Do you turn these over to grind? I am looking for some that come out the top, because the ones on the bottom always leak onto the counter or table.

I returned the ones I ordered because they did not grind at all. Perhaps broken. Perhaps just not well made.
1080486
Yes, you turn them upside down to grind. And they have nice little plastic covers on the top to keep out moisture.
1080487
Yes you turn them over. They come with a plastic top which you remove.Great grinders, use them every day.
1080488
Yes, and we had the same problem with our other grinder. There is a plastic top that you cannot see in the picture that covers the top. You remove the top and turn it over to dispense.

Yes, you turn them over to grind, the glass ball is the holding jar and is flipped over to grind. There are lids on the top that you have to remove to grind directly onto the food. I leave mine lidded when not in use, especially the salt so that it stays dry.

I grind as I go. I don't think I can get all out of them unless I grind them.They are hard and could hurt dental work!

Yes but I would not buy them again...had troubles with leaks from bottom. Might have been user error since you have to screw on bottom tightly.

They screw off. Someone in the reviews said they leak. I have not had that problem.Some weeks later -- yes, I am finding they do leak a bit. I wrap the jars in a paper towel when I take them with me now.Another update: they don't leak if you make a thicker yogurt, using powdered milk along with the regular milk! If your yogurt is thinner and has that layer of whey on top, then they do leak.

Great question, why yes they do! I tried 2 (out of three) and both leaked. Turn them on the side or upside down, I had leaks from the connection of the sprayer to the screw on cap. Unfortunately, it can't be remedied. They mist well, but if you want to store liquid, probably not a great idea. Good value. but you get what you pay for sometimes.

Yes, spices "leak" under the blades and into the main body of the grinder when in use.

When this happen to me I replaced them with these from Amazon. I dump out the grinds then rinse them very well after each use. This seems to help at least in my case. I have found that if you let the grinds sit in the filter until the next day it is much harder to get the filter clean.

I think they are meant to be used wet, so if your grinder has water feed than I suppose they will work. Also need a hook and loop backing pad.

I have had two for years with no leaking, but they are not used on a regular basis. I did always store them flat. Perhaps they don't make them as well anymore?

There is a knob on the bottom (top in this picture) that will tighten or loosen to change the grind. Honest these are pretty nice to use on a daily basis.

I use the standard grind that comes in packages of Starbucks bags at the grocery store. In other words I used a flat bottom drip grind for standard coffee makers. I also filled my reusable pods to the top, but just eyeballed it. It was slightly less strong than if I had had it drip, but the good flavor made up for that. Good luck.

I do. Top rack. I have even added them to boiling soup to help cool. They do wear down so squeeze them to check for leaks.

Yep, I just got these and they leak all over the place when not upright. Going to try jtrumpio's solution.

Hi Zan,Hi Zan, I replaced two receptacles on my burr coffee grinder, as of recently it seems that it has gotten hard to find the replacements so I'll tell you what I did I'm a outside the box thinker. I had a small pottery bowl that fit perfectly under the grinding mechanism and it is wide at the top so that the coffee doesn't fly out and that's what I've been using for the past nine months. Good Luck ;-)

Pull up on the top lid. Then lift off the little clear plastic piece (don't throw it away). Then pull off the bottom black piece and set it on top with the open part over the side you want to fill. After filling, replace all of the pieces to where they came from. When using the grinder, you need to have the bottom piece off but leaving it on for storage prevents spillage.

I first tried laying them down, and as they froze the top popped off of a few and they leaked. I should not have tried this on the top shelf. I thought maybe they were too full, so I left a lot more space at the top. They still leaked. Now I put them in a wide plastic tumbler that fits nicely in the door of the freezer so that they are upright and that works well. That said, most of them will not leak on their sides, and once frozen you can store them in any position.

I just keep flipping them over when there's gunk in them. They work either way! Especially useful instead of the strainers that come with the sink- that are always blocking the drain. You end up just taking them out and not using anything- bad for the drain! Love these things! Even give them as stocking stuffers.
