This Italian mill grinder is made of ABS thermoplastic making it light, rigid, and impact-resistant. The machine is labeled “Coffee Mill” and, indeed, it does grind coffee beans efficiently to the consistency of your choice. This does not mean, however, that it can only grind coffee beans. It can also grind spices and condiments with an efficiency equal to that with which it grinds coffee beans.
The La Pavoni PA-1403-B features stainless steel blades within a stainless steel chamber that are both guaranteed to last. The chamber is covered with a lid that locks into place thus preventing any accidental opening and spilling of the chamber’s contents. This lid is transparent to allow you to see into the grinding chamber to check the grinding progress.
Grinding is as easy as ABC. Simply scoop in the coffee beans, or spices, or condiments; attach and rotate the lid to lock it; and depress the push-button switch to activate the grinder motor; check the grounds for consistency, and if they are still too coarse for your purposes, press the switch again. Keep doing this until you have reached your desired ground fineness. After grinding, simply wipe the lid and grinding chamber with a damp clean cloth.
The grinder measures 4 x 4 x 7 inches making it a small machine that can be left on your work table or counter top.
