SHARDORCoffee & Spice Grinders Electric with 2 Removable Stainless Steel Bowls for Dry or Wet Grinding, 70g

As is usual with every wet cutter/grinder that I have had, one needs to give it a burst and possibly use a chop stick or whatever to redistribute the contentsSee,s perfectly adequate unless you want to try and burn the motor out by pressing and leaving it on for a long time rather than just pulsing it.Neat design, easy to use and clean and compact to store,

Date of purchase: 08 Aug 2023Date of review: 23 Jan 2024Usage : approx 5 days a weekUsage type : dry grinding of Indian spices, wet grinding for making puree, wet spicesProduct comes with a device that has the motor, a wet grinding jar and a dry grinding jar.The dry grinding jar is the most effective even for wet grinding. I guess that is because of the shape of the blades which continuously keeps things moving up and down inside the jar while spinning.I have used only for grinding spices - both wet and dry, veges and fruit puree for baby, coconut for coconut chutney and nut butter.Have not used for coffee beans so far.Pros1. Though device has a small wattage, it exceptionally grinds well. I have not used it for more than 20 seconds at one go as per manufacturer's instructions but can achieve a fine grinding by approx 2 to 3 cycles.2. Small jar, hence can grind things in small quantity.3. Have tried - cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, peanuts - all works well4. Have tried making peanut butter and almond butter. Bit of a crunchy texture on both.5. Easy to clean jar and the lid.6. Jar quality is good7. Jar blades are sharp.Cons:While using the wet grinder sometimes (when too much of water) liquid comes out through the small gap between the device and the lid that goes into the device, which becomes a bit difficult to clean later on.

Really quick and super-efficient compared to the antiquated braun with grinding attachment I've been using. To be fair that was ancient.This grinder is super-fast; literally taking about 10 seconds or so to pulverise flaxseeds, which need just-before-use grinding to release the oils in case you didn't know.I tried the veg/wet grinder i.e. the cup with four blades to grind up carrots, garlic, celery and onion and that works well too, although you do have to do that in a few batches given in its small capacity. However, it's so easy to remove and clean and very, very fast, which makes breaking out the larger food processor and unnecessary inconvenience. Oh, and it doesn't make much noise compared to the old, ancient Braun.I've removed a star because the plug is one of those small flat triangular ones with a neck-brace which I cannot plug in just above the splashback, i.e. where the socket is.Normal square-shaped three pins aren't a problem.At some point I'll remove it and replace the plug. You could also use an adaptor if you can't plug it elsewhere in the room where the sockets aren't close to the splashback.

I bought this device to grind roasted spices for a recipe from Goa (India) called Chicken Xacuti. I had tried this before using my regular food processor (and also a hand-held blender) but I never got it quite right. It tasted fine but it was a bit "gritty". The toasted spices I used had not been ground to a powder.This device was advertised and promoted as a "coffee grinder" and I am sure it would do that job well too but my "use case" was to grind the following spices to a fine powder (after I had dry roasted them):◦ 2 tbsp coriander seeds◦ 1 tsp fennel seeds◦ 6 x clove◦ 12 x black peppercorn◦ 2 x stick cinnamon (3 cm)◦ 3 x green [or black] cardamom◦ ¼ tsp fenugreek seeds◦ 2 bay leaves◦ 1 tsp mustard seeds◦ 1 tsp cumin seeds◦ 1 x star anise◦ ¼ tsp caraway seedsThe device did this perfectly. I used the "dry option" (two blades) to do this. I also used the "wet option" (four blades) to chop up "the flesh of 1 mature coconut (peeled and grated)" and that worked well too.The devcice is not a food processor (per se) because it has limited "capacity - i.e. volume". It's perfect for grinding coffee (I'm sure) and spices and even blending "low volume" meals like baby food - but you can't expect it to do everything!Delivery was 5/5 and the product gets 5/5 from me...
