A electronic grinder includes a main body and a grinding and dispensing chamber. The top of the main body open but covered by a cap. The main chamber includes a motor connected to a magnetically attached removable blade and propeller. The blade and propeller extend into the chamber when the grinder is assembled. When the cap is closed, the blade and propeller grinds material placed in the chamber and pull air down toward the blade and propeller. When the cap is opened, the blade and propeller function as a fan to generate airflow toward the top of the chamber to dispense ground material out of the chamber. The grinder can also include a microcontroller, a communications device, an infrared volume sensor, a scale, an audible buzzer, a vibration buzzer, and one or more sanitizing LED lights.

A modular food dispensing device comprising a food container configured to contain and dispense a food product, a drive module for mechanically driving the food container to dispense the food product, and one or more magnets provided on one or both of the food container and drive module for releasably connecting the food container and drive module. The drive module is releasably connectable to the food container to selectively form a mechanical linkage for transmitting a driving force from the drive module to the food container to dispense the food product.

Actuators and interchangeable cartridges that achieve a grinding or grating different substances without cross-contamination. The actuators and cartridges are disclosed are uniquely designed for ready push-on, push-off mounting in a manner that affords proper alignment of the cartridge in the actuator. The cartridges may include a container portion and a mount portion, each with a grinding element arranged at an output thereof. As the container and mount portions move relative to one another, their respective grinding elements move, achieving a grinding or grating of substances in the container. Various embodiments and variations are disclosed.
