This is an amazing grinder.
I tend to grind 2 tablespoons at a time, and don't want a large grinder. I use it for herbs (black pepper, and other seeds mostly). I was specifically looking for a small grinder for herbs, before I found this. I wasn't really looking for a quiet grinder. I stumbled upon this in my search for a small grinder. Most grinders in this size range are portable, and that's not something I need. While this grinder is small, it's very high quality and very powerful.
I have used a lot of grinders and this is by far the quietest grinder, easily 1/10 the noise of other "quiet" grinders. The lid design gives it a double wall with air between when in use. Similar to how a double pain window works, this greatly reduces the noise.
The double wall design ensures that no dust escapes the grinder while grinding.
I have used this for very tiny seeds, much smaller than pepper, and it does a great job grinding them.
The "Vortex" design is great for small quantities as it causes all of the particles to form a tornado-like movement inside the grinder when in use. This gives it a very even grind, as all the particles are thrown around in the vortex, instead of having some sit on the bottom.
The power of the grinder is perfect for my use.
For my use, it's important that the grinding bowl is metal. Some seeds I grind are very tough and have scratched the sides of other grinders that had plastic bowls. The top is quite high up so it isn't really an issue that it's plastic. On other grinders that had plastic bowls and a plastic top, the tops never got scratched much, but the sides did. On grinders with glass, the glass broke eventually. Never use a grinder with glass parts. It's dangerous.
The grinding bowl is easily removed and easily cleaned. This is very important. I've had other grinders that were not so easily cleaned and had parts where particles would accumulate and were almost impossible to clean completely.
This is a blade grinder obviously. I have used steel burr grinders, and the main issue is that the burrs slowly wear down after every use (you ingest steel particles from that). Eventually you have to replace the burrs after a few years. If you buy a burr grinder that doesn't let you replace the burrs, you're buying a grinder that you'll throw away in a few years after the burrs ware out. Blade grinders don't have this wear issue nearly as bad as burrs do. I have blade grinders that are over 10 years old and they still work great.
I like that the cord can be wound around under the grinder, so that you can extend the cord to just the right length on your counter top so that you don't have a long cord dangling around your counter top. This is a must have feature in my opinion.
This also has overheating protection. Another must have feature. If you run it too long, and it overheats, it will temporarily shut down, preventing damage to the grinder. A lot of grinders don't have this feature and will simply be destroyed and rendered useless if this happens. Do not buy a grinder without this feature.
A good example of a grinder NOT TO BUY is the CUISINART Coffee Grinder DBM-8P1. The reasons are: burr grinder wears out and you can't get replacements; it's 100% impossible to clean all parts that come into contact with what you're grinding; it is rendered useless if it overheats; it's super noisy; it spits out dust while it's grinding, so you always need to clean up dust after each use. It's just plain awful. This grinder has none of those issues.
This is easily the best blade grinder in it's class and is highly recommended.

Good product for the price
Got this about 3 months ago, to have a dedicated grinder for coffee beans. It does a ‘pretty good job’ on grind consistency, but will say there are definitely some larger chunks in the grind when I am done. Yes I know I can give it a few moreSpins but need the majority to be ‘not to fine’ for my French press. For the price consistency is good.Honestly my 35 year old brian did a better job with consistency- but that brand doesn’t even exist anymore. But I set that one aside just for spices and wanted a dedicated coffee grinder. There are elaborate models out there if you are looking for 100% consistently and you will also pay much more for them. This fit my budget and other design criteria. I wanted something small, compact with sleek design since I’m normally only pressing for 3 or 4 cups of coffee and this works perfectly for that purpose. It is easy to clean, just brush away loose grinds with a small brush, and wipe with a paper towel /kitchen towel. (NEVER use water in your grinder it will get into the spinning parts and effect the blade rotation, or worse deep down into the motor). Occasionally I wipe the inside with a light sudsy sponge and then rinse only with a damp paper towel and dry. Honestly you do not need to do this very often if you remove debris with a dry towel after each use.One small annoying design flaw is that the cord was not built to store easily - so it is a bit messy on the counter for my liking. My Braun had a slot on the bottom where you could wrap the cord around to keep near and tidy. There are other manufacturers out there that have a retractable cord or cord storage but they either had poor reviews or were big/bulky compared to this one.Have not tired for espresso grind yet… will update the review in future when I do.
