Can this thing be used to grind nuts?(Almond, walnuts, also poppy seeds?) Thanks!!

I ground dried pinto beans as a test and it was no difficulty at all. The grinder will reduce things but stops short just of being a fine powder and more so a fine "grit". As to courser grinds I am not aware of it's capability although I think it should do a satisfactory job.

I bought it to make peanut butter which I was not successful at doing. When I tried to make it I ended up with very small granules of peanuts. I would suggest that you buy a coffee bean grinder.

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.

I do not believe it is fine enough for ground nuts. However, when time permits, I anticipate trying almond milk myself and will keep you in mind.

yes it will grind nuts, be sure to have the plastic lid on since it will grind it as fine as you wish.

I have ground Quinia, Millet, Armiroth (sp), Rice, Flax Seed and other small seeds/grains with my mill. Poppy seeds are tiny black spheres so in my opinion they would grind well but likely slowly. As I am thinking that you would not be grinding a huge amount of Poppy seeds this is likely a good mill for the task as it cleans up so easily. The main problem I see is with OILY seeds such as "sunflower" that do tend to gum up the steel burs.

No, it isn't able to grind, really. It can chop things very small, but really not like almond flour. I get mine from Trader Joe's!

This machine is made specially for walnuts. It is not suitable for harder nuts

This would be a pretty expensive nut grinder. The Gaggia grinder is designed to grind coffee beans into a pretty consistent powder for use in an espresso machine. There are far better devices for grinding nuts, like food processors, which cost less and have other functions. If you are not using the Gaggia in conjunction with a espresso maker like a Gaggia, then this grinder is really not what you need.

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.

It does not do a very good job of grinding large, hard spices such as nutmeg. You would need to break up the nut somewhat to get a fine grind of nutmeg. Nothing works as well as a microplane for nutmeg.

This isn't what you'd use for nuts - this would turn them into mush.This grinder is for meat.

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!

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.

I really wouldn't know, I only use it for my weed lol. It grinds marijuana super fine but I'm not sure how well it would work on nuts.

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.

No, I have only used it for coffee. I think that grinding moist substances, like ginger and garlic, would not work well unless it was fully loaded. I wouldn't do this with my mine.

I have used it to grind cashews to make a cashew-based dip and it worked fine but I have not used it for small seeds so can't tell you about that.
