I use a small Salton coffee grinder(use a separate one for spices). They
run less than $20. Or a molcahete(by hand).

I use a similar electric grinder myself for spices but I'd be
careful not to inhale any dust with hot red peppers. I've not
had the courage to try :-)

What he said. Coffee grinders are a must for makeing chili
powders, and grinding other spices. Dedicate a grinder
specifically for spices. I have 3, all used for spices since I
don't drink much coffee.

Steve, I have 3 brands, two of which do NOT grind my spices well at all, so
this week I brought home my Krupps from f-i-l's, and I'm hoping it works
better than the Melita and DeLonghi.
Just wondering what your brands are - if you have the time to look? Many
thanks.

Small electric coffee grinders work fine as long as they have a
close-fitting lid and you give the 'dust' time to settle before you
take the lid off. Trouble is you probably won't be able to use it for
coffee again.

Unless you dry your own chilli peppers you are probably better advised
to buy chilli powder

The little grinders are cheap enough that it is no great
extravagance to keep one for grinding spices as I do.
