Zassenhaus Cast Iron 3" Spice Grinder with Beech Wood Lid

Zassenhaus Cast Iron 3" Spice Grinder with Beech Wood Lid

Compact cast iron spice grinder with textured grinding surfaces, beechwood storage lid, and three-piece manual construction

The Zassenhaus Cast Iron 3" Spice Grinder gives you the weight and control of cast iron for grinding whole spices, peppercorns, dried chilies, and seeds. Its two textured cast iron components work together to crush hard ingredients through a simple twisting motion, while the compact size is easy to handle for everyday seasoning. A natural beechwood lid with a silicone seal lets you keep freshly ground spices in the same container until needed.

Freshly Ground Spices with Cast Iron Control

The Zassenhaus Spice Buddy uses the substantial weight of cast iron to help break down whole spices without an electric grinder. Place your ingredients in the outer bowl, insert the inner grinding piece, and twist the two textured surfaces together. The grinding action lets you control the texture, from roughly crushed peppercorns and coriander seeds to finer spice mixtures.

Its compact 3.25-inch diameter is particularly useful for small batches of cumin, fennel, mustard seeds, dried chilies, and homemade spice blends. The nested design helps keep ingredients contained while grinding, making it an alternative to a traditional mortar and pestle.

When you have finished, the outer bowl doubles as a storage container. The natural beechwood lid includes a silicone seal to help preserve the aroma of your freshly prepared spices. The contrasting black cast iron and light wood also make the grinder attractive enough to keep within reach on the countertop.

No electricity required: The simple mechanical design works anywhere you have a stable surface.

From Our Founder

"I like this smaller Spice Buddy for grinding just what you need. The cast iron has enough weight to handle hard seeds and peppercorns, and the twisting action keeps everything contained. The beechwood lid is a particularly useful detail because you can make a small batch of seasoning and keep the remainder right in the bowl."
