   I bough this Grinder since it claim to be sesame grinder, but after I used it I found the sesame powder from it is not acceptable for food, they are too rough, I’m not able to eating it neither my baby, and also the grider plate (2 peieces to crack sesame is platstic, the will not last long!) btw you have to buy 4 AA batter.

   I contacted fast_nickel because the product they sent does not do what it is supposed to do: the Zojirushi CB-AA10 Sesame Grinder does not grind sesame seeds. Fast_nickel has not responded to my inquiry. I would not buy from them again even though the delivery was prompt.

   This little machine is a great way of adding (great) flavor to foods with a minimum of effort. It does a wonderful job grinding ROASTED SESAME SEEDS (either white or black sesame, but only for ROAST sesame–it probably won’t work for anything else). It grinds quickly, does not clog up, and has three settings to control how finely the seeds are ground. It is easy to take apart, clean, and put back together again; your ground sesame will never taste stale. It also includes a little brush for cleaning.

   From a functionality standpoint, you pick it up, flick off the soft plastic spout cover, press the grind button as you wave the device over the food, and then swing the cover back in place when you’re done. Moreover, you can do all of that with one hand after a minimum of practice. The result is spectacular–the taste and smell of cracked seeds are far richer than those of whole seeds–and can instantly transform otherwise uninteresting steamed veggies, rice, etc. into something memorable.

   On a personal note, I have a lot of Japanese cooking paraphernalia (e.g., oyako nabe, miso strainers, tamagoyaki nabe, daikon grinder, 3 x neural network / fuzzy logic-controlled rice cookers, etc.) but this grinder quickly became my favorite.

   Finally, please note that the alternative, i.e., grinding sesame seeds by hand in a suribachi (a specialized, grooved ceramic mortar), gets old VERY quickly. Using the Zojirushi grinder is trivially easy in comparison!

   I haven’t tried it for anything other than grinding roasted sesame seeds. That’s what I bought it. Its speed really beats that of the hand cranked manual kind, which takes a very long time to accumulate the amount of ground seed I need for my Korean recipes.

   You can’t blame the machine for not doing what it was not designed to do. It’s supposed to grind ROASTED SESAME SEEDS. And for that, it does a perfect job. I use it all the time to grind roasted sesame seeds onto my pasta, rice, soba noodles, etc. I’ve had it for many years now and it keeps on working like a charm. (Sesame seeds are nutritionally more valuable when ground up since otherwise the seeds tend to make it through your digestive system intact.)
