Nutmeg grinders are much easier to use than graters, and this one has room to store plenty of nutmegs as well. Good value for the money.

Very handy for the cooking enthusiasts. We reccomend this item!

I buy one for my mom and then my aunt like , en up buying 5 is super good for fresh ground nutmeg.

I use nutmeg a lot. For baking. Making spaghetti sauces and casseroles. Fondues. I grated it using a microplane and while the results were snowy fine and desirable, the scrapes on my fingers were not. So I purchased this nutmeg grater based on the reviews.The grater holds 5-6 whole nutmegs. You put 1-2 in the center where the action takes place, close the two halves and grind away.The results were outstanding — at first. Comparable to the microplane but without the pain. I was thrilled. I merrily grated away as I cooked my large pots of spaghetti sauce.However, like a relationship with a flawed person, you can’t expect it to last. When the flaws are discovered, it’s all you can do to fix the relationship. Not gonna happen.For example, closing it (within a few months) soon became an exercise in sheer strength and will. This is because the nuts in the middle tube are held in place by a spring that is on the hefty gauge side that pushes them into the grating blade. You have to fight pushing the spring down to get the two halves to match then twist them to engage two miniscule pieces that get it to stay closed. It stood up to it but that’s about its only good feature. It’s a PITA to use.The nutmeg in the center needs constant adjustment in order to get it to grate at all, and when one nut starts to get a little flat, it doggedly refuses to grate at all. You need more than one nut in the center for it to grate because the spring in the center only goes down so far to out pressure on the nut. So I found myself constantly adjusting the nuts. But the grater nowo crushes the nutmeg as opposed to grating it, and instead of the nutmeg snow I wanted for my pies, spaghetti sauces and lasagna, I found myself fishing small chunks out of my red sauce and pies.I’m the kind of person whose glass is always half full. I clung to the hope that if I just tried this or adjusted that, it would return to producing snowy piles of nutmeg for my cooking. I gave the thing innumerable chances to get straight and fly right. I tried different positioning of the nuts, different numbers of nuts in the middle and filling in the sides with the remnants of nuts it grated before. No dice.Now it is taking up space in my gadget drawer acting as a holder for my whole nutmeg, which is comical. I take a nut out, grate it on the microplane and put the unused portion back in the grater, fighting to twist it closed. And because it is about 4”x3” with a rotating handle on top, it is taking up a lot of space. Silly.Summary: don’t waste your money. Get a better quality grater or use a microplane. And buy some bandaids.

My sister had this grinder. I love to grind nutmeg on my coffee. This is so easy to load and grind. It even stores my extra nuggets. It’s pretty enough to leave in my coffee bar!

Grinds beautifully but only for smaller to medium size nutmeg seeds/ pods/ stones? Anything larger and the spring plunger just won't go down.
