I love this little spice grinder! I have used it to grind star anise for cookies, cinnamon sticks, my own Garam masala, and it handles everything with easy! The only thing is the cord storage. You have to push the cord into and around the base, so it takes some figuring out. That is the ONLY reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5. I love spices, Indian cuisine, and grinding my spices fresh. This gadget is exactly what I needed!!!

Efficient and Versatile Grinder for Every Kitchen

I recently purchased the Cuisinart Spice and Nut Grinder, and it has quickly become an essential tool in my kitchen. Here are my thoughts:

Horrible experience

Was very excited on quick delivery. Got everything ready to grind. First run was perfect. And then it stopped working. So upset . I have to put all my dry fruits and spices back in cabinets. Will go back to my old one bought 15 years ago and it’s still working!

I purchased my second

It is a great grinder. I use my first one or my coffee, and my second one for a very light weight spice. The powdered spice/ grounds do tend to leak a little into the cup receptacle. This is somewhat mitigated by putting some plastic wrap over the top of the cup.

High quality spice grinder and beautiful design

I got this grinder after researching and reading reviews on what the best spice grinder on the market is. Initially, i wasn’t keen on buying this one because of the high price, however, other spice grinders were just not standing up to the mark. The machine made my life easier. Grinds spices beautifully. My old blender broke because I tried to grind cinnamon sticks, so, definitely happy with this one. I use it regularly in my kitchen. Good size and love that the container is able to detach, unlike other spice grinders. Makes it easy to wash.Good investment and has a warranty.

It is one of those super machines that does anything you want. Accomplished every task. I had lined up for it to do.

Fantastic machine

I've been using this grinder for about a month now. Purchased this because I was wasting time and my poor wrist grinding down linseeds/flaxseeds with a mortar and pestle. It's incredibly easy to use and clean. I really like the fact that there are only two removable parts - the stainless steel bowl and the press-top lid. The quality of the grind is really good, it only takes approx 8 seconds to grind linseeds into a fine powder (see photo). This grinder has saved me so much time and effort and I can't wait to try some of the other recipes in the manual.

Cuisinart SG-10, a TIME TRAVEL PORTAL 2 the future

I had an old grinder that served me well for decades until the blade lost a tang. I needed a good one so I chose the Cuisinart SG-10 Spice and nut grinder. It is easy yeti use and clean. It does everything I want of it. It’s like a futuristic STAR GATE (SG) to open and explore new worlds of freshly ground spice and nuts.

Good design

I shopped for a basic grinder that didn't take up much space and was easy to clean. I saw a video where this one was used and I liked what I saw, so I did a bit of research on it.

Whilst the product is great in terms of easy accessibility, usage for varied purposes, and cleaning, the quality of the physical product itself is poor. It took numerous emails to attempt to get replacements for the damaged grinding jars and lids, even then the another damaged jar was sent out without a lid. An honest bad review seems to get you the necessary replacements and customer service expected of Cusinart. Cuisinart used to be a "cutting-edge" company, but lately, it seems their quality is on the chopping block!
