A <$20 grinder wouldn't be good enough to use on coffee anyway.
Conical burr or bust!
Roger that! Got one when my stepdad passed. He loved his coffee, and had an amazing grinder.
They work well on seeds, tho'.
For sure!
The difference is that you aren't trying to percolate water through spices like you are with coffee, so the grind size isn't so critical. With coffee, if the grind is uneven you end up with "channels" instead of the water flowing through evenly, so some parts of the coffee ends up over-extracted while other parts end up under-extracted, and you end up with more sour and bitter flavors than it's supposed to have.
Or so they say, anyway. I'm not actually a coffee snob myself -- I drink instant with a bunch of cream and sugar, LOL -- I just like James Hoffman YouTube videos.
