I was for some time in search of a mill for spices and herbs (dry). The result is not yet to beat. With a dehydrator I dry vegetables, among other things as beetroot, onion, leek, celery .. ect With the percussion can be together with salt to such a fine powder grind that I can make my own instant soups (boiling water on it!). All dry spices can be ground so fine. Fresh herbs I did not try, but I do anyway with the knife or chopping knife.
