I'm buying a birthday gift for a friend
who likes making Mexican and Indian food.

I though I'd get him an electric
spice grinder.

Since there don't appear to be any
spice grinder per se, a small coffee grinder
seems to be the standard solution.

So; does anybody have any
preferances/recommendations, available in the UK?

I'm aiming to spend up to 30 pounds.

my tuppenceworth, as someone who always grinds her own spices, I find that
it is more hassle using an electric grinder and then cleaning it than using
a good old fashioned morter and pestle!

Agreed, since spices should be freshly ground (but if you're using them daily
then sufficient for a few days can be ground at the sme time and stored).

Typhoon's cast iron range are very good and even make grinding cloves
relatively easy.

have you tried uk.food+drink.indian for alternative viewpoints?

It has been discussed more than once but it won't harm to post the query
as ufdi is not a heavy traffic group.

(sorry the topic is not on the website)
