Using the FinaMill could not be easier. Following a super-fast charge (which will reputably last for two months with regular use) take one of the grinding pods, fill it with your spice, set the grind from fine to coarse, with the small screw in its base, click the pod into the mill, press the button and away you go.

How easy is the FinaMill to use?

Ground spices fly out of the grinder and are made easier to see thanks to a small LED light. If you want to switch spices, simply press the mill onto the worktop; it releases the pod, and you are ready to go again. Initially, we struggled to open the pods as the instructions were not explained well, but once we mastered this, everything else was just super simple and easy.

Results

The PRO plus pods included with this model will grind a wide range of smaller spices, including pepper, rock salt, coriander, cumin, fennel and many more. We tested with different grinds and found the mill to be super-efficient and almost effortless in the grinding. On the fine setting, we did have a decent amount of powder with the peppercorns, but some husk did make its way through, too, as it did with the coriander. The cumin seeds were our favourite on the test as they ground down to a lovely powder with very little texture, which is expected and smelled delicious.

Conclusion

The FinaMill is an inventive spice grinder, making grinding spices versatile and easy. It is well-designed, looks good and is an excellent price given its versatility. The grinding was good but not the best, but this is counterbalanced by its ease of use and the possibility of adding more pods.
