A 12 dollar coffee grinder then go to an asian store and buy whole spices. Then get some small tupperware tubs to keep the whole spices in. You will make the cost of the grinder back in one trip. For what I would conventionally call spices.

  • cumin
  • coriander
  • fennel seed
  • turmeric (this will be ground already)
  • Small dried red chillis
  • mustard seed
  • Onion seed
  • Fenugreek

    Roughly in that order I guess.

The difference in flavour between fresh-ground and pre-ground is like night and day. Even the difference between spices ground in the last hour and three days before is astonishing.

To grind any spice: (1) dry roast on low flame, turning often to make sure there's no burning. (2) Once you start to smell the aromas, and the spice is nicely golden, remove from heat. (3) Once cool, grind (coffee grinders work great). (4) Try to consume at least some of it right away (no, not straight up).

A recipe I love and make often, which uses a fair number of spices is Andhra chicken fry. It illustrates perfectly the power of fresh-ground spices. If you make this with just-ground spices, you'll be blown away. And three days later, if you're lucky enough to have leftovers, this chicken will still be amazing, but you'll see that comparatively, it'll be a dull version of its former blazing avatar.

EDIT: typos, clarification

EDIT: a grinder like this works really well.

Additionaly:


I know you say that you "only started cooking in the last few months", but make sure you use the freshest spices available. If you have a cabinet (or drawer) full of supermarket spices which are a couple years old - in those cheap plastic bottles - toss them out and get some GOOD ones. I am lucky enough to live near one of the Penzey's Spices stores, but check with people in your city to see what is available.

Whole is better than pre-ground as well since the oils and volatile flavor compounds evaporate away over time once a spice has been ground. Get a coffee grinder to use ONLY for your spices not necessarily this model but something similar. EDIT: Make sure to give it a cleaning with a clean cloth between grinding say...cumin and cinnamon.

Toast your spices gently in a skillet for a minute over low heat just before you grind them. The difference between fresh-toasted whole cumin that you just ground, and a jar which has been sitting in the cabinet for a year is the difference between day and...floor-sweepings!

TL;DR: Buy fresh/whole spices, from a reputable source, grind them yourself just after a light toasting.

I fucking hate the tin it comes with. It always gets stuck because the design of the grinder itself is fundamentally flawed.

There's a small lip that traps weed in the grinder. If you give the grinder a smack against a hard surface when you're done using it, you'll find that a not insignificant amount of weed was trapped inside it.

So you place your grinder in the tin, the weed escapes and the tin gets humid, sticky and gummed down.

Which is extra annoying because if you're not at home, you often don't have your other grinder or a place to store this excess weed. So you either have to waste it (rip) or keep it in the tin which causes this.

Do yourself a favour and just buy a cheap coffee grinder and just store the ground weed in a pill bottle or something. Weed that's on the drier side is better to vape anyway so you shouldn't worry too much about using freshly ground stuff like you do when rolling a joint.

you won't have any more grinding to worry about. This thing not only grinds perfectly and evenly in seconds, it spins out the kief. I recommend turning it upside down when yer done blending. Also, only use 3 or 4 one-second bursts when hitting the blend button (only one button on the machine, no dials, it just works etc.)

EDIT: The preferred way of using this is to just have a quick grinding session at home where you then store what is ready to go. Obviously, you aren't going to carry this around... but for a no-hassle way of getting it done and ready quick - this is THE way to go. If yer in the southeastern US: Publix carries them for $11.

The first time ever I used pretty high quality stuff, but the other times it was just regular, nothing spectacular. I used a coffee grinder to bust it up. These things knock the crystals off the weed as well, so i brushed all those into the mix as well. You could make a decent tray of brownies with 14g of decent buds. You just have to eat a little more of it. I think if you ate the equivalent of 1g in a brownie then you would feel pretty high, so 14 grams would make 14 brownies. The high is really good, make sure you don't have anything to do for 8 hours or so.

Dump everything(dry) in there and it turns the shit to dust.

Woah, I've heard of vitamixes before but thats great that they can last for years and years! Have you tried a coffee grinder? I'm sure you can find them cheap, maybe even at a goodwill or a garage sale. I've seen on the food network that they use them for spices as well as coffee and it makes the spices into almost a dust. However you may not be able to do much at a time.

At first I was like, "Nigga you high," but then I googled it. Fuck grinders, I'm getting one.

u/thewhitestmexican12 · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

1469, Because that is how much I got. :)

I'm getting a kitchenaide mixer with my tax money, and would love to add a coffee/spice grinder to my collection. :)

I was referring to this style grinder. Which is only really good for percolators or grinding pepper for cooking.

u/filthyscrotum · 1 pointr/Cooking

This is exactly what I came to this thead for. I got this cheap grinder for $8, but with a little practice it has never let me down.

I also have one of these with a mason attachment for freshness. Even ground aromatics can stay fresh for up to a year.

oh wow ok, because I actually just bought a 50 dollar 3.0" sharpstone grinder but freakin somehow dropped it which I never do and it basically dented and when I bent it back it's threading won't align. I wanted a better way anyhow and because of you I shall buy a coffee grinder. or maybe this one or this one lol I can't wait. Thank you for the help =)

I have noticed that if I get whole coffee beans and grind them right before I make the coffee it's so much better. I still use a regular coffee machine and not a french press yet, but I find just grinding the beans at home makes a huge difference! I use this grinder: http://www.amazon.com/Proctor-Silex-E160B-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B00006IUX5/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1310501169&sr=8-3 which only grinds about 2-3 tbsp of coffee at a time (2-3 cups worth) but it's really simple and quiet.

To extract the most cannabinoids you will also want the most surface area possible so the finer the weed is ground the better. If you break it up in a normal grinder that'll be just fine. I like to use a coffee bean grinder, but i've heard food processors can also work.

Here's an example coffee grinder, no need for anything fancy:

Op_ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IUX5/ref=twister_B00GVJUWAC much cheaper than any spice grinder and works twice as well.
