Spice Mill Black for Nutmeg Cinnamon Tonka beans

grinds nicely and without too much effort

You are not going to want to grate a lot of any spice manually, but for specific "hard" spices, this does really well. I don't think you have much control of the fineness of the grated item. Everything I've tried so far comes out "finely" grated, but for me that is okay. I specifically bought this to grate Indian Long Pepper, which has a long, hard, sometimes twisty shape. Long pepper wouldn't grate from a regular pepper grater. I have a small mortar & pestle and that works fine for the Long Pepper, but a little messy. But, I put a few of the Long Pepper in the drum, and twisted the grater. Finely grated pepper came out. Result, pungent, freshly & finely grated pepper. Exactly what I wanted. This grater has a storage compartment at the top for ungrated spice. *I tried Star Anise, Stick Cinnamon, Cloves, Cumin, regular round pepper, Long Pepper, Grains of Paradise, and even Mustard Seeds. The grater worked for all of the above. This grater seems "elegant" in it's design. Simple, but does the job well. Would it be less likely to break if the drum was made of metal? Would be nice if you could remove the microplane part when it wears out, and replace it with a new one, cheaper than buying a new one. Like that storage compartment at the top. A lot of thought went into this simple design! ADDENDUM: After 8 months, the grinder is still working perfectly. But oddly, the storage compartment has frozen shut, and I haven't managed to "break" this seal, in order to gain access to the stored items. ADDENDUM2: It just stopped working. I couldn't figure out why. Then I noticed that the microplane was rotating along with the grinder mechanism. I'm going to superglue it and I think that will correct the problem.

Me encanta este molinillo de nuez moscada! Las hojas son muy resistentes y rayan las nueces con muchísima facilidad dejando las partículas muy finas. Por fin puedo rallar las nueces moscadas desde el principio hasta el final sin tener miedo por rallarme los dedos. Permiten aprovechar todo, absolutamente todo de la nuez. Además, tiene un compartimento que permite guardar las nueces entre un rayado y el otro. Y también un tapón que permite guardarlo sin ensuciar la balda con los restos de las especias molidas. Me encanta! Muy buena calidad.

عملية وتطحن ناعماً ولها مكان تخزين يسع تقريباً إلى خمس او ست حبات جوزة طيب كنت اتمنا لو كان بدل الغطاء المطاطي وعاء لحفظ الخارج

I love nutmeg and it seems the proper thing to do to buy whole nutmeg, rather than ready-grated. But then you have to buy one of those mini-graters which is fine when you’re starting on a new nutmeg but when you’re down to half and a quarter, there’s the ever present rush of grading your fingertips - ouch! So this is the answer. It’s very neat and compact and looks quite classy - I chose the all black model but the black and chrome would look good too. You slide the central cylinder out and drop the nutmeg (or whatever) in then slide the cylinder back in. The outer cylinder had the grated as is bottom surface so your nutmeg is reading directly on the greater. You press down on the top cylinder and turn it and it presses the nutmeg against the grater and the grounds fall out the bottom. It doesn’t take a lot of elbow grease to do it. The top cylinder has a cap you can take off which reveals a little chamber insure that will take a couple of whole nutmegs for storage, so you have them there ready. Neat and simple and effective. Only possible improvement might be a little plastic cap for the base to stop and remaining ground falling out when I’d in the cupboard or placed on your worktop but that’s not the end of the world.

今まで花椒を挽くのに貝印のセラミックミルを使っていましたが、いまいち大きい粒が挽けず苦労していました。 このミルはそもそも潰すのではなく、刃にあたる穴の空いた金属プレートに押し付けてすりおろす形なので、花椒もきれいに挽くことができます。 注意点としては、ミルの中に入れたスパイスは密閉されないため、使用後中に残ったものは一旦取り出すか使い切る必要があります。 今まで少しずつしかかけられなかった花椒を手軽にたっぷりかけられるようになったので、大変満足な商品です。
