How does the Ball & Chain grinding work?

A metal ball on a chain spins inside the chamber and strikes the contents until they break down. It is one-touch: you load the chamber, press the button, and the chain does the work.

What can I grind in it?

Dried spices and herbs are its purpose. Wet, oily or sticky ingredients are not what the chain-and-ball design is made for and will clog or coat the chamber.

Does the storage container come with it?

Yes. The bundle pairs the Mini Wakit with the Wakit Storage Container, which attaches to the grinder, collects the ground contents, and can be carried separately.

How is the Mini different from the full-size Wakit grinder?

It is the compact, travel-ready version of the same design, so it holds less per load and is easier to pack. Choose the full-size model if you grind larger batches at home.

How do I power and recharge it?

It runs on a built-in rechargeable battery, so there is no cord while grinding. Recharge it between uses so it does not run down mid-batch.

Is it good for coffee?

It is sold for spices and herbs, and the chain-and-ball action gives a less uniform grind than a burr grinder. For consistent coffee, a burr grinder is the better tool.
