Who uses an electric grinder for spices?

We have a mortar and pestle but would like to invest in an electric grinder too as my partner makes a lot of curries. Is the burr or blade grinder best to get? Thanks :)

I use a good old breville coffee grinder specifically for my linseeds, almonds and sunflower seeds.

I used to until I left the lid to close to the element! Now I use the good old mortar & pestle.

I do find the almonds are always the hardest to grind properly, but it does not bother me too much. I love my LSA sprinkled over crispy apple and drizzled with Waihi Bush organic flaxseed oil.

I have a good one, really fast, a Breville, got it off trademe secondhand , grinds hazels well though takes time as the compartment is a little small.

For grinding spices specially Kenwood coffee grinder is the best. This has narrow mouth which grinds the ingredients very finely. Tried russel hobb but no good use. I still use mine for 14 yrs now no complaints and gifted the other ones to my friends all are crap.

I also use my coffee grinder to mix spices, but never use it for grinding coffee.
