A single hand operated dual chamber grinder has an actuation mechanism that is in mechanical connection with a chamber selection mechanism. A user selects the desired chamber (e.g., desired spice), using the chamber selection mechanism. Once selected, and upon actuation motion, a grinding assembly specific to the selected chamber is engaged and activated.

What is described is a new grinder, which serves to grind coffee beans and which is embodied as disk grinder. To improve the grinding process, the first and/or second grinding disk, respectively, encompass grinding surfaces that may define an angle of inclination, which may be in each case greater than 90? and smaller than 180?, relative to a tool reference plane.

A coffee beans grinder includes a main body, a dispensing component, a blade unit for grinding coffee beans having a first blade element and a second blade element facing the first blade element, and a dispensing element provided in the dispensing component for feeding coffee beans to a grinding space defined between the first blade element and the second blade element. The first blade element is provided in the main body, and the second blade element is provided in the dispensing component. The dispensing component is removably attached to the main body with a manually-operable engagement element. The second blade element faces the first blade element to define the grinding space therebetween with the dispensing component being attached to the main body with the manually-operable engagement element.

A grinder system facilitates transporting, dispensing, and storing ground herbs, spices, or tobacco after they have been ground.

A grinding device for grindable products includes movable and fixed grinding assemblies. The movable grinding assembly includes a rotationally integral casing and a grinder including a grinding cone with a grinding surface. The fixed grinding assembly includes a counter-grinder and a coupling member. The casing includes a cylindrical jacket and is closed at one end, including openings for dispensing a ground product. The counter-grinder has a hollow cylindrical body with an inner grinding surface. The grinder is inserted into the hollow cylindrical body of the counter-grinder to allow the respective grinding surfaces to cooperate. The coupling member includes an open ended cylindrical body connecting with the container and an adjustment portion cooperating with the casing for adjusting the movable grinding assembly with respect to the fixed grinding assembly. The grinder and the counter-grinder are substantially rigid, and the casing and the coupling member are substantially flexible.
