Anyone tried these aluminium grinders?


They are on E bay on this link

Just wondered if anyone had experience of them??

Found this on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Grinder-Aluminium-Diamond-Rotary-System/dp/B007APDB0Y

Think this is would be more useful to people that smoke the herb rather than cook with it.

Like George I'm not a big fan of SMS acronyms, but this is worthy of a LOL...  ;D

As UB suggests, and the Amazon customer review below indicates, this item appears to be intended for a market other than spice-heads:

"This thing is great you can grind about 1-2grams in one sitting.The whole thing will hold about an eigth.Grind is really the wrong word though, mince is a better description.The teeth actually mince and cut the herb rather than tear n grind like others.The build quality is professional kitchen standard, cant see how it would ever break.If Gordon Ramsey smoked weed, he would grind it in this."

I suppose you could use it for spices, but I reckon your wrist would fail before you managed to achieve anything with a finer consistency than kitty litter.

You're much better off with one of these babies: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Krups-Twin-Blade-Coffee-Mill/dp/B00004SPEU/ref=pd_cp_kh_0

I've been using one for a while now and it's the best little grinder have I've ever had.

Get yourself a Krupps F203
