Review on ☕️ KRUPS CCMF Electric Spice and Coffee Grinder: Stainless Steel Blades, 3 oz/85 g, Black – Powerful Grinding Performance by Chuck Chen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

First test - roasted glutinous rice powder Khao khua (ข้าวคั่ว)

Received the coffee grinder today and registered with the manufacturer. As a first test, I chopped up some fried glutinous rice or rice gluten (hao nyu). After sanitizing the inside of the grinder, I added 2 ounces of toasted glutinous rice to the grinder and covered it with a lid. In less than 15 seconds of pulsing the grinder I got a very good medium grind, now khao kha. Rice is pretty hard anyway, and when it's fried, most of the water it contains evaporates, leaving a very hard core. Traditionally, a pestle and mortar are used. With a little care and patience, a Krups grinder won't overheat the spices you're grinding if you take time between pulses to keep the temperature down. I will grind other whole spices as needed and they will be much fresher than the pre-ground spices we buy. I was able to clean the mill blades with a dry paper towel and shake out the powder while rinsing the lid. In general everything worked fine.

Pros
  • Oval blade for even and consistent grinding
Cons
  • Hard to tell
