I bought this for my sister for Christmas. She cooks all the time. I was looking for something unique to give her that she didn’t already have. I came across this and thought it was interesting. It is HEAVY. I mean really heavy. While I haven’t used it, it’s easy to see that with dried herbs it will work fantastic. Very little effort needed to grind it. And the fact that the top part can be used to store what you grind makes it dual purpose. Should be super easy to clean too. Hope she likes it. I wanted to keep it for myself. It is a little on the pricey side but should last forever.

It’s easy to use the grinder, doesn’t require much pressure, and it looks nice on the counter. I purchased it for grinding up small quantities of spices for baking (only enough for the day), and from that perspective, it’s less than ideal. In order to grind very small amounts – in my case, allspice balls – one ends up pressing each of the metal grinding “teeth” against each other. Some wear began to quickly show. For me, the solution to this problem was to add all of my spices into the grinder, including those that were purchased ground already, to provide a layer while the allspice was pulverized. One other slight downside is that slight brushing is needed to remove the spice from between the metal teeth; easily solved with a basting brush or paint brush used for cooking. I would buy again; manual grinding is my preference, and freshly ground spices provide much better flavor.

This works, plain and simple. Ideal for making smaller batches of your favorite spice blend or any dried spices. If you only need a small amount of spices then why grind up a big batch that will sit unused in a jar and become stale? I like it for making garam masala for a single dish. Fresh every time. Also perfect for grinding my spices for various bean and chicken dishes.This is easier for me to use than a traditional mortar and pestle because of the weight of the grinding piece and its efficiency in keeping the items being ground in contact with the grinding surface. Well made, great finish and easy to clean.

The Zazzenhus cast iron grinder is the best method Iβve found (superior to a mortar and pestle) for grinding small seeds like caraway, mustard, etc. Just a few turns of the grinder are all it takes. It will handle the smallest amount of spices and seeds so itβs easy to always have fresh-ground ingredients. Made of heavy duty cast iron with a lovely wood top covering the storage chamber. In appearance it is unique so I leave it on the kitchen counter, and use it frequently. Love it!

Just get a pepper grinder. This is a high effort/little result tool. It’s cute. It’s rustic looking. But not very functional.

Effective. Efficient. Great for spices

I mostly cook for one and this isn’t ideal for a grinding a small quantity of spices. The metal rivets and grooves that do the grinding are too deep to grind the spices that get caught in between them. This would be better for a large quantity of spices.
