Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 That's what we use. We also sometimes use it for grinding our own GF flours but they wear out fast....the plastic around the edge of the lid, particularly.

The smaller ones have smaller blades, but I don't know if that would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Not unless it's a VitaMix. I love my coffee grinder. the open kind with removable top and visible spinning blade, not the kind with spout and housing. Theodora PS...just remember to dedicate on grinder to spices the other to coffee or you'll have very interesting jo. > > That's what we use.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 With a VitaMix you need to work with at least 2 cups of whatever you're grinding.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I bought a Kitcheaid brand grinder (like you describe) probably 10 years ago and it is still going strong. I use it several times a week. I still use a mortar/pestle for griding spices. Easier to do after you toast them. I don't see it being powerful enough for grains, but I've never tried it. Herbs might not work well, but never tried it either. Dried herbs are fine... Pam > > > That's what we use.
