can this grinder grind spices

Yes, and very well. It's one of the handiest grinders I've owned and you'll find it well worth the price.

I have used it to grind whole peppercorns. Does a decent job. Grind for a few seconds, then check for desired consistency.

I see no reason why not. And the grinding cup and plastic lid are dishwasher safe so you can really clean off residue between foods.

I would not recommend this grinder for spices. I tried grinding spices and the second time I used it it stopped working completely and I sent it back for a refund.

I purchased this for this purpose as a gift to my aunt. I didn't use it myself.

I haven't used it for anything except pepper. But, this seems to be a fairly good quality grinder and the size of the grind can be adjusted which might be useful for different types of spices.

I have no idea. SorryI asked my husband and he said probably not. This is a great grinder though!!

This grinder has one speed and has no settings for coarse or fine etc. You control how fine something is ground by varying the grind time... or by pulsing the button manually. It's a good sturdy grinder and would likely grind up any spices that you might want to put in it though.

This is a true coffee grinder not the chopper type which could be used for herbs spices etc. I would put nothing in this mill other than coffee. For coffee it is excellent

No, but parts of the spices that are ground more to a fine powder get blown out of the bowl and in between the bowl and the cover, even when using the separate spice grinding cover. Honestly this grinder makes a mess with spices and I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Without a problem. I use it to grind all of my spices, even hard to grind seeds like flax seed and chia seeds. It really handles everything I have put in it- including peppercorns!

I have only used it for salt and pepper, but can't see why you can't used other spices. The grinding heads are ceramic and adjustable to grind size. I don't know how much it holds, at a guess around 3 to 4 tablespoons.

Ive used it for seeds ... not the cinnamon maybe if you broke them up so not as long. I tend to use grinders for pepper and use coffee mills Not the burr type or mortar for the rest of my spices so they can be more cleaned up . Which would be almost impossible with this grinder.

The inside of the bowl might show some very shallow circular lines from the manufacturing process, however they polish out fairly quickly with use. Before I bought it, one of the reviewers mentioned using a bit of sandpaper to smooth it out.It will grind anything, I love it. My sister has one too, and uses it to grind all manner of spices.

The answer is "YES", using the espresso setting. I would not recommend using the same grinder for both coffee AND spices, as the different flavors may have an unpleasant effect on one another.

Hi - Yes, I would say you can grind those items. There is a little black nozzle at the top of the grinder which allows you to grind coarse or fine. Hope that helps. It's a great grinder and I am hoping to order a few more soon. I like to have them for different sorts of salts and peppers.

Yes. We use it for grinding coffee, cardamom, clove and other crunchy spices. Almonds should be no problem. It has two different grinding cups with different blades for different grinding jobs.

Yes, though the container is small. And of course if you use the same grinder for coffee or spices t will pick up the odors.

It produces fairly finely ground pepper, like any other typical pepper mill. There is no way that I'm aware of to adjust the grind. For your purpose, you may want to purchase an inexpensive coffee grinder and use it exclusively for grinding spices and herbs.

I'm answering an old question, but yes, it can grind seeds. I made tahini with it the other day -- just sesame seeds and olive oil. It worked very well.

No grinding spices unless they were small and hard (like pepper). Nothing 1 or 2 inches would make it inside the grinding opening. The beans have to make several turns before they drop into the grinding area. Great for coffee beans and it would work for peppercorns but I don't see how it could work for something like cinnamon or nutmeg.
