If you break it into pieces the size of peppercorns. I think you would want to cinnamon.

You definitely can. Turn the silver knobs clockwise and the grind size will decrease.

No. The instructions say this processor cannot be used to grate cheese or grind coffee.

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, but don't recommend it. The whole purpose of the grind and brew is to have freshly ground beans for the most flavorful coffee.

Good luck getting a cinnamon stick down in there to grind! The grind chamber is small on this model and best used for peppercorns, smallish nutmegs, seeds and such.

I don't think you can. I have had this one for several months now and use it just for coffee beans. I have a second one, over 10 years old that I use for herbs. Both are in excellent condition, the blades work fine.

It could be used to make cinnamon toothpicks. One would need to be careful not to get it on face, eyes. It is very strong and can burn. I would be cautious in handling 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.

I have not used the grinder for spices, just coffee. I wouldn't want to mix any coffee flavor with my spices.

Yeah, you probably could. The top is 1.25-inch thick and on the side it sticks out a little over 1.5-inch, so there should be room to clamp the 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 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...!

As others have said here, for coffee, you can get a course grind by not grinding so long. I use mine for spices and want a very fine grind.

yes. the grinder can be used to grind anything, even dried spices, that is large enough to need grinding. you will have to clean the grinder after each use or before grinding coffee beans, so that your coffee doesn't taste off.

I haven't used this one for grinding spices but I do have a Krups that I use and it works great. I don't see why this one wouldn't work.

Your coffee grinder can be used to grind spices. However, if your coffee grinder is used to grind spices, we do not recommend grinding coffee in the same unit, or vice versa, as residual flavors may affect your coffee or spices.
