Will this also grind cinnamon sticks and nutmeg?

probably not; it wouldn't fit anything larger than a soybean or corn kernel. Unless you chop the cinnamon or nutmeg seeds into small uniform pieces, they wouldn't fit between the plates. The mill can however grind anything of that hardness.

I haven't tried it with nuts or grains. I mostly used it to grind up cinnamon so far. But it should grind nuts.

its not really that kind of grinder, its mostly for tobacco products. However if you first cut the cinnamon into short sections I would imagine it could work. that said its it intended mostly as a smoker's accessory for those of us who like to roll our own blends. hope this helps!

although I haven't tried it yet, I did do a lot of reading before I purchased it. It should grind nuts, grains, and dried beans. We purchased it for emergency use. I own an electric wheat grinder.

Yes. The product will work just fine for coffee bean grinding. I use it to produce snus which is a powdered form of tobacco dip. In fact, you can use it to produce cayenne pepper power, etc. as well.

I haven't tried it with nuts but it could grind pepper to a fine powder with no problem at all.Your only concern is that when you grind nuts too much there comes a point were it turns into paste because of the natural oils like in peanut butte

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.

It will work fine as a spice grinder as long as you don't try to grind hard spices such as nutmeg or cinnamon. The top half of the grinding bowl is plastic and will break.

Yes i have used it for grinding sesame, nutmeg, cinnamon, red whole chillies, coriander seeds, cashews etc. Grinds all of them to fine powder. Though I have never ground walnuts, I believe that the grinder will be able grind walnuts too.

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

Sandra yes it can. I use for grinding mixed nuts that I keep in the firdge and add a tablespoon to my breakfast shake each morning. It is one of the best units I have found so far. Blades are very sharpe and the white blade unit pulls up and out for cleaning. It is not quite as fine as a hand grinder but I love it and use each week. M

Yes..you certainly could! It might be a bit tricky like you'll have to cut the cinnamon sticks in pieces first THEN grind it, same as the cloves. The teeth of this grinder is extremely sharp so i warn anyone using this grinder on not throwing caution to the wind..it could cut you without you even knowing it so be very careful using this. Other than that it's a superb and finely made grinder. I have used mine for many things including herbs like thyme and rosemary, whole peppercorns and big seeds. A highly recommended product and you cannot possibly go wrong getting this for yourself for it comes in handy. I hope I answered your question. :) Yes..you certainly could!

Although I love my mini processor I don't know if it would grind into powder. You might try a coffee bean grinder. I use that for my fresh nutmeg and the like.

while you probably could use this to grind spices it would be very difficult for you to clean making it not that useful for spices. I'm not sure you could grind cinnamon sticks in it at all

I would think so, though I can't see a definte "YES!". But I have heard of all kinds of spices and herbs and things being grind with this mill...!

i have found this to grind anything larger i tried cardamon and they either fell through or went up the shaft of the handle.its hollow. its perfect for nutmeg.
