Does it grind flax seeds?

Oh, I'm sure it will. Flax seeds are pretty small, so I am sure it will do a good job.

I did not grind flax seeds - so I don't know. It is a good chopper which I use mainly for vegetables.

I have no direct knowledge about whether it will grind flax seeds or not... I only use it to chop veg and it does a wonderful job. But, that being said, I have never tried to pulverize any veg items and am assuming that pulverizing is what you may be looking for. If I had some, I would try for you - but I don't! Update: just ground some of my daughter's croutons (on high, PUREE) and it did pretty well... more or less a coarse grind. So, if you are looking to accomplish that plus chop some veg, it's a dandy little device.

I think the mini seed mill will do coffee but for sure not the large mill. So far I have only used the small grinder for spices. The large mill will only grind dry grain nothing that is wet or oily such as flax seeds or nuts.

It does a good job on everything I've tried, but I haven't tried flaxseeds. It grinds fine as dust or coarse for pepper. Small and doesn't take a big space for storage. Sorry about not having your answer.

Yes, it is an excellent flax seed grinder! That's all I do with my grinder.

I tried grinding chia seed. It didn't do well. On a fine setting, the seed didn't go through, and stayed in the grinding burr. Any other settings, and the seed would fall through. I tried grinding the seed on several different settings, with no luck. I think it's too oily for this grinder. Chia is a lot smaller than flax, but they both have a lot of oil.

Without a problem. I use it to grind all of my spices, even hard to grind seeds like flax seed and chia seeds. It really handles everything I have put in it- including peppercorns!

No, but my experience was that this grinder doesn't grind consistently anyway and sent it back. To the best of my knowledge there is a hamilton beach grinder that does that.

I'm not sure, but it seems that the spacing between each blade may be too wide and the tiny little flaxseeds would just fall through. I've never tried to grind flaxseeds, but I went to youtube and found this video (and another one) that showed a coffee grinder doing a fine job.........check here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-XdpiZ2-S8

I have ground flax seeds and it RUINED the machine!!!! There is too much oil in the seeds. So NO you cannot grind flax seeds!

Perfect for flax seeds. Use it on my granola each morning. Note, it doesn't grind much with each twist. Takes me about 30 turns or so to get a tablespoon of ground flax seeds. Very smooth action and quality construction.

It would probably not grind fennel, poppy or sesame seeds. It does a great job on fresh herbs.

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.

Have never used it for the seeds you have listed, but know it will grind coffee beans up to an almost dust.Have enjoyed it, when I do decided to grind coffee beans.

yes it will grind nuts, be sure to have the plastic lid on since it will grind it as fine as you wish.

I would say yes it will grind flax seed. It can make coffee beans in to a very fine grind for slow auto drip. It can make a cup, maybe a little more of ground product.

Good question! I'm assuming it would work since the seeds are hard. The fact that there are different settings to chop finer or thicker would also lead me to think yes, it would work. I would try and tell you but my flax seed is already ground!! Good luck. I will say I love this pepper grinder and am considering getting a second for salt. The product is great!

Yes it will grind spices. The manual lists these spices in its guidelines: Peppercorns, Cinnamon Sticks, Whole Cloves, Coriander Seeds, Flax Seed. It does not say anything about those being the 'only' kinds of spices to use, so, I think that any kind of spices that are similar in structure to those (or coffee beans) should be fine. As for amounts, it lists "up to 4 tablespoons"; that will give you an idea of the capacity for each grinding.
