Electric spice grinders

RickyBobby

Anybody using them? What should I be looking for? I don't need nothing fancy; just getting tired of hand grinding.

I have a Krups electric coffee grinder that I use for spices (I don't drink coffee).  Paid less than $20 for it years ago, and it still works fine.  

One hint to clean them out (for grinding a totally different, incompatible spice): grind up a teaspoon or so of raw dry rice; cleans her right up!

I have the Walmart brand Wahl spice grinder. Got it on sale for 12 bucks. For home bbq it does a good job.

I have the Cuisinart spice grinder and it is awesome. I had a coffee grinder and it was OK, but this really makes a fine powder if you want it. And it's large enough for a good quantity.

If you only make small quantities, the coffee grinder route is hard to beat. Picked up a Mr Coffee for under $15 last year replacing a 10 year old name unknown. Good tip to use rice to clean it. If you keep water out of the bowl, they never rust.

I also use a Krups coffee grinder. The bowl is steel, and I wash it in between grinds.

+1 on Krups. I wash the top and wipe out the bottom with a damp paper towel. Never heard of the rice method. I'll have to give that a try.

I understand that if you intend to grind coffee too that you should have two and not mix them up...not sure why...might have been salesmen bs

I would probably use a grinder dedicated for spices as well.
