  • Note that there's some variants of bladed grinders that do have a fully removable section for cleaning, which can go in a dishwasher (which is even nicer than a mortar and pestle, cleaning-wise) Commented Apr 18, 2024 at 5:25
  • I've never had a problem with blade grinders, chances are if you are getting uneven results you haven't ground it long enough or your grinder just isn't good. At the moment I'm using the blade grinder that came with my nutri-bullet and it gives excellent results. Commented Apr 18, 2024 at 13:04

  • You could buy any number of pepper mills and dedicate each to a spice. I guess if you're all "21st century" you should find electrified ones made with plastic that will break in 5-10 years (or 3 days after the warranty if they are programmed carefully) rather than prior century hand-powered ones that will live longer than you will.
