The Proctor Silex Fresh Grind Coffee Grinder is so simple to use that you'll want to drink flavorful coffee made from freshly ground coffee beans every day. Just press the button to grind coffee and release to stop grinding. The electric coffee grinder is so easy to use, yet there's no need to worry about it being turned on by accident. The built-in interlock prevents the coffee grinder from turning on when the safety on/off button is pressed unless the lid is locked securely in place. The electric coffee bean grinder grinds enough coffee to brew a full pot of coffee or you can grind just enough for a quick cup. The coffee grinder is great for grinding herbs and spices too. Conveniently grind peppercorns, fennel and other herbs and spices for recipes or to keep on hand in the kitchen. Or grind sesame, flax, chia and other seeds for smoothies, protein shakes or to add to food.
