Spice Grinder?

If you've got a Kenwood Chef I can really recommend the grinder attachment for that. I do spiced beef at Christmas which uses juniper berries and a pestle and mortar made no impact at all whereas the chef grinder was brill

I was just going to post exactly this. A Kenwood Chef has a 1/10 horse power motor so basically it's not going to be defeated by a few puny spices!

Any other ideas on this? Trying to add things to my amazon wishlist in time for Christmas so I don't end up with socks!

KRUPS spice grinder, that would be my suggestion. Where I am using that for more than a year. It's powerful motor, grinds the spices very fast and I can use the same for coffee grinding too. One of my friend who is in Horton spices, suggested me to buy this grinder, any way his words worth.

If you are making larger quantities of garam masala etc then a coffee grinder is excellent. I used a James Martin coffee grinder for this purpose for 7+ years, in our household it was never used for anything else it rarely got washed, just wiped out. Cost less than £15. The key is to not run the motor too long at a time, they will last!

Now use a coffee grinder attachment on my hand-me-down Braun tabletop mixer.

For small quantities a decent size (over 6-7") pestle & mortar should do it well.

Larger pestles are much heavier hence small sets are nigh on useless, as it's the weight of the pestle that does half the work at least
