Good for spices, but it generates too much heat for the coffee. Bialetti invented these in the 70's but now they are kinda obsolete
Came to the comments to say the same thing.
Good for chopping up your "herbs" but no good for coffee
Can this make a latte?
This is a quality little unit.
I dehydrate fruit and vegetables I grow and make powders (for baking, ice creams, drinks, soups, stews, seasonings etc…) with them and this grinds them so well.
I used to grind them in a high speed blender, but the friction inside started to cloud the container. This does a great job every time.True that.
Please don’t use this for coffee.
If you’re going to the effort of grinding (hopefully) fresh coffee, at least give it the respect of a burr grinder.
I’m sure this may be useful for other things. Just not coffee. Please :’)The sunbeam is about 88 and has barazta burr grind if u can spend a bit more for example
I can't see any sunbeam burr grinder for around 88. Do you have the model you could share?
Sorry mate, it was a black Friday deal I didn't realise. It's now about a hundy. Sunbeam em0440
@jackvdbuk: I have the Sunbeam EM0440, picked it up as new from FB Marketplace for $50. Works really well.
Honestly for people on a budget who just want to move on from stale pre-ground to freshly ground beans and are making something less fussy than espresso like french press, this is a perfectly fine upgrade.
You aren't wrong—because a French press isn't fussy at all and just needs 10 minute immersions even with boulders in the mix—but I would just get one of the absurdly good entry level handgrinders if wanting a coffee grinder. Better handgrinders come out so frequently I don't even retain model names at this stage.
Agree go a hand grinder. There's next to no effort in grinding for French press and it'll likely be quieter than this spice grinder. KINGrinders on Amazon (P0 looks to be $45) great bang for buck and will be immensely better than this.
I don't get the snobbery. Pre ground coffee is fine when first opened. It just does not keep very long when exposed to air. That's why you need a grinder.
But then I have milk in my coffee, which a true coffee snob never would.
I don't know what part of what I said was snobbery, you upgrade to a grinder if you want your coffee to taste as fresh at the bottom of the packet as the top, no matter how you prepare it
@Gorby: Totally in agreement then. But you get some people who think "stale pre-ground" is a tautology. Or any supermarket beans for that matter.
I used to buy the 250g tins, and freeze once opened. That worked OK, but the grinder has paid for itself, with beans cheaper by the 1kg bag :)
Same price at Retravision (WA only?) plus another 5% of with RAC member card.
Support local!
Have never used it for coffee but works great for spices!
Anyone tried using this for non dried items such as garlic or chilli?
Without stating the obvious nor being pedantic this is NOT a grinder, its a chopper. Not a shot at the OP but Preville is misleading folks calling it a grinder.
Relevance? Please do not use this for coffee beans - as you will end up with all kinds of different sized particles which results in a shitty extraction, regardless of your method - and yes, if you use and it tastes fine to you - cool, you are lucky.
I have one myself and for spices it's fine.
What's the smallest amount of spices you can process in this ? It looks on the big side for my normal requirement of 2-3 tablespoons.
Sad there's only 1 photo even on the Breville site. They must feel ashamed to call it a 'grinder' when I assume it's a single blade that spins in free air.Aslo calling BS on AMazon's RRP
"-27% $55.00
RRP: $74.95"since Breville list it for under $65.
It would be great if the ACCC had some teeth and handed out fines to stamp out this practice. ALso having a quick and easy way to reoort scams and illegal retail behaivour would be nice, rather than just whinging on forums.
It wouldn't take many big fines for Amazon to know they're serious.
Amazing little spice grinder
