Handsome Hand-Grinder, But Difficult To FeedFrom the female of the family: I grow a lot of herbs in my garden and I dry and preserve many, including thyme, mint, basil, oregano, and more.I like the idea of a ceramic hand-grinder — no electricity or batteries required.And this is a handsome unit, nicely made. It comes with the handle and cap separate. When you install this, you simply fit it over the edged shaft on the main body and press it down. It’s a bit disconcerting when you go to take it off. It wouldn’t come right away and I was worried I was going to break it. Just firmly, but reasonably gently, lever the handle straight up. It will pop off. (Don’t twist and turn).Beneath that, you’ll find a clear plastic cap that covers the compartment into which you’ll put the leaves and maybe flowers you want to process. You stuff them in there. Below this is the ceramic grinding wheel. The see-through base unit will hold the herbs you grind. Unscrew this and take a look at the white square plastic nut on the bottom of the grinder. Turn it right and it grinds finer — left, and it will be coarser.I put in some dried basil leaves and started to crank. Nothing came out. I unscrewed the base again and turned the nut all the way left. Some more cranking, and herb started to come through. Eventually I got it all done.Here’s my problem with the design: there’s nothing to force the leaves down through the grinder. Gravity alone may not work. I had to keep removing the handle and top lid and poking the leaves further down. This doesn’t seem all that efficient to me.I like the grinder, but I took 2 stars off for the feeding issue.

So disappointed in this–not fun to use, and doesn’t do what it claimsI love Japanese kitchenware and have always known Kyocera as a good brand. I was super-excited for this to arrive, but after using it once I am getting rid of it. Assembling and disassembling is an incredible pain, and you had better not lose that tiny pin that holds the ceramic grinding plates together!I added a tablespoon of dried spearmint leaves to grind for tea, and the grinding process took at least 5 minutes. I found I had to hold this fairly tightly with my left hand while turning the crank with my right one, and the hand holding it in place on the counter got extremely tired. Even after all of that, a fair amount was still in the hopper, and a surprising amount of powder came out when I disassembled everything to clean it.But the worst part is it doesn’t fulfill its promise. I was expecting this to produce a powder that would dissolve in water. After all, I had it at it’s tightest setting, supposedly producing a powder fine enough that I wouldn’t need to use tea bags or a filter. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case at all. The resulting powder did not dissolve, even in hot liquid, and I had to wait for most of it to settle before drinking my tea. Even then, a fair amount remained floating on the water and I used a spoon to remove as much of it as I could. After waiting so long for it to settle, my tea was tepid and over-brewed. Yuck!

Kyocera Herb and Tea MillI realized pretty quickly into using this, that I was not the intended audience for this product. I was lured in by the promise of being able to grind into a fine powder; something the blender is a bit too big to do efficiently and the mortar and pestle requiring a lot of manpower. What was my goal? To grind up some dried vanilla beans I had leftover from making extract.I know, I know, it’s right in the name, herb and tea, so something more akin of leafy greens. That’s why I’m not rating this product low, it’s my own foibles that led me astray. But I wanted to give the product a fair shot, so I instead turned to some dried tulsi I had on hand to see what I could do with it. After I finally figured out adjusting the grinder (it comes put together somewhat, but the know you can get to lets you set the coarseness by how tight you twist it to the mill plates). Doing so with this, I was able to achieve at first a very rough coarse of the tulsi, and then, as I learned to adjust the plates, a very fine almost powder of them.So that’s great for those that are tea drinkers! But it will have to be part of your ritual to make the tea because this is a manual process that takes time. I went for about a minute and would estimate I got about a thimbleful of powder done; a small thimbleful. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, especially if you want to be mindful about your tea drinking practice. For those of us a little less elegant though, a search for a more efficient method is probably going to be sought out.Review by M. Reynard 2021

Strictly for leavesI expected a lot more from the well-known and respected Kyocera brand. The nearly all plastic materials have a cheap feel. Even the bowl at the bottom is not glass. Mine arrived assembled, though the instructions show you how to assemble it, in detail. Since it is labelled as an HERB as well as tea mill, I had high hopes that it could double with peppercorns, but it cannot. The box makes it more directly clear than the product listing page that it is “not intended for grinding hard foods, including nuts or spices.” For leaves only, it seems a rather high price.Please use AmazonSmile when placing orders so that a small amount can go to your favorite charities, too.

Great, But Time ConsumingI am so used to using a manual coffee grinder that it really never occurred to me how long it would take to grind dried herbs. I wanted this to grind cilantro, for capsules, and I found that it took about a half an hour to do one simple little spice bottle of organic cilantro to a not so fine powder. On the powder setting it seemed to take forever, so I had to set it to a slightly larger size setting. So, you would think, given that, that I would say it’s not that great. Actually, I tested the powder setting and it is super fine powder. I was surprised because another reviewer said it wasn’t very fine powder. I got a very fine powder and promptly realized that they had shipped this out on the very finest setting, so I altered it to try other settings. This does work and works very well, once you get it going. In the beginning, when there wasn’t anything in between the ceramic grinding plates, it seemed to not be doing anything, So, I think that’s why the box says we are supposed to dry-wipe this but not wash it at all. You leave it, when you are done, then you wipe out the interior and when you go to grind something else, you do that until you have cleaned out what is left of the last spice you used it on and you throw the first little bit away. Then you can grind the different spice. I’m actually using this exclusively for cilantro so that won’t be an issue, but it is something to keep in mind if you want to use this for a lot of different things. Another kind of grinder might work better, one that you can wash, if you wish to use it for many different spices. As a grinder for dried herbs, it is wonderful, just as long as you are patient and remember to clean it out with a little of the next batch of herbs you are grinding in it. For my purposes, it’s just perfect. Good luck in your search.

Ceramic Tea MillI use this tea mill with hibiscus flowers, I had these in my kitchen and I grind them to make a tea, the mill works very well, it is easy to assemble and I put the hibiscus flowers inside the cylinder, it is a very easy manual ceramic mill, I place the lid and start moving the handle, hence the tea leaves were grinded , the taste is not lost , because with the ceramic mill, the taste is pure and does not change.Kyocera products are products that one can trust, and with this tea grinder is easy to make your own fresh tea at home.I recommend this product to make tea and not lose the value and flavor of your tea!

Bigger than expectedThis is a good grinder, works well, however, it is much bigger than I was expecting it to be. I thought it would be about the size of a regular spice bottle but with the handle and pot-belly at the bottom. It’s much taller than that and bigger around. Pay close attention to the listed dimensions of this to make sure it’s what you were expecting.

Maximizes Surface Space of Dried Herbs and Dried TeasMaximizes surface space by an order of magnitude. You can build sauces the don’t have anything floating in it.This mill is for dried herbs and teas only. You will damage the grinder by attempting to grind spices. It is not a pepper grinder. You cannot grind celery seeds, coriander or any other hard spice. I will not use it to grind fresh herbs. I have a pestle for that.This is a specialty item. I’ve never seen anything like it. It is terrific for what it is designed to do. It has a beautifully smooth feel to the grind. I will use it to whip flavors into creams, eggs or whatever I can imagine.Besides sauces, I use it to infuse taste, smell and flavor to cooking. I used black tea grind to flavor by inserting between the inside skin and breast of a chicken for unusual and wonderfully delicate results.Kyocera is the premier ceramics company in the world. We have had very high quality Kyocera knives and ginger graters. They are very hard and non-reactive.It certainly is not needed by every cook. It is expensive. But it is hard to get this result with anything else. Even when I grind with a mortar and pestle I don’t get the fineness of grind. The course grind on this is fine. The fine grind is dust.I love to experiment with cooking. This feeds that curiosity.Because I am using dried teas and herbs, rinsing with soapy water is quick and easy.

Missing parts.This appears to be a very nice mill, however, the box arrived without instructions and the grinding handle was missing.
