The present invention is directed to a hand-held modular kitchen multitool having a universal powerhead capable of being used with a variety of kitchen appliance attachments, such as a blender, a whisker, a wine opener, a can opener, and a spice grinder. A dual spice grinder attachment is also disclosed that can select one of two spices to grind. Also disclosed is a wine opener that automatically removes a cork from a bottle.

A novel device for hand grinding coffee is disclosed. The device preferably includes a base, a stanchion disposed about the base, and a gear box, a burr collar, and a flywheel each extending away from the stanchion. The flywheel includes a handle for turning it. The device further includes a gear mechanism including a main driven shaft. The main driven shaft extends downward from the gear box. There also is a burr mechanism driven by the gear mechanism. The device may include a variable transmission mechanism having a first gear set and a second gear set selectively engageable to drive the main driven shaft. The device may also include a tumbler having a ground chamber. A distribution member is configured to rotate within the ground chamber of the tumbler during operation of the device.

Grinder-doser device for coffee beans includes a body which internally houses an electric motor, having a shaft, which is integral in rotation with the lower grinder holder to which the lower grinder is joined, said lower grinder holder, and said lower grinder being housed inside a head which has a horizontal annular seat in the lateral edge, which houses an upper grinder. The upper grinder being formed by a toothed annular portion housed inside a hollow annular portion, which in turn is surrounded by an annular portion, which rests on the annular seat. The flat upper surface of the upper grinder is rectified and collimated with the plane passing through the ends of the teeth of the toothed portion.
