Electric Mill – push the lid down and whole beans come out as powder

Stainless steel blades turning inside a 300 ml cup, driven by pressure on the lid. Peppercorns, coffee, dried herbs, rice, seeds and nuts all go in the same chamber. The body stands 20 cm tall on a 12 cm base, which clears the underside of most wall cabinets.

Why choose this electric mill?

Whole spice keeps its oils; ground spice starts giving them up the day it is milled. Doing the grinding yourself moves that clock back to the minute you cook. A 300 ml cup also means a month of curry base in one run instead of four.

• Press-to-run lid: weight on the lid starts the motor, lifting it stops the motor, and there is nothing else to learn.
• Steel cup and blades: food-safe, odor-free and wiped clean with a dry cloth.
• 300 ml chamber: a larger batch than most countertop mills will take.
• Grind set by timing: brief pulses leave it coarse, a longer run takes it to flour.
• Small footprint: 12 x 20 cm, so it can live out on the counter.

Grounds ready before the kettle has finished.

Pulse rather than hold, and shake the cup between pulses; the grind comes out far more even that way. Pull the plug before you clean, then use a dry brush inside instead of water. Give coffee and chili their own sessions unless you want to taste both at once.
