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.

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.

The present disclosure discloses a double-material grinder for grinding materials comprising a housing and a grinding component. The housing comprises a first housing and a second housing removably attached to each other to form a closed cavity. The first housing comprises a vertical baffle. The grinding component comprises a first grinding unit arranged in the first chamber and a second grinding unit arranged in the second chamber. A blanking gap of the first grinding unit corresponds to the first blanking hole. A blanking gap of the second grinding unit corresponds to the second blanking hole. The second housing comprises a driving unit to drive the first grinding unit and the second grinding unit. The mouth for adding materials is open and substantially larger than those of other two-material grinders so that replenishing of materials becomes easier and mixture of different materials is completely prevented.

Provided is a grinder tumbler. The grin tumbler includes a containing unit having a space there inside for receiving and containing, a beans container partially inserted into the containing space of the containing unit and storing coffee beans there inside, a mill being installed inside the beans container and functioning to grind coffee beans, and a covering unit detachably installed to the containing unit while covering the mill.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and apparatus for grinding spices and grains. One system includes a mill for grinding a spice or grain material, comprising a body and a handle rotatably coupled to the body. The handle is also coupled to an input of a speed boost assembly. An output of the speed boost assembly is coupled to a grind assembly, which includes a rasp. The speed boost assembly is configured to cause the rotational frequency of the rasp to be greater than a rotational frequency of the handle.

A grinder for a spice mill, in particular a hand-operated spice mill, having an inlet side for entry of unground grinding stock and an outlet side for the exit of ground grinding stock, including a rotor, a stator interacting with the rotor and a housing at least partially surrounding the rotor and/or stator. The housing includes a stator housing part, which is substantially rotationally fixedly connected to the stator, and a rotor housing part which is rotatable relative to the stator housing part and is substantially rotationally fixedly connected to the rotor via a connecting element. The connecting element is at least partially received in a recess in the rotor, and the connecting elements and the rotor are frictionally connected. The housing has, on a side of the rotor facing the inlet side, a blocking element which blocks displacement of the rotor in the direction of the inlet side.
