A manual grinder with an electric dispenser, which is a more useful combination than it first sounds. You grind by hand, so you keep the feel and the control, then a button vibrates the ground material out through a magnetic flip spout — no tapping, no tray, no spill.
What it is
- 2.5 in aluminium alloy body, large capacity
- 28 CNC-cut diamond-shaped teeth
- Magnetic flip spout that positions where you need it
- Magnetic sliding gate keeps the chamber sealed until you dispense
- LED viewing window so you can see how much is left
Where it earns its place
Outdoors, in a car, on a sofa — anywhere there is no table or tray to work over. The spout aims where you point it, and the gate means a half-full grinder in a bag does not empty itself into the bag.
Worth knowing before you buy
It is a bigger object than a pocket grinder, and that is the trade. If portability matters more than capacity, the 3 inch manual grinder with a storage base is the smaller answer.
How it compares to the fully electric grinders
This one automates only the part that is annoying — getting the material out — and leaves the grind to your hands. All four grinders compared sets that against the two motorised mills, which take over the grind itself and deliver into a tube or a jar.
