I'm looking for the fastest pepper grinder, one that will grind the most in the shortest time without going electric, how much will grind in 5 seconds?

I can grind enough pepper to add to a receipe, or enough pepper to add to two finished dishes in 5 seconds. I've really never measured the output, but it does a pretty excellent job.

when i grind pepper corns, i strive for "cracked pepper", but i always get a bit of "fine ground" even though i check the results after each pulse. that's to be expected with a blade type processor. i'm happy with the resulting "mix".

I like Fresh ground pepper so I don't put in much more than I'm going to use. I doesn't seem to make any difference to the grinder how much there is in it.

Depending on your preference, roast, and beans used, I'd say around 25 seconds. It does not have a grind timer, so you get to stand there with your finger on the button and let the noise, aroma, and anticipation carry you away!

If you look at my short vidxeo you will see that it does not give a powder fine grind of pepper. Although you can grind salt (ceramikc mechanism) it is a much harder spice than pepperm The grind will be even coarser.

Hi S,I have not compared the output rate of the grinder. But the National Public Radio program, America's test Kitchen or atkradio.com, they included the time it took to grind 2 TBS and they rated it highly.

I would not think so. It's a lousy pepper grinder; grinds well, but is sometimes impossible to stop. The switch sticks at "on." I'd try something else, perhaps the Cuisinart Miniblender. Great for small processing tasks like pesto, and for grinding spices. For the latter, though, I usually use a ceramic mortar and pestle. Oddly satisfying to grind away with a bit of elbow grease.

There are several small grinders available. For flavor, the best ones use low speed, toothed grinding mechanisms (similar to the old fashioned hand grinders) rather than fast spinning blades. The blades make a lot of powder and heat the beans, so they loose the delicate flavors and scents. The good ones are called "Burr Mills" and are significantly more expensive than the blade type. You can get a Cookinex Coffee Grinder with stainless blades for $8.00 but the cheapest burr type I've seen is the Mr. Coffee BVMC-BMH23 Automatic Burr Mill Grinder for $35.00. Both are found on Amazon.

Can't give you a per hour estimate but I ground 5 lbs. in about 12 minutes. Using a course grind but grinding the meat a second time. HTH.

I chose this grinder over a cheap electric one because it is easy to use, is completely manually operated so there can never be a problem with an electric motor giving out. These grinders, electric or manual, are for small amounts (enough coffee grounds to make a pot of fresh coffee) and I will buy this one again if I ever need another one.

It depends on how fine you are grinding. The smaller grinds take a little longer. But either way a minute or two.

Not sure but it won't take much. This grinder kicks as s. Best one on the market in my opinion.

I really think you would be satisfied with this pepper mill. It has 3 settings. The coarse setting will usually cut the peppercorns in half. I call them chunks!! I love the way you can set it to come on automatically whenever you turn it upside down. Just have to remember to turn it off when you add batteries or peppercorns. This is the 3rd electric mill I've had and it's the first one I've been pleased with. Hope you find it satisfactory as well.

Just regular black peppercorns is what I use. Try loosing the brass nut at the top. If it feels tight, then it won't grind. It should be a little loose.

This grinder has one speed and has no settings for coarse or fine etc. You control how fine something is ground by varying the grind time... or by pulsing the button manually. It's a good sturdy grinder and would likely grind up any spices that you might want to put in it though.

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.

A few minutes. It takes about six minutes to grind enough coffee for 12 cups. I grind the coffee for the morning while I am watching the evening weather and I grind somewhere between standard drip and espresso grind, a bit finer than regular drip but a small bit coarser than full espresso. There is a caution that the manufacturer states to not grind fast. I grind about 100 rpm, a bit faster than a turn and a half a second. But the taste of the coffee that it grinds is notably better than with a blade grinder, chopper, or even the best electric burr grinder, in my opinion.
