Krups GX4100 - Good for the Money

The Krups Coffee/Spice Mill is a good value for the money. I use it primarily for grinding toasted seeds for Indian dishes (cardomman pods, cloves, cumin seed, peppercorns, coriander seed, mustard seed, chiles etc.). I read the reviews on how the plastic lid will ‘cloud’ from certain spices (e.g., cloves) and that doesn’t matter to me. This grinder isn’t a piece of artwork - it’s a cooking tool. Where I used to spend 20 minutes with a hand-operated mill, the Krups does the same thing in about 5 seconds. It cleans up easily - it’s all self-contained and there aren’t any burrs to clean out - it’s totally blade-operated. In a perfect world, it would grind more precisely (fine to coarse) - but that would require burrs and the cleaning associated with them. So for me and my needs, it’s a good value for the money. The time I saved with the first usage more than pays for the machine.
