Spice Grinder Buyer’s Guide
So, you want to up your curry game? Or maybe you’re tired of the commercial flavours of coffee available and want to find your perfect blend. Purchasing a grinder is the first step in achieving that dream, and dreams can become reality. Find the right grinder though, now that can be tricky. Listed here are some key points you want to keep in mind:
Power
Don’t get stuck here! Literally. Make sure your grinder has the guts to turn your beans, seeds, or spices to dust. Or whatever coarseness you desire. The best grinders will have the most power.
Speed
This is where your world will be spun right around, baby! Grinders with a higher Revolution Per Minute rating will grind efficiently and thoroughly, meaning you won’t get any unevenness or random lumps.
Capacity
You want enough room to get the job done! Whether that means enough beans for a dozen cups of espresso coffee, or enough room to grind your Thai red curry spice blend to perfection. So check the cup size, because it does matter.
Ease of cleaning
Do you really want to spend time cleaning after you’re done? Probably not, so look for grinders with stainless steel parts, or that can be wiped clean, but don’t expect them to be dishwasher friendly!
Ease of use
A simple on/off approach yields great results. Some grinders come with a novel pulse function; these can be good for rougher pastes, or for coarser coffee blends. The lid should also move freely on and off, and the button depress without fighting to hold it down.
