Cuisinart SG-10 Electric Spice-and-Nut Grinder

Worst product . Don’t buy

A Tiny Tornado Disguised as a Kitchen Appliance Do not let the size of this little grinder fool you. This thing has more power than some full-sized hand mixers I’ve owned. It looks small and innocent sitting on the counter, but the moment you press the lid, it turns into a tiny kitchen tornado determined to pulverize everything in its path. I originally bought it for grinding nuts, peppers, and other spices. I expected it to chop them up reasonably well after a little patience and several rounds of shaking, scraping, and starting over. Instead, I pressed down on the lid and watched everything inside immediately begin reconsidering its molecular structure. Nuts? Reduced to crumbs. Dried peppers? Turned into powder and regret. Whole spices? They never stood a chance. It has enough power that the first time I used it, I almost felt like I should have warned the neighbors. You don’t slowly ease into grinding with this machine. You press the top and instantly have a Category 5 seasoning event taking place under the lid. The push-top operation is extremely simple. There are no complicated buttons, menus, settings, touchscreens, Wi-Fi connections, or apps asking for permission to access your location. You put the ingredients inside, close the lid, press down, and hold on while the miniature tornado handles the rest. Pulse it a few times for a coarser texture or let it run longer if you want to erase all evidence that the ingredients were ever whole. It’s also the perfect size for smaller batches. I don’t have to drag out a large food processor, assemble six different pieces, and then wash an entire appliance just because I wanted to grind a handful of nuts or peppers. This does the job quickly without turning a five-minute kitchen task into a full afternoon cleanup project. The clear lid lets you watch the destruction happen in real time, which is surprisingly entertaining. One moment you have recognizable ingredients, and a few seconds later you have a perfectly ground mixture. It’s basically a tiny weather system you can control with one hand. Just be careful when grinding hot peppers. The machine performs its job extremely well, but when you open the lid, you may accidentally release a cloud capable of clearing the kitchen, opening your sinuses, and causing everyone in the house to reevaluate their breathing choices. That isn’t the grinder’s fault—it simply completed the assignment with excessive enthusiasm. Overall, I’m extremely impressed. It’s compact, easy to operate, easy to clean, and far more powerful than I expected. It grinds nuts, peppers, and spices quickly and evenly without taking up much counter or cabinet space. Five stars. This little thing may look like a basic spice grinder, but it is actually a tiny tornado for the kitchen. Point it toward your ingredients, press the lid, and prepare to witness complete and immediate pulverization.

Tengo mas que un año usandolo y la verda está buenísimo. Yo muelo especias duras como pimienta negra y anis estrella. no falla. lo recomiendo 100 porciento.

It overheats within seconds and then shuts off

Excellent product! Had this now for several years! I beat the crap out of it...spices, nuts, dried fruit, coffee (maybe even a little cannabis! ;) Continues to work flawlessly! A++
