Is this grinder able to grind figs for cookies?

I would say no because figs would be very difficult to clean out of the spiral. I really don't know for sure but the Kitchen Aid site may give you a better answer.

I do not believe it would. Some grinders (not multipurpose appliances like Kitchenaid) specifically state they will/will not grind bones.

I have only used it for pepper, but Yes, you can set the grind to quite fine.

I've used it to grind nutmeg, and it works pretty well. You need to put more than one nut into the chamber for it to work well (and it gets pretty noisy), but it will grind it up.

No, I only tried to grind peanuts, it works great.I do not believe it can grind coffee beans properly, just by looking at the blade mechanism.

There is not a grinding attachment that I am aware of. This is more of a chopper, and since it's manual, the primary benefit is that it doesn't chop things up too finely. A motorized food processor would probably be more appropriate for producing flour consistency from almonds or other nuts.

No, but i've used it to grind flax seeds and it worked like a charm, if that helps any.

Yes, but to be honest a good blender or sm food precessor is better, or large depending on how many nuts you'll be grinding at a time!

I would say yes but I'd use a masonry grinder. This is used for smoothing surfaces.

Yes. Like everyone else said, just sharpen it. I took a bench grinder to mine and it is awesome!

No. That grinder is a piece of junk. Don't buy it. I purchased two different grinders under $20.00 and they both burned up within 10 grinds. I finally spent 30-35 dollars for one at Bed bath & beyond, and it works better. It was a cuisine art, I believe...

Its a manual grinder, therefore it would obviously depend on how fast you crank the handle.

I don't think it would be good for that. its light weight plastic. I would just use a bench grinder for that.

As far as I can tell it is. I love this grinder. I make my own dog food that calls for turkey gizzards. The butcher at the store said his wouldn't handle them, but this puts them through no problem!

It will grind it to a point. Not to flour consistency. Might work for what your looking to do.

Yes. This is a high quality, heavy duty cutter. I haven't done sweets in it, though I'm certain it will handle them.

Yes, but grind it coarse first, then fine if wanted. Coffee beans are a little sticky.
