does it work well for grindings nuts

Sorry I have only ever used it for coffee beans but I am pretty sure it would work well.

Yes, but its kinda like building another Shakey's out of stem-cells. You could do it, but you'd probably be better off using lumber.

Burr grinders are specifically designed for espresso. They can and will make grinds that are more course but you can buy a much cheaper machine to achieve that result.

This would be a pretty expensive nut grinder. The Gaggia grinder is designed to grind coffee beans into a pretty consistent powder for use in an espresso machine. There are far better devices for grinding nuts, like food processors, which cost less and have other functions. If you are not using the Gaggia in conjunction with a espresso maker like a Gaggia, then this grinder is really not what you need.

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.

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 really wouldn't know, I only use it for my weed lol. It grinds marijuana super fine but I'm not sure how well it would work on nuts.

I only have used this grinder on almonds. It is very easy to clean if you do it immediately. Hot, soapy water does the trick. The outer surface is not as shiny as when new, but a metal polish may fix that. Be careful that the glass jar does not become unattached during use. Just carry by the bottom. Enjoy!

Yes, it does a good job, but make sure that you keep an eye on how fine you wish to chop/grind them! It's a personal choice. Hope this helps.

In general, no. You need the Wonder Junior to do a good job with nuts and seeds. However, there are a select few things like this it can grind. To answer your specific question, though, it CANNOT grind almond nuts, and it will VOID the warranty if you attempt it. Please contact us for more information on this mill or the Wonder Junior (its hand operated sister unit). We also sell other machines that would do the job very well.

I own this unit and use it for a variety of things, including nuts. I've used it for almonds, however I don't feel it grinds as fine as the end result of a store-bought almond flour. To ensure freshness I use a spice grinder for my flax seeds; the amount I choose to grind is too little for such a big machine. That being noted, I believe the Braun would do a fine job pulverizing a large amount of flax seeds. I hope this helps!

I only used it for grinding small amounts but I found it did a great job. It comes apart easy for cleaning and did not find it hard to clean.

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

I purchased this attachment for that purpose, and I DON'T RECOMMEND IT! We are a family of Celic Disease sufferers, so in order to cut costs on grains/flours, I buy many items in bulk and grind them. This thing will NOT work for that. Nor will it work for nuts. The grain/nut paste gets caught in the grinder and cannot push it through the faceplate quickly enough. It ends up pushing the plastic ring casing off its mount and can even snap it. I worried it was also going to burn out the motor. It's really just a disaster.If you are interested in grinding those items, I REALLY recommend investing in a good burr grinder. I have had the best luck with them in grinding grain.

We like a fine grind on our coffee and it does a great job of that. We haven't tried any kind of nuts in it but I suppose it would probably work.

Probably, although I haven't had occasion to use it for nuts. Have mostly used it for parsley, onions, carrots, other veggies.

This machine is made specially for walnuts. It is not suitable for harder nuts

Yes, This works great on removing wheel nuts. Also I used it to remove the wheel nuts on my old ford tractor. It has lots of power and gets the job done.

Yes. We use it for grinding coffee, cardamom, clove and other crunchy spices. Almonds should be no problem. It has two different grinding cups with different blades for different grinding jobs.
