I was looking for a replacement to an old handle-top grinder for some time. I have tried a bunch and kept having so many problems with pieces of metal flaking off here or there… not what you want in herbs and others simply rust for seemingly no reason. Thankfully, this grinder has had none of those problems at all. The piece is sturdy, grinds with ease and the middle chamber is large enough to hold a fair amount of ground product while the bottom chamber, under the screen is perfectly sized to keep a great little stash. This grinder is definitely worth your money. I have paid far more for less quality and more problems. Also, I didn’t see it mentioned in the description but a little scraper was included for the bottom chamber, making scraping and scooping a whole lot easier. Great little extra for an already great purchase.

This is a very well manufactured grinder and produces a perfectly ground herb. I was hesitant to buy a grinder made of aluminum, but I read what Dr. Andrew Weil had to say about anodized aluminum: “Anodization subjects the surface of aluminum pots and pans to a process that builds up the metal’s natural coating of oxide. This should yield a hard, nonreactive substance that forms a tough coating.” I still have some concerns about grinding and grinding and what that will do to the oxide coating, but overall, I think it’s safe. I would love to see one of these in stainless steel, but no one makes one!!!

I just received my grinder today and its visually beautiful to look at, the machining on this little gadget is on par with some of the machined aluminum parts on my race bike, fit and finish is amazing, now with that said it performs as it should, it takes my product and grinds it down to make it more usable and shall I say more smoke-able, the more you grind the finer it gets, so its up to the user to decide how much to grind, I’m actually thinking of picking one up for kitchen use because I’m amazed on how well it works…..a satisfied customer
