Can it be used for just grinding, like for Gerson Therapy first step? (in conjunction with a juice press) Thanks.

Hi, I just look at the Gerson Therapy and I think for that you need a heavier juicer because you deal with fruit, vegetables, etc. If you are only using like Wheat Grass, or Horse Tail, or watercress, etc. to get the chlorophyll, then this Lexen item will be good.

I do not recommend using this juice press for grinding. It is designed for pressing juice from vegetation. Actually it is good specifically for wheat grass.

Sorry, I didn't try it yet. I imagine you must peel off skin and grind it the same to get juices.

As with any grinding device, the shorter the pulse the courser the grind. I use this grinder for spices so I normally like a very fine grind so I pulse the button quite a few times. If I just press the grind button once or twice momentarily, the grind is much courser. I would also think that it also depends on what you are grinding. This is a very good grinder so I would give it a try. With some trial and error, you should be able to do what you want. Good luck.

The Ninja does an excellent job at grinding stuff but coffee, I'm not sure if the blades would reach the bottom enough to do that well of a job. I guess it depends on how much coffee your going to grind.

We do not use it for fine grinds-- just coarser, as for French press coffee. We have a different grinder we like for fine grinding.

I have used it with a French press. You can adjust the size of the grind by unscrewing the knob on the top of the handle. Then rotate the grinding wheel up or down for coarser or finer grounds.

I have only used it to grind coffee to a fine grind. I don't know the answer to your question.

I would say yes if not tooo fine a grind. It is a fine mesh and if you've ever use a coffee press you would probably get same effect. I haven't done it myself because I don't drink coffee so I don't see why not. Finished pot should contain no grounds. Not to mention that when I was young, my grandmother use to make great coffee by putting the grounds in empty egg shells. The coffee stayed pretty settled at the bottom of the pot inside the egg shells and you poured carefully. So this should work.

its not really that kind of grinder, its mostly for tobacco products. However if you first cut the cinnamon into short sections I would imagine it could work. that said its it intended mostly as a smoker's accessory for those of us who like to roll our own blends. hope this helps!

Thanks for responding, I don't think I'm going to find a machine that does what I want. Back to grinding by hand!

I've used it for potassium nitrate and some other compounds, it's OK for small amounts. You will get carpal tunnel if you're trying to grind more than a few ounces though.

We use ours with a frech press and only grind for 6 seconds. It isn't completely unifrorm, but it works for an inexpensive grinder.

It is designed to be a grinder not a little blender so i wouldn't risk it. Would it not be just as easy to add water.? I see you have an indian name so you are likely to have a pestle and mortar to wet-grind by hand affter dry grinding?

I don't see why not, the mesh is fine enough for a very fine grind coffee, tea leaf is generally larger than coffee. The tea leaf could make it difficult to press all the way down but backing it up a little and pressing down again should clear the screen for a full press. Myself I just put tea in a Qt jar in the fridge and have a concentrate that I use hot or cold.

Yes. The product will work just fine for coffee bean grinding. I use it to produce snus which is a powdered form of tobacco dip. In fact, you can use it to produce cayenne pepper power, etc. as well.

This is a dry substance mill only, and trying to use it with oily or wet substances will cause a gummy mess to form between the grinding plates. The plates must then be pulled out and cleaned. There are specialty machines for the purpose you suggest, but this is not one of them. The Piteba expeller has fair marks for small scale home use.

In my opinion it's for light weight grinding. That's what I use it for and I have no complaints; it does what I need it to do.
