Question 1

After grinding spices, how do you clean it?

Accepted Answer

I used the little sprayer on my sink to rinse it out. NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!! There is no seal that protects the motor. After a few times of rinsing, the motor wouldn't start. I shook the device and could hear water in the lower chamber. This is a great grinder otherwise! I grind up spices, herbs and coffee. I will get one strictly for coffee and another for herbs and spices and no more rinsing!

Question 2

Does anyone know if this grinder works well at grinding flaxseed?

Accepted Answer

I grind flax seed with this grinder.  It turns flax seed in to a fine pulp I use for my smoothies.  I use two tablespoons of flax seeds in this grinder at a time, pulse it a few times and then run it continuously for about 10 or so seconds and the flax seeds are nicely ground.

Question 3

Is the inside plastic or metal/glass?  If it is plastic, does it chip or cloud over time?

Accepted Answer

The bottom of the bowl where the blade is, is metal for about 1/2" to 3/4" in the deepest part in the center.  Above that it is white plastic and the smoky colored plastic cap fits down into this area while grinding.  My new grinder has no chipping, and my old Krups grinder, (same design, purchased and used since the mid '80's!) has only one tiny bit of chipping on the very edge of the plastic cap. But it was used daily grinding coffee beans. My old grinder has held up over those 30 years better than I have. LOL!  The cap on my old grinder did not cloud up over time.

Question 4

Can you fine grind for espresso?

Accepted Answer

This Q&A section applies to both the Krups F203 Blade grinder and the Krups GX5000 Burr grinder. (Not sure why Amazon insists on grouping reviews and questions for disimular items.) If you are asking about the F203 blade grinder, then no, it is not recommended for pump espresso machines. A burr grinder (the GX5000) should give you a more consistent fine grind with less powder.
