Proctor Silex Electric Coffee Grinder for Beans, Spices and More, Stainless Steel Blades, 12 Cups, W...

Although I do highly recommend this product, I also recommend buying cloves that are already ground into powder. Learn from an idiot. Save yourself some money and headache. =) The spice grinder worked perfectly. High powered and fairly quiet, it made quick work of my whole cloves, but it's now stained and has a film of sorts covering the inside. Totally the cloves' fault. They did the same thing to my little personal blender I tried before the spice grinder. I've run coarse salt and coffee beans

What a great deal on this coffee grinder! Works great and is very attractive. I can't believe it cost less than $11!

I wanted the most inexpensive one I could get within two days. So, purchased this one to grind herb. It only has one speed ANNIHILATE. It’s loud, too. That said, it’s inexpensive and does the job so long as I only PULSE the button 3 or 4 times to grind into the perfect texture. If it’s held down for more that a second at a time, it will turn it to dust. It’s good for the price. It could handle grinding allspice and peppercorns, too.

Had to replace my grinder of a different brand ( well known brand ) because i had dropped it and the inner plastic cup broke. My new grinder -- Proctor Silex, does not have the inner cup and I happen to like this better because there is one less part to clean. The clear plastic inner cup of my old grinder used to get spice and seed oil residue built up on it, whereas with this grinder, there is no oil buildup and there is no spillage to worry with. Overall -- no mess! Just use a spice brush and/

I've used this for coffee beans & it works well. Can't say with spices.
