Do I use the same bowl for coffee vs. spices vs. vitamins or is one better over the other?

Each bowl has a different type of blade. One blade is for chopping and has sharp points. The other blade is for grinding as for coffee beans. I've only used the chopping bowl once for nuts and it was very efficient. I grind coffee beans every day in the other and it does a fabulous job. I would think that changing uses for any of the bowls would be a matter of cleaning between uses. However the secret of using this product is to never grind/chop for more than a few seconds at a time. I just pause for a moment in between 3-5 seconds of use.

First of all I wouldn't use this unit for coffee "chopping", for that you should look at a burr-grinder. And yes, the unit uses the same stainless steel easy to clean bowl for everything. Powerful unit, goes through nuts and allspice the same way as through parsley or basilikum! You need to develop "your touch" for fine-tuning

It depends on how fine you want to grind it. The dual blade coarse grinds and I mostly use it for coffee and nuts. I use the four blades for spices when I want something finely ground. I hope this helps.

We didn't get to use ours, it had Ana eclectically based malfunction after day 4. We sent it back. The return was easy and they apologized and offered to replace. There are two different bowls for coffee and spice.

I wouldn't recommend using the same grinder for spices and coffee. You may be able to clean this one, but not good enough to switch back and forth from spices to coffee. I wash the removable cup with dish soap and wipe the blade with a damp paper towel.

I make both with mine. Primarily coffee (several a day) but have done espresso on numerous occasions. The advantage is that your cup is always fresh and its done in an environmentally responsible way.

Yeah pretty much the same thing. The only different is, if you like the two combine as taste rather than one alone, plus it can help you save money for combing into one healthy mix of good fats rather than buying them separately. But that's just my IMO. Hope it was helpful.

I guess it is all personal preferences. It is depend on what do you want in your kitchen- look, size, quality, material e.t.c. With this one you get everything in one. If you don't have much space on your counter-top go with one size smaller otherwise get this 3-4 cup mortar and do not think of nothing else.

I use at least 2 heaping tablespoons per cup, it kind of varies on taste preference.

Use a rich dark roasted coffee. I like Arabica myself. If you use a dark roast and your coffee nectar. if this is too rich for you, youcan always cut it with a bit of water.

Citz with Milk is more compact -- takes less cabinet space -- makes a terrific cup of coffee. :-)My personal preference.

I've used both. The only downside I've found here is texture. This brand is very powdery to the point of being messy. The taste is good.

I personally think the Nutrimill is easier to clean, as the only thing that gets dirty really is the top hopper and the bottom bowl, both of which clean up easily, and it's very practical because you can use it at different settings for other things, and it takes up less space on the counter too.

To me it taste great and is a staple in my diet around an ounce a day. For some this quantity is too much. Also it is not a food you have on its own. How do you have it, for example mix with banana and papaya and Tahini in shake. Some people like it with Miso in hot water. while it has all the nutrients, it needs to be taken with other foods to give an alchemical balance, i.e., so that it is not a bland energy. I just noticed that you are having tablets. The powder is much better for mixing with other foods. Tablets are not that great.

Yes, that is how I use it, plus in cooking. I find that it tends to settle to the bottom of the cup over time (I drink my coffee in a 32 ounce thermal cup) but if you drink it faster I don't think that would be a problem. I just stir it every so often and it's fine. It really isn't cheaper to buy creamer, and it has all kinds of stuff that I don't want to drink. Since it is nonfat, there really aren't any calories in that small an amount, plus you get calcium and Vitamins A and D. We don't drink milk, so the powdered works well for us all around.

I always grind my coffee very fine. This way you can use less coffee yet get maximum flavor.

the nutrients really come out in the steeping process. if you ground it in a spice grinder or bullet blender first, you might be okay. but it's too hard to process fully in a standard blender.

I think there's a world of difference. The biggest plus is that there's no HUGE pot to wash. Secondly, there's no wait for the water to boil, wasting expensive electricity. There's no constant mixing, no muss, no fuss. Put it in the microwave, then take it out. And there's no difference in taste. I love it!

taste is similar. but, it takes quite a bit more product to make the same amount of cooked cereal. not sure about the nutritional benefits, i will only buy the longer cooking type next time.

Ive used both when I make paella and I found it to be the same quality and taste. :-)
