Review on 🧂 Celiseaya Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Grinder, Elegant Salt & Pepper Mill Shaker, Adjustable Coarseness, Refillable - Sea Salt, Black Peppercorn Mill for Kitchen & Dining (T1) by Anferny Pineda

I searched and searched for a meat grinder with four features: it's manual (no electricity, no batteries); has no plastic grinder (preferably metal); small enough to put in my purse; and could grind tiny flaxseeds. It advertised three mechanical properties (size is subjective) and I bought it. The only quality it had out of the four I wanted was that it was handcrafted; and he hit the subjective: It's small enough to slip in my purse (in a zip-top plastic bag, of course, in case the glass shatters if I drop the purse). The sharpener is plastic, not ceramic (advertised) or metal. It does not grind tiny flaxseeds. Unless I want to grind and grind for 24 hours to add two tablespoons of crushed stuff to my morning oatmeal. Oatmeal, carpal tunnel. I poured the flax from the bottom of the jar and heard a noise in the top part (where there is a grinder, you unscrew that part to put seeds, herbs, salt, whatever) onto the bottom of the jar. I held it over the sink and shook it. There are flaxseeds in it. I had to shake it from side to side to get them out and it took quite a while as there were a lot of them. Few were crushed, many were trapped. I think the finer the grind, the bigger the hole to allow the seeds to get into the hidden indentations. Conversely, the coarser the grind, the less chance there is for items in that range to disappear, but both are my guesses. I currently use an electric coffee grinder, which works great, but I want to use as little electrical (and relatively large) equipment as possible. A mortar and pestle would last forever as I've tried that too (plus it's big and breaks easily). I bought a "weed grinder" from a "smoke shop" as there are no gourmet shops where I live. The blades on these grinders are too wide apart; Flaxseeds are very small and just move around in them. But it makes me "cool" with kids; "old lady" with a "weed chopper". (Insert eye rolls). I suspect this item would work well for larger items like chunks of salt and pepper, but definitely not for something as small as flaxseed, no matter how fine the grind is set. So I gave it two stars because it's not what is advertised (plastic, not ceramic grinder; can't grind flaxseed as advertised) but I can't say it's useless because I'm not trying big things. and it can succeed with these . I like the design (no protruding handles) and the price is nice but you get what you pay for.
