COOL KNIGHT
Seven machines, one blade design, and the same dozen questions every week — grouped by what you are actually trying to work out.
Four of them are the 7.5-inch body in four shells: matte black, printed wood grain, utility grey, sage green. The other two are the 120 g revision, wound with copper wire and fitted with a protection circuit that kills power on a short, an overheat or an opened lid. Capacity, the 304 stainless chamber and the blade speed are common to all six. So: pick the finish first, and pick the copper-motor revision if the machine will run most mornings for years rather than a few times a season.
It is one standard supermarket spice jar per press, or a small drying rack of oregano in a load or two. For a household grinding a week of coffee at a time it is generous. It is not a commercial capacity, and nothing here pretends to be.
The blade does not care; your palate might. A brush-out and a dry wipe between jobs — call it a minute — keeps yesterday’s cumin out of tomorrow’s espresso. Households that grind both daily often keep a second unit rather than swap, which is one reason the range runs to four colorways.
Yes. The lid is the switch: seat it, press down, and the blade turns until you let go. The same interlock is the reason the blade cannot spin while the chamber is open, which is a better safety story than a button on the side.
By counting. Three to five seconds cracks spice for a brine; eight to fifteen takes it to powder. The clear lid means you can simply watch and stop when the texture looks right, which beats any dial marked 1 to 5.
That is the thermal cutout, not a breakage. Unplug, wait fifteen or twenty minutes, and it comes back on its own. It trips after unusually long continuous runs — the machine is protecting the motor you paid for.
No. The chamber does not separate from the motor base, so nothing here goes under a tap or into a dishwasher. The stainless interior is built for dry cleaning: brush out the residue, wipe with a barely damp cloth, let it dry before the lid goes back on.
Mechanically, yes — several tablets at a time, large vitamins included. Whether a particular medication may be crushed is a pharmacist’s call and never a machine’s: extended-release and enteric-coated tablets usually have to stay whole, and crushing them can change the dose that arrives. Ask first, every time a prescription changes.
Fine enough to stir invisibly into apple sauce, a puree or a drink. The two-way stainless blade sweeps the whole chamber circle, so there are no half-tablets hiding at the edge.
Brush the chamber out between them — it takes under a minute and it is the one habit worth being strict about.
Not here. Shop Now hands you to a partner’s product listing, and every part of the transaction stays on their side: payment methods, receipt, customer account.
They are indicative and refreshed periodically, and a catalog page cannot follow a retailer’s pricing minute by minute. The number at their checkout is the binding one.
Both are the retailer’s to answer — the estimate at their checkout and the policy on their order page. Shipping & Delivery and Returns & Exchanges explain how that division works, including the two machine behaviors that get mistaken for faults.
