Brod & Taylor Coffee & Spice Grinder | Quiet Electric Stainless Steel, Removable 10oz Cup

I do not drink coffee, so have not tried coffee beans in this grinder, but I do use it to grind chia seeds and it is PERFECT ! I tried several other brands, which really did not work well for grinding chia seeds - they were noisy to very noisy, or overheated easily, or did not have a removable cup, or worked oddly - some had to be pushed down to grind and were sometimes hard to engage, and others that had a push button and a removable cup lacked the cover to hold in the cup what was being ground and the grindings went all over the interior and spilled onto the counter when opened, or the cover had to be pushed into position before the grinder worked and then the cover was hard to remove. Then I found this grinder - for some reason it had not come up in previous searches, but this time there it was. Offered by a small company in Massachusetts, with a one year warranty, upped to a three year warranty if you register your product with them, whose philosophy is: "We believe products can make impacts outside of our homes. That's why a portion of Brød & Taylor sales help fund José Andrés' World Central Kitchen and their mission to help communities and economies using the power of food.", and it had really good reviews, so I ordered it and am I glad I did!!!! It is WONDERFUL! The stainless steel 10 oz cup and blade are quality, work well, are easy to clean, and quickly and easily grind my chia seeds to a sand consistency. The cover for the cup just sits on top of the cup and when in place and the grinder lid is closed, there is an easy to push button on the top front of the grinder and all that is ground stays in the cup. It is not silent, but it is certainly quiet for a grinder. And on top of it all, it looks very nice sitting on my counter top. Although I have not had it long, I have used it often, and have faith that I will continue to do so, especially as it is supported by a company which offers a generous warranty. I am so very glad that I found this grinder and like it so much that I gave it five times as part of a Christmas Gift Kit for making chocolate chia pudding.

Better than my previous grinder. Strong blades make short work of nuts. Much easier to clean thanks to the extra lid.

I really am impressed with this however it says it’s silent and in fact it’s far from quiet. But what do you expect from a grinder. So far I like it.

Brod & Taylor is a great company. The Spice & coffee grinder works great. I also have their proofing box I use all the time. Check out their website for recipes and products.

I love cinnamon with coffee. Now, I can grind coffee beans and organic cinnamon beans together. Freshly ground spices add incredible flavor to dishes The aroma that is released is hypnotic.

It broke the first time I used it. What a waste of money.

Reviewing: "Brod & Taylor Spice & Coffee Grinder | Quiet Electric Stainless Steel"So, this is your basic blade grinder, and it works somewhat well. But there is one thing I didn't like at all. I should have realized this in advance, but sometimes it's hard to know how something will work until you use it.The inner lid seems like a great idea when you look at the photos. The problem IRL is that it's opaque, when I think it should be perfectly clear. With a burr grinder, you could grind in the pitch dark with your eyes closed, once you get the burrs dialed in to your grind preference, if you ever wanted/needed to. But with blade grinders, it's really helpful to be able to see what's going on. (I'd say it's a must, but then again, I'm not everyone.)The inner lid issue aside, the grinder is pretty good. The removable cup is nice, and having the inner lid is a good feature to keep the grinds confined to the cup. The grinder is neither loud, nor quiet. I'd say it's about average noise level. And it looks nice.But all that said, I had a heck of a time trying to get any consistent grind with it because I couldn't see what was going on and taking the lid off every 15 seconds was a pain. Maybe I'm just too much of a coffee snob, LOL. Only you know yourself, though, so I would say take this review with a grain of salt for whatever it's worth. If you are not that picky about getting a perfect grind, and don't mind some trial-error, then this may be just the grinder for you.

I bought the Cuisinart 11-piece Chefs Classic Stainless cookware 77-11G. I have only had them for one day but when I unpacked them I was impressed with the weight of the pans, the fact that they have riveted handles, and the overall quality of the set. I used them last night and had no problems with washing them everything came out without sticking. I love them so far and we will see what comes in the future.
