would require approximately a minute or more of grinding. We use it for peppercorns and use the seldom-used-for-coffee grinder for flax seed.

You can use the milling blade for nuts, flax seed, etc... it grinds it so that it will blend better in smoothies / shakes. I use mine quite often. I also use it to grind coffee beans.

Have never used it for the seeds you have listed, but know it will grind coffee beans up to an almost dust. Have enjoyed it, when I do decided to grind coffee beans.

No, but i've used it to grind flax seeds and it worked like a charm, if that helps any.

Hi Kathryn. I haven't tried grinding flax seeds with mine but I don't see why you couldn't. I would say it's worth a shot.

Yes, but it will grind them very finely. I use it to grind both coffee and flax seed, and it does a fabulous job. For things that I want a courser grind, I usually use a small food processor that I have.

I think the mini seed mill will do coffee but for sure not the large mill. So far I have only used the small grinder for spices. The large mill will only grind dry grain nothing that is wet or oily such as flax seeds or nuts.
