Know before you buy
Yes, the ceramic burrs are versatile enough to handle various dry spices. However, avoid using it for oily or moist ingredients, as these can clog the mechanism.
You can adjust the grind by removing the bottom cap and turning the adjustment screw located inside. Tightening it produces a finer grind, while loosening it creates a coarser texture.
While the glass body is high-quality and allows for easy visibility, it is still glass. It is lightweight and compact enough for travel, but you should pack it carefully to prevent breakage.
Yes, the secure cap is designed to seal the grinding mechanism, which helps retain the aroma and flavor of your spices while preventing spills in your bag.
The capacity is approximately 25g for rock salt or 10g for peppercorns, depending on the grain size. This makes it ideal for daily use or short trips rather than long-term bulk storage.
