does it work well for grindings nuts

Sorry I have only ever used it for coffee beans but I am pretty sure it would work well.

Yes, but its kinda like building another Shakey's out of stem-cells. You could do it, but you'd probably be better off using lumber.

Burr grinders are specifically designed for espresso. They can and will make grinds that are more course but you can buy a much cheaper machine to achieve that result.

This would be a pretty expensive nut grinder. The Gaggia grinder is designed to grind coffee beans into a pretty consistent powder for use in an espresso machine. There are far better devices for grinding nuts, like food processors, which cost less and have other functions. If you are not using the Gaggia in conjunction with a espresso maker like a Gaggia, then this grinder is really not what you need.

Yes, but to be honest a good blender or sm food precessor is better, or large depending on how many nuts you'll be grinding at a time!

Wow you know I have never heard of anyone wanting to grind nuts with a meat grinder, I would think you may try a couple of peace's of wax paper and a rolling pin. As for ease of cleaning, Yes it is. Try a Ninja machine.

Yes. More so than any other grinder I've used in the past. The grinder performs well and this is not a big issue but you will most likely be cleaning up grinds that cling to the unit after you use it.

I just read a review by some other customer about this product different brand "Compact Table Top Grinder -110volts 2 Ltrs". She has already bought and tried it for producing nut butter. I have copy pasted her question/comment. Since she has already bought it, You can probably ask her user experience. Normally, in my country we use this primarily for grinding soaked rice, lentils, beans and black gram etc. I bought this item to make nut butter for my raw food restaurant where we make our own almond butter. The most efficient way I have found to do this is to first process the nuts in a cuisanart until they are pretty fine, then add them to the stone grinder. We add almond oil for a smooth consistency. If you leave the top of and help it along with a spatula for the first five minutes and then let it go for another five. Another review said you shouldn't let it run for more than a half hour because the motor isn't that strong and it usually takes less than ten minutes to make about 4 cups of...

No, it doesn't grind that fine. It's great for everyday home use, but really not for very fine type grinds.

The Cuisinart Stainless Steel Spice And Nut Grinder is advertised as capable of doing nut grinding. Does this work better or worse? The Cuisinart device looks like it is not heavy duty. But I'm guessing it will create nut butters.

You can use the milling blade for nuts, flax seed, etc... it grinds it so that it will blend better in smoothies / shakes. I use mine quite often. I also use it to grind coffee beans.

Yes. But go easy. It's a bit poorly made so exessive force may strip the square bolt that holds the knife and plate onto the auger. It can grind chicken leg bones so it should be able to grind nuts with no problem.

its not really that kind of grinder, its mostly for tobacco products. However if you first cut the cinnamon into short sections I would imagine it could work. that said its it intended mostly as a smoker's accessory for those of us who like to roll our own blends. hope this helps!

I use mine for only nuts. It will grind them to any degree of fineness you prefer, including to paste (almost butter) texture. Works best if you don't fill it too full. It's a dandy little appliance and well worth the price.

It will handle a large enough quantity of nuts just fine. It's really not designed to grind smaller amounts. You're better off with a coffee grinder for flax seeds and quantities of nuts and spices up to approx. 2 tablespoons. 1/4 cup may need to be done in 2 batches.

I use only for Coffee and it works very good, I have more than 6 months and no problem!!! I don't know to grind nuts!!! Sorry :(

I have used it a few times and it didn't grind flax seeds as well as I hoped, they are pretty tough and they jump around from the static electricity. Size wise it is appropriate for that abount of flax seeds but it you want a fine grind it won't work that well but its ok for a coarse grind.

I would not use this grinder to make nut butters. (I make my own nut butters all of the time, in my 14 c. Cuisinart Food processor, which does an amazing job. In my experience, you need at least a 7 cup food proc. to make any nut butter). This little grinder is not meant for the motor to be running for as long as it takes to make nut butter.

I use it to grind peanuts into peanut butter all the time. I tried to grind pretzels once for something and it was a MESS; I had pretzel dust all over my kitchen. So it worked good for oily hard things like nuts, but not for drier ingredients like pretzels or I'm guessing wheat berries.

I've only used the grinder to grind black sesame seeds and peanuts. It works very well with small, hard, and dry seeds or nuts for sure. I probably would not use it to "chop" fresh wet plants like plants....
