Ok, just to clear something up. Do not use a coffee grinder for spices and nuts. Seriously. And that’s not because it will make your morning coffee taste rather exotic (though that is a factor), but because you will break the grinder. You need something stronger, that can take on Sichuan peppercorns, star anise and other things that are much tougher than coffee beans. Enter the excellent
Cuisinart spice grinder.
