Bought this primarily for coffee beans.I don’t drink coffee often so to ensure freshness I like to grind beans as use.My previous grinder broke and was look for new one.The first things that draws you to this model is the design very modern and streamlined ( next to my milk frother looks great) but looks are no good if can’t do job,luckily this is more than up to job a quick read of instructions (very clear instructions and very straightforward) and off you go.It ground enough coffee for my morning cup in seconds,also very quietly.I happily give this 5stars.Can also be used for spices,nuts but I would get another if wanted to grind spice as although this model is very simple to clean I found grinding spices tends to leave aftertaste that goes into coffee even after cleaning but just my opinion
