SHARDOR Coffee Spice Grinder Electric,2 Removable Cups Grinder for Kitchen

Early days, but did an excellent job on flax seeds; fast and fine.

Very easy to use, easy to clean, grind well for all the spices and the nuts, value for the money, looks nice and elegant, the containers is big enough so i am very happy with it. I didn't try it for wet ingredients but soon I will. Highly recommended

I had been looking for a spice grinder for wet spices, garlic ginger, coriander and so on, where I could add liquid like water or vinegar, for the longest time. As far as I could tell, they are readily available in India, but not so here, in the UK. After reading the review from the person about goan cuisine I decided to go for this one. I'm quite pleased with it so far. It grinds dry spices, like peppercorns, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, cardamon pods, to a fine powder. The wet spices too, grind well, and to a paste. Those are the positives, but there are some downsides. Not negatives but downsides, which can be overcome. The cups could do with more capacity, especially the wet one. So, to grind garlic and ginger, fresh coriander, chillies, it becomes necessary to chop the larger spices to size. Not a problem, though. When adding water, caution is required. Only add a minimum amount e.g. 2-3 tablespoons, as while the grinding is taking place, the liquid tends to seep out from the top of the bowl. Another downside is cleaning the cups. There are little crannies where spices get lodged and it takes an effort to dislodge. But, overall, I'm pleased with the product. I think it is designed with coffee beans in mind, but with a little bit of creativity and adaptation, it works very well for me.

Reasons why this grinder is so well thought out; 1) I bought this grinder to stop our coffee grinder being moved around on the counter. One of us uses our left hand to pour the grounds into the machine and the other uses their the right hand so the grinder was always in the wrong place! This grinder lets you take the cup out to pour the grounds into the coffee machine - problem solved! 2) The removable cup means this is really easy to keep clean, just make sure that you dry it well before using or you will have more difficulty pouring the grounds as they will stick. 3) The flex can be wound around a tidy in the base so you don't have cable everywhere. There is also a channel for the flex to come through so the grinder always stands flat even when you have wound lots of flex around the tidy. 4) The second cup (four blades instead of two, for grinding 'wet' things like herbs) can also be used to store the coffee scoop cum brush. 5) The coffee scoop has a handy brush moulded in to the handle which is great for cleaning around so you get every last bit of coffee. 6) The markers on the inside of the cup are really helpful to make sure that coffee is always around the same strength. The grinder makes a rather uneasy noise when working but I may just have got so used to our previous grinder. The grinder is neat and compact so doesn't take up much space, 8" (20.3cm) tall and 4" (10.1cm) in diameter. I am pleased with this grinder. Good purchase. Arrived quickly and everything works well. It comes packaged in its own picture box but I was offered the option of an Amazon box so if this will be a gift it can arrive incognito!!

Date of purchase: 08 Aug 2023 Date of review: 23 Jan 2024 Usage : approx 5 days a week Usage type : dry grinding of Indian spices, wet grinding for making puree, wet spices Product comes with a device that has the motor, a wet grinding jar and a dry grinding jar. The dry grinding jar is the most effective even for wet grinding. I guess that is because of the shape of the blades which continuously keeps things moving up and down inside the jar while spinning. I have used only for grinding spices - both wet and dry, veges and fruit puree for baby, coconut for coconut chutney and nut butter. Have not used for coffee beans so far. Pros 1. Though device has a small wattage, it exceptionally grinds well. I have not used it for more than 20 seconds at one go as per manufacturer's instructions but can achieve a fine grinding by approx 2 to 3 cycles. 2. Small jar, hence can grind things in small quantity. 3. Have tried - cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, peanuts - all works well 4. Have tried making peanut butter and almond butter. Bit of a crunchy texture on both. 5. Easy to clean jar and the lid. 6. Jar quality is good 7. Jar blades are sharp. Cons: While using the wet grinder sometimes (when too much of water) liquid comes out through the small gap between the device and the lid that goes into the device, which becomes a bit difficult to clean later on.

I like to wake up every day to a freshly ground cup of coffee and to do that a good coffee grinder is essential. My last grinder was good but did have a few minor problems. It was tricky to screw on the lid and ground beans stuck to the inside of the grinder due to a plastic rim that especially seemed to attract some brands of coffee, this meant that it couldn’t be fully emptied which did tend to create a mess when cleaning it. Having a mains cord didn’t help when I wanted to brush it clean over the sink. My new Shardor grinder is a massive improvement. The grinding bowl is easy to insert and its stainless steel construction means that the ground beans tip out very easily without sticking to plastic on the inside of the bowl. It’s good that the bowl can be lifted out of the grinder base for ease if use, this makes the process quick, clean and simple, it also avoids the problem of an attached mains cord. To aid in cleaning, the bowl can be swilled under the tap if required. I like the design, it’s slim, quiet, unobtrusive and simple to use. It grinds beans without waking the rest of the family in the morning. There is a second bowl included that will be useful for those occasional small chopping tasks that require a simple solution. The machine has a two year guarantee included when registered. At last have found the coffee grinder that I have been looking for. Why struggle with a grinder? Now with the Shardor you can truly ‘ Wake up and smell the coffee’ !

Great grinder easy to remove to clean would recommend im a pretty decent cook and will use this for all types of wet and dry grinding/ mixing

I wanted to love this grinder based on the good reviews, but at the moment I'm questioning myself why I didn't send it back. I still have my simple Braun coffee grinder to compare this one to. Only reason I bought this one was cause I hate to clean out spices from Braun so my coffee wouldn't taste weird, that was not easiest of jobs since Braun is not washable. So I decided to buy this one for coffee, and ginger/garlic and leave Braun for spices. First impressions? It's very loud compared to my old one. As a result you cannot tell by sound of coffee is it done or not, Braun is quieter and you can actually tell by sound of coffee is it done. After recommended 30sec. grinding coffee was not as fine as in my old Braun. I'm using Aeropress coffee maker that recommends using fine espresso coffee. To get that you need at least 2x30sec. I have added video to show the sound of machine and result of ground coffee (medium level) after 30sec. grinding. Why I chose exactly this grinder? Cause I often blend garlic and ginger for curries and this was suppose to be able to grind small amounts of wet ingredients. I'm left disappointed. You can see picture of ginger+garlic before grinding, it's on middle level. Next pic is result after 30sec. Honestly shockingly bad. Whole pieces of garlic all over. Added 2 tbsp. of water, tried another 30sec. Got result in next 2 pics. Lid full of paste and still lumps of garlic if you can see on the spoon. Added another tbsp. of water, finally it was paste, but as you can see in last picture silicone seal fails during grinding and let's liquid seep out. (unfortunately I think amazon is adding pics not in the order I add them) According to seller I'm not suppose to add any water cause seals are not waterproof. Seriously? So how are you suppose to make any pastes in it? It's meant to be for wet ingredients. Since bought it in April, haven't used it for wet ingredients anymore, useless. Use it only for coffee. But only for that I could have bought cheaper and better grinder. If it was 20£ I would maybe understand the performance, but for the original price I'm very disappointed. Inadequate performance.
