What is the grinding mechanism made of? Ceramic? Stainless?

The actual mechanism is made of ceramic, all around it is stainless steel. It's a great product and very high quality. Remember, we have a 100% money back guarantee if your not happy so buy with confidence!

I looked the grinder over thoroughly and found no markings to identify the manufacturer. This leads me to believe the thing is made in China or Mexico. The overall quality of the casting is average to below average, so the longevity of this unit is in question as far as I am concerned.

all stainless. It is a wonderful grinder.....we use it frequently. We cook for our dogs....foster dogs.....and ourselves.....so we grind a lot of meat.

It's about the same as hand grinding pepper. The actual mechanism doesn't squeek or make noise. It's the crunching of bean that makes the sound. No metal on metal or ceramic on ceramic sounds at all.

It doesn't operate with blades -that's the whole point. Instead, it has ceramic conical burr grinders.

The burrs are ceramic; according to the manual, "Ceramic burrs remain sharp for up to twice the lifetime of the highest quality steel burrs." I've had my Baratza over a year & love it.

You would realy have to look atthe grinder model you have, does it have a switch for different speeds? Does the model label state the RPMs if it is fixed? If so is the speed(RPM's) higher than the ratings of the polishing disks?

I've had mine maybe a couple months now & really swear by it....mine is made of metal,does an excellent job of grinding down my canabus. I highly recommend it. I would advise that you also find a small brush ( electric shaver brush ) to clean it afterwards to savor ever bit of your "Hooch" *Smiles*.On a scale 1-10 I'd give it a 100% 10. Enjoy...........

Both salt and pepper mills have non-corrosive ceramic grinding mechanisms that wan't absorb flavors or odors

The handle is plastic, but the grinding part is metal. One down notr to this product is the handle tightens up and then it's hard to turn. The solution I found was to unscrew the top part and turn it.

Steel. This is by far the best grinder I have ever seen for the money. It just might not be for you. Great deal.

Not sure of the specific grinder but we use it daily with a variety of machines. Good product, have used most of the competition, though we still deal with a lot of dust. Have not found the perfect solution.

The blade is, indeed, stainless steel. The ceramic is between the head that attaches to the clipper and the blade. That's what helps keep the blade cooler during operation than blades without the ceramic "guard". Hopes this helps.

The below comment is accurate. The people from this company are very good. I had a problem with mine not grinding and they sent me a new one.

It's not a grinding wheel. It doesn't appear to be metal either. Looks more like ceramic or stone. Whatever it is, it works very well. I used to have a grinding wheel on another can opener and thought I really liked it. However, I truly like this one more. You have more control over the sharpening process. I have no complaints about anything regarding this can opener. It's the best I've ever owned.

Yes it is ceramic. This is the best grinder I have ever used. I like everything about it. You will not be dissapointed.
