COSORI Electric Coffee Grinders for Spices, Seeds, Herbs, and Coffee Beans, Spice Blender and Espresso Grinder, Wet and Dry Grinder, Included 2 Removable Stainless Steel Bowls, Black

awesome little grinder
wonderful for dried mushrooms (and, maybe, other stuff)

Great grinder, lid breaks easily
Love this grinder, other than (you saw that coming) the plastic lid.I just got my third one, and all because the lid breaks VERY easily. The first time, it cracked when screwing it into the bowl and thus the grinder no longer worked. The second time, I dropped it (3 inches onto the countertop) and a large piece broke off, rendering the grinder non-functional.So while it’s a great grinder, be VERY careful handling the plastic top. When screwing it in, DON’T apply too much force; just enough to lock it in. And don’t drop it!

You’re going to LOVE the detachable bowl
Had to replace my last coffee grinder because … kids. Originally, I was going to purchase the $17-19 one similar to my last, but was intrigued by the removable grinder bowl. I will never go back to the fully integrated units again.You can properly clean the bowl which you simply cannot do with the integrated units. Yes, you can wipe them out with a damp cloth, but how many years of damp cloth residue are in every cup of coffee?This unit comes with 2 detachable bowls: one meant for hard items such as coffee beans, dried spices, etc; one meant for softer/fresher items such as fresh herbs like coriander, parsley, etc as well as oils and vinegar. The primary difference is 1 blade as opposed to 2 blades, respectively. Both bowls are stainless steel. There is a small plastic gasket at the bottom of each bowl, so there is potentially chance of odour retention; however, having separate bowls helps reduce that chance. So far, I’ve used them to make coffee, ground nuts, flax seeds, cinnamon, and a vinaigrette.Both bowls have their own dedicated lid. The lids don’t seal very well, but they’re meant to store the chopped food for long periods. The lids have a silicone ring around the top to prevent leaks, etc. One could make a basic vinaigrette, store it with the lid for tea, then manually shake it up at the table without worrying about leaks.The primary/safety lid — separate from the bowl lids — also has a silicone ring around the inner-top to prevent bits from flying out of the bowl whilst the unit is in use. There is a safety catch which requires that lid to be in place for the grinder to function. To be fair, keeping that silicone ring clean could lead to a headache years down the road, but I’ll remain optimistic. If I were to nitpik, the only complaint would be finding the exact point where the lid slides into the safety catch can be fiddly.There are no fancy timers or lights to hint at grind size; however, you can see everything through the lid, so not a worry. Also, the blade stops within 1 second after releasing the grind button. My last one took 2-3 seconds, so there’s another win in my book. It also comes with a small brush which I’ll probably lose in a couple weeks. Manufacturer notes do state not use it for extended periods as the motor can get hot. After grinding beans for a 12-cup brew, I did notice the bottom of the bowl feeling quite warm so important to note.As for ease of cleaning, this is a 100% win; as for usability due to 2 separate bowls, yet another 100% win; functionality has given me zero issues thus far, so 100% win.When mine arrived, one of the lid gaskets had a slight tear/cut in it. I reached out to Cosori with a pic, and they immediately sent me a replacement gasket. No headache, no fuss, no jumping through hoops. Customer Service gets another 100% win.Please please please give this a try if you’re looking for an inexpensive coffee grinder. You’ll be impressed.

This is THE ONE! Very happy after a long search – COSORI thought of everything!
These were my criteria: 1- Easy to clean, with no possibility of ground coffee getting into the locking mechanism (this broke our previous grinder). 2 -Button activated – NOT the plastic top push down (plastic breaks with time, can deform in dishwasher). 3 – Safe construction with a copper wired motor and food grade stainless steel in one piece. COSORI has all this and more – love having two grinding bowls and effectively two lids that are included, the one with the locking mechanism (easy rinse), and an extra lid so you can short term store your ground coffee or spice until used, while the other set is getting washed/dried. Electric cord stores in the base, so you can adjust it to be longer or shorter, brush included. Grinder is very powerful. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

I like the way it grinds up the spices and brings out the flavors of the spices
