does this grinder do coarse and fine for spices

Yes. The longer you grind the finer the result. The see-though top will show you the result of your grinding.

I got it to grind cardamom seeds. From other reviews I read before buying this one, this one seem to do the best with such seeds and at a reasonable price.

Yes I course grind pepper and fine grind oregano. You have to keep an eye on the amount of time you grind, there are no settings for course or fine.

The grinder comes with an instruction booklet that gives suggestions on how to control the coarseness or fineness of the grind. It all boils down to how long YOU hold the activation button down on the grinder. David

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.

I have not attempted to use this grinder for cinnamon sticks and unless the cinnamon sticks were reduced to small pieces about the size of pepper corns I can not imagine it working. I use a small coffee grinder for those sort of grindings.

I'm not using this grinder. Switched to a Cuisinart model and this one works very well with all hard nuts and spices

It does well grinding all spices, but roasting flax seeds in a pan prior to grinding them makes a more consistent grind. I will say this is one of the best spice grinders out there, and I have owned a few of them over the years.

If you look at my short vidxeo you will see that it does not give a powder fine grind of pepper. Although you can grind salt (ceramikc mechanism) it is a much harder spice than pepperm The grind will be even coarser.

This grinder produces a coarse grind as is shown in the product photo of ground nutmeg. If you truly need a "dust-like" consistency, such as that of store-bought ground oregano, then I don't think this product will meet your needs.

I used it to grind whole black peppercorns and it worked well. It grinds well, the only thing is that you cannot really adjust the grinder to have fine grind. Hope this helps :)

This was a gift but from what I saw, the grind was pretty coarse. I also think it's adjustable. My son-in-law loved it - laughed every time he used it!

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.

It depends on how fine you want to grind it. The dual blade coarse grinds and I mostly use it for coffee and nuts. I use the four blades for spices when I want something finely ground. I hope this helps.

Quite coarse. Actually at its coarsest setting, it is more like cracked pepper. So for most recipe applications where it calls for coarse ground pepper, I use the next-coarsest setting. It does a very good job of giving a wide range of grinds.

I have never used it for that however it does grinder my coffee beans and pepper corns to a very fine almost powder form, hope this helps

I've only used a few settings in the medium to coarse range and they've been fairly consistent. It does grind a little finer than my old Cuisinart when used on comparable settings.

Yes, it only has one functional setting when grinding. You control coarse to fine by length of time you depress grind switch.

Yes. More so than any other grinder I've used in the past. The grinder performs well and this is not a big issue but you will most likely be cleaning up grinds that cling to the unit after you use it.

I wouldn't recommend using the same grinder for spices and coffee. You may be able to clean this one, but not good enough to switch back and forth from spices to coffee. I wash the removable cup with dish soap and wipe the blade with a damp paper towel.

The grind is pretty fine no matter how coarse you turn the dial to. I'm not really happy with this coffee grinder and wouldn't buy it again.
