Greengo acrylic grinder 50 mm in recycled plastic
This is a plain grinder for people who would rather not make a project out of it. It measures 50 mm across, weighs around 40 grams and is made from recycled plastic in a dark marbled shade, with the round Greengo label reading 100% natural on the lid. The material is translucent, so you can see how far the grind has got without opening it up. Greengo is a Dutch brand best known for unbleached rolling papers and biodegradable filter tips, and this grinder sits in the same line.
The grinder comes apart into three pieces. The grinding chamber sits at the top, with pyramid-shaped teeth that mesh as soon as you twist the two halves against each other. Below it is a catch chamber that collects the ground material, so you can tip everything out at once instead of picking it from between the teeth. That chamber doubles as a small amount of storage for when you are out. Do not expect a pollen screen: those sit in larger, usually metal models. Plastic teeth are also less hard than metal ones, so a metal grinder turns more comfortably through very sticky or tough material. For everyday work with dried herb this model does the job, and as a spare or a bag grinder it costs you little.
Use and cleaning
Lay your dried herb between the teeth rather than on the centre post, put the lid on and turn it back and forth a few times. Then twist the bottom section off and tip it out. Clean the grinder every so often, because residue between the teeth makes turning harder: tap it out, brush the teeth with a stiff brush or an old toothbrush and rinse the loose parts in lukewarm water if needed. Avoid boiling water and harsh cleaning products, which can leave acrylic dull or cracked. Let the parts dry completely before you put them back together.
