piece of junk. broke one month after warranty expired. company offered 10 percent off a model twice as expensive. that was their best. find a different manufacturer.

I wish I could tell you but I can tell you I had one and won't have another. The switch kept failing. Kept getting bound up and was nearly impossible to clean and was impossible to clean completely. We used a dark grind and even that seemed to be too much for it. As well, it was always "warm" to the touch in the am as if it had electricity running through it even when not in use. I complained but got nowhere. With the oil in linseeds I would think you may have a problem but I cannot answer definitively.

not sure... if they aren't harder than a coffee bean, i would think yes... using the turkish setting it gets rather fine..

Sorry, I've never tried anything other than coffee. If linseeds are a similar size and oil content as coffee it seems there wouldn't be a problem.

I would not recommend grinding anything besides coffee beans. Linseed will affect the mechanical components for future grinding of coffee beans along with oil residue. I would recommend the purchase of a separate spice grinder for such purposes.

All the answers below I agree with . I grind flax seeds to put in my protien drinks. The flax seeds ( and whatever I grind including coffee) always result in a smooth consistent grind. This is by far the best grinder out there. The addition of removable cups makes it easy for washing. I have had this unit for a few months now, use it constantly and have had no issues.

No doubt in my mind that it would grind nuts and seeds. The only difficulty that would arise is cleaning if you go from seeds back to coffee.

sorry about not getting back to you sooner. I was going to use this on a cutting board. I still haven't done yet. I'll have to look on the label to see if it has linseed. did you try googleing it?

I use mine for only nuts. It will grind them to any degree of fineness you prefer, including to paste (almost butter) texture. Works best if you don't fill it too full. It's a dandy little appliance and well worth the price.

No. It will only grind the grain. There are no rolling mechanisms to do that. I disagree with Patrick. This is just a grinding mill. It will grind the oat groats but you would probably end up with mush when you cooked the oatmeal.

it would but at such small quantities it would not be practical this grinder is for herbs and spices. there are better larger grinders out there for grinding grains

Unfortunately, I haven't tried flax seeds, but it seems to me that it's a decently "strong" grind and that as long as you can easily pour what you are trying to grind it will do the job. That said, it's not easy to adjust, to me, so it would depend on how fine you want it.

I have no direct knowledge about whether it will grind flax seeds or not... I only use it to chop veg and it does a wonderful job. But, that being said, I have never tried to pulverize any veg items and am assuming that pulverizing is what you may be looking for. If I had some, I would try for you - but I don't! Update: just ground some of my daughter's croutons (on high, PUREE) and it did pretty well... more or less a coarse grind. So, if you are looking to accomplish that plus chop some veg, it's a dandy little device.

Depending on the grains you want to grind, this should work for what you want. I use it to grind various grains for a 10 grain bread which provides a nice crunchy texture and not just for fine flour. You can't use the grinder for oily grains (Hops?) as the oil will clog the grinder.

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

I think it would split the seeds. I tried using it to grind buckwheat: it ground the seeds but only crumbled the hulls. It did not grind the hulls into to powder. This mill has rows of metal grinding teeth just like a metal file. Seed hulls tend to slide between the teeth instead of being ground.

It does a good job on everything I've tried, but I haven't tried flaxseeds. It grinds fine as dust or coarse for pepper.Small and doesn't take a big space for storage. Sorry about not having your answer.

It will not grind anything with moisture, so nuts are not a possibility. It will ruin the grinder

It will grind up flax seeds and chia seeds for me (in my smoothies) - my guess is that you perhaps needed for liquid to allow the blades to spin at their fastest speed and move the berries/seeds completely through the processor's cycle. Try it with more fluid/liquid and see what happens.

I use it to grind flax seeds, and it works great, so since they are generally smaller then rice, I would think it would work just fine for brown rice.

It does a reasonable job of grinding flax seed; however, if you want more than a very small amount you will be twisting it for a long time. It takes a lot of work to produce more than a small amount of ground seed.
