We will be in touch
Wife fancies one as we make a lot of curries etc
Had a look at a few on amazon but the reviews are mixed.
Anyone got one they can recommend?
And before anyone says, we have a pestle and mortar.
We used to have a cheap coffee grinder whiich worked but was impossible to clean we used so now we use one of these:

It's actually remarkably capable as a blender and a spice grinder. The reviews on there are a bit mixed but it's done five years thus far and gets used several times a week. We are careful with the motor and the blade connection though.
I'm really struggling with this, shirely cleaning the grinder blades must be a ball ache? (like the a hand held blender, it can't be submerged)
BTW the Aldi one get decent reviews
What about a porlex mini? Ceramic burs and stainless steel so you should be able to rinse it. Obviously wouldn't use it for leafy spices/herbs where you need a blade grinder for that but seeds will be ground better with proper burrs and probably more efficient than a pestle and mortar and better grind than any blade grinder.

My friend's got one of those. Always seems happy using it.
I'm no expert, but I believe that's for herbs rather than spices.
