Last refreshed Jun 15, 2026 · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
A capable small-batch spice grinder for dry spices, but treat the commercial and high-rpm claims with the duty-cycle limit in mind rather than as continuous-use specs.

Overview
Waring built this electric spice grinder around a roughly 19,000 rpm motor and 1.5 cup stainless bowl, meant for whole dry spices like peppercorns, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and nuts.
Waring markets this as commercial equipment, and it comes with 3 stainless steel grinding bowls with lids so you can swap between spices without washing between batches. One detailed review contradicts the commercial billing though: Waring's own support reportedly limits continuous use to 60 seconds followed by 15 to 20 minutes of cooldown, a meaningful constraint for actual commercial volume.
- 1.5 cup capacity, 3 bowls included
- Roughly 19,000 rpm motor
- Pulse actuation with safety interlock lid
- Stainless steel blades and housing
Who it's for
Fits home cooks and small food businesses grinding whole spices in batches, especially anyone who wants separate bowls to avoid cross-contaminating flavors. Less suited to continuous high-volume grinding given the reported cooldown requirement.
Pros and cons
- Handles hard spices like nutmeg and dried peppers well
- Three stainless bowls with lids double as storage
- Easy to clean between uses
- Runs hot and can overheat with extended use
- Reported need for cooldown breaks despite commercial billing
- Grinding takes longer for large bulk batches
