If one grinds a spice, cleans with the brush and then grinds a second totally different spice, is there any cross flavoring in the second spice?

Not if properly cleaned. The "bowl" is stainless and won't easily retain detritus.

I use mine for two different types of peppercorn - one side black and the other side pink and have had no problem with the two mixing but salt may be a different story. Perhaps the other reviewers are not grinding in one direction? If you try and go back and forth the items will mix but if you grind strictly clockwise or counter-clockwise you should be fine.

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.

sorry I can not help you with this. I just know I have bought Tone spices for years and have been happy with them all...The price is great on larger Tone containers of spices and I use it all the time. You could look up the difference in all cinnamons and then it would be debatable which is really the best and quality for the money.

I don't think so, I've had both and its not similar. This is a creamy tomato based sauce that has curry for spice, it is wonderfully spicy, just right, not too much. Gives you the tongue tingles, but we have really grown to love it. We moved from a very large urban city to a very small rural area and miss our tastes from other cultures. This is now a staple in our home, and both my children cook it in their homes as well.

I like it but, I take mine to almost fine, so not sure it can be controlled, to do coarse or fine, it does not have an adjustment on it. But, it does grind it very well, and came with 2 extra cups to interchange, spices, herbs?

I haven't used this one for grinding spices but I do have a Krups that I use and it works great. I don't see why this one wouldn't work.

I don't think coffee burr grinders are good for spices, for a couple of reasons. First, spices need to be ground much, much finer than coffee. Second, there's no easy way to clean the oils from one spice out of the grinder before doing a different spice. I think a spinning blade grinder is much more appropriate for spices. Or get a burr grinder that is made for spices (ie, a pepper mill), which has a finer burr.

I have not tried it on spices but I've thought about it. My guess is it would work fine as long as the material you are grinding is not much larger than a coffee bean. Coffee beans feed easily into the grinder and the mechanism pulls the beans down evenly so the grinding action is very smooth on coffee beans.

We have had it for about an year use it occasionally but they are working fine. You would need to wash it after use or they tend to accumulate the color of the content. We generally grind spices

I guess you could, although the salt grinder is for grinding salt, so it might grind the pepper different. Actually, I would stick to having one pepper and one salt in the same container.

yes you can use any spices you want. we bought some at Krogers and used some we made ourselves and it worked just fine

I bought two. A white one for spices, and a black one for coffee. I did not want my coffee tasting like sage or coriander either.

Hi Mary....In answer to your question, yes both the salt and pepper grinder have an adjustment on the bottom of each mill. Just turn the knob to the plus or minus clearly marked on the bottom to have a finer or coarser grind. You will love these but make sure you use new batteries. Each one takes four. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Sandy

No, I bought two of the same thing and put salt in one, and pepper in the other.

No. It is like course pepper grind. I use it on almost everything. Cereal, yogurt, sprinkle over dinner, add to pancake mix, and anywhere else. It doesn't change any flavors, just gives you good nutrition.

Not at all. You just need to be careful when you fill the grinder. Once it is filled they can't get mixed inside the container. I have had my grinder now for months and love it!
