A spice mill part, more particularly a spice mill lower part, for a spice mill, having a housing, which consists at least in part of a plastic material and which can be rotatably connected to a further spice mill part, more particularly a spice mill upper part. A receiving element is provided on the housing, in which receiving element there is arranged a milling element being particularly a milling ring, made from a ceramic material, with the milling element being clamped in the receiving element in a frictionally engaged manner by a compressive force directed substantially radially inwardly and acting on a self-contained outer bearing face of the milling element, the compressive force acting substantially along the entire circumference on the external bearing face of the milling element.

An upper part for a spice mill at least partly of a plastic material includes an upper cover surface with at least one opening, in particular a through-opening for ground spices, a circumferential lateral surface, and a milling element or a mounting for the milling element. A preferably elastically deformable snap-action element, by which the upper part can be rotatably connected to a lower part, is arranged so as to be flush with the opening in plan view.

A container apparatus includes a container body and a container lid. The container body defines a first internal cavity. The container lid is attached to the container body and defines a second internal cavity. The container lid includes protrusions extending within the second internal cavity to grind solid materials.

A grinding assembly for grinding a partially dried or a dried substance is described. The assembly include a first component, a second component, a chamber component, a disc component, a first magnetic component, and a second magnetic component. The first magnetic component maintains a magnetic connection with the second magnetic component to affix the first component to the chamber component. Upon user rotation of the first component, a first set of protrusions of the first component are moved such that the first set of protrusions engage a second set of protrusions of the chamber component to grind the substance. In response to such rotation, the substance is ground into a much thicker consistency that resembles a hand-broken consistency. The ground substance falls through a plurality of openings of the chamber component into the second component for storage.

A dispenser for a first solid flowable material and a second flowable material, including an actuator for providing rotational motion on a shaft. A first reservoir holds the first material, and a second reservoir holds the second material. A metering unit selectively passes at least one of the first material and the second material. A grinder grinds the at least one of the first material and the second material passed by the metering unit.
