4.0 out of 5 stars Very good grinder, January 14, 2009

This review is from: Ceramic Spice Grinder - Warm Red - with adjustable coarsness wheel (Kitchen)

I purchased the mill to use for grinding flax seeds. While it does an excellent job, I gave it 4 starts because it is impractical for this use. It takes about a minute to get a teaspoonful of flax seeds ground up, so it's useless for those wanting to grind the daily recommended amount of 2 tablespoonfuls. I tested it on peppercorns, red pepper flakes and dried basil, and was very impressed by the result.

This is a splendid little grinder. I'm up to three of them - one for sea salt, one for mixed peppercorns, and one for a favorite herb blend. I'm considering adding a couple more for dried chipotles and smoked salt. Absolutely no complaints, a terrific product. Very easy to use and clean, and I like red. ;-)

3.0 out of 5 stars Good enough for lunch, but ..., June 23, 2009

This review is from: Ceramic Spice Grinder - Warm Red - with adjustable coarsness wheel (Kitchen)

Purchased this grinder for red pepper flakes -- you know, the kind in the round glass jar with the perforated steel top at your local pizza joint.

It works well enough for kicking up my lunch when I'm at work.

However ...

The coarseness adjustment is too coarsely 'stepped', making 'dialing-in' the desired coarseness a hit-or-miss process. A single click one way can make the difference between whole, unground flakes making their way through the grinder, and a single click the other way can result in too powdery a grind. I'd expect that there are some situations where one couldn't get the desired grind.

And it's kind of plastic-y.

At the end of the day, you do get what you pay for. It's adequate for my lunch kit at work (and a decent enough value for that), but I'll be looking for a better product for more exacting kitchen work at home.
