List of the Best Weed Grinder Brands

While ZAM is a relatively new cannabis brand, our goal is to bring value through innovation. And while we aim to be the best at this, it would be wrong to say other grinder brands haven’t propelled the industry forward as well.

In this article we’ll list all the notable weed grinder brands that have advanced the grinding experience through innovative design.

• ZAM Grinders
• Santa Cruz Shredder
• Brilliant Cut
• Kannastor
• Qubus
• Herb Ripper
• Ma Ma P’s
• Phoenician
• Mendo Mulcher
• HOJ Klip
• Cali Crusher
• Flower Mill
• Lift Innovations
• Space Case
• SLX
• United Machining

Why Create a List of the Top Grinder Brands?

You might wonder why I, the owner of ZAM Grinders, would create this list full of other grinder brands — my competitors. I felt I had to. If you look at the best weed grinder articles through-out the web, you’ll notice that very rarely do the lists line up with the actual truth.

Focus on Brands, not Advertisers

What you often see is a list populated with grinder recommendations based on Amazon’s affiliate system. The list will only describe the cheapest grinders that sell the best on Amazon, and therefore companies with a budget more fixated on advertising than innovation will make the list. I couldn’t find a comprehensive list of the top cannabis grinder manufactures that strive to innovate, so here’s my attempt to fix that.

Why Advertise Your Competitors?

From a brand’s perspective, it may seem counter-productive to highlight these other weed grinders, but I think you the customer are better off seeing what options are available. Maybe this is foolish, but I believe you will still consider my brand of grinders after reading the list. Not because my grinders are the overall best in every category, but because I’m confident it’s the overall best small weed grinder designed for portability and micro-dosing. We also sell an affordable steel grinder.

Grinder Specializations and Characteristics

It’s important to realize that not every grinder is going to be within your budget or have all the specific features you want. The cannabis sector has grown large enough to warrant specialized grinders that cater to a particular demographic.

My goal will be to dissect these specializations, and provide an overview of each grinder’s unique characteristics. At the very least I’ll list the grinders you should be considering if you’re truly looking for the best herb grinder.

Last but not least, here’s a list of all the major weed grinder brands.

ZAM

First off is my brand, ZAM. ZAM is a new grinder brand with our first grinder being released in early 2021. It’s a skinny 1.1” wide, 5-piece modular grinder made from anodized aluminum 6061. Some interesting features include an air-tight, water-tight additional compartment above the grinder’s teeth, and a patent-pending magnetic design that provides twice as much room for grinding weed while simultaneously preventing jamming.

The ZAM 1.1” is designed to grind and store smaller amounts of cannabis for on-the-go. In addition, the ZAM grinder comes with two removable Teflon (PTFE) inserts giving you the option to de-bowl external stems or grind directly into a small, anti-stick bucket. (This bucket can be used for storing concentrates too)

Santa Cruz Shredder

The largest and most well-known cannabis grinder brand is Santa Cruz Shredder. They offer 2-piece, 3-piece, and 4-piece designs, as well as a relatively new all-natural hemp grinder. They’ve been around for years and have dominated the industry with their now-classic but different tooth design, and uncommon inside-lip lid design. Santa Cruz Shredder is a well-known favorite that you simply can’t go wrong with.

Brilliant Cut Grinder

The Brilliant cut is a 3-piece weed grinder made from 7075 anodized aluminum, and features a unique all-magnetic design. Center magnets placed in the collection chamber allow the grinder to magnetically close without fear of cross-threading of jamming.

The Brilliant Cut also features an uncommon lid design only shared with one other grinder, one of the other heavy-hitters — Santa Cruz Shredder. Last but not least is the attractive top aesthetic from which the Brilliant cut gets its name.

Kannastor

One of the older grinder brands still around, Kannastor makes uniquely modular weed grinder. They were one of the first grinder brands to experiment with popularizing a 5-piece weed grinder and were one of the first to offer additional different sized grind plates.

Kannastor was eventually sold and became a part of Ryot, a larger cannabis accessories company.

Qubus

The Qubus made the scene after going Viral on Erik Khan’s YouTube channel.

It’s made from anodized aluminum 6061, has a unique cube shape, and is completely held together by magnets. O-rings surrounding the inside edges also make it completely air-tight, water-tight. A unique removable bucket screen allows you to easily transition from a 4-piece grinder to a 3-piece.

Herb Ripper

Herb Rippers are a stainless steel grinder and a recent favorite growing in popularity. With a classic overall design and uniquely shaped teeth, this grinder is many “go-to” for a classically designed stainless steel weed grinder.

Mama P’s

Mama P’s are some of the largest grinders available on the market, and the most expensive. Featuring a built-in lighter…and that’s it. It won a High Times award, so I felt it should be here.

Phoenician

Phoenicians feature a unique aesthetic designed to help grip the outside surface, as well as a unique triple locking wedge mechanism designed to facilitate easy opening and closing of the grinder.

They also have some versions that feature a spot on top of the grinder to store a pack of rolling papers.

Mendo Mulcher

Mendo Mulcher is a old-time brand that has been around for years and has garnered respect by creating consistent high quality products. Those Mendo’s designs follow the basic design inside-and-out, the grinders are cherished by many.

Hoj Klip

The Hoj Klip is a Danish made weed grinder using a horizontal blade action to slide your cannabis up. It comes with a sleep black form connected solely by magnets and made from anodized aluminum with steel blades.

Cali Crusher

Cali Crusher weed grinders are another brand that has been around for a while. They offer more affordable weed grinders that wouldn’t make this list, but also premium grinders featuring their quick-lock mechanism.

Flower Mill

The Flower Mill grinder is another 4-piece grinder that has been making waves recently with their innovative lid design, and stainless steel options — though they offer a more affordable anodized aluminum as well.

Lift Innovations

Lift Innovations was the first weed grinder to pioneer a new horizontal blade-cutting mechanism that attempted to cut the weed rather than shred it. With a successful crowdsourcing campaign their product quickly became well-know, but the brand was bogged down by copy cats and a difficulty in rising price.

The lift is considered one of the best weed grinders on the market for its ease of cutting/turning.

Space Case

The “OG” of weed grinder manufacturers, Space Case is one of the most well-known cannabis grinder brands for simply providing a consistent high quality experience. They haven’t changed the design of their grinder in the last ten years, and I’m not sure they ever will.

Made in America from anodized aluminum 6061, Space Case was everyone’s favorite grinder 15 years ago. This ancient titan still holds claim to a spot.

SLX

SLX is a weed grinder brand that was the first develop a ceramic coated grinder to prevent sticking in the chamber. Grinder maintenance is one the most important aspects for many people when considering a grinder, SLX thought to remove at problem.

Made from anodized aluminum 6061, the SLX is a favorite among those who hate cleaning their weed grinder.

United Machining

Another steel grinder working its way into everyone’s hearts is the United Machining steel grinder. After a couple iterations United Machining has succeeded in designing a high quality, thread-less, steel weed grinder that people love.

United Machining’s grinder is made from 303 stainless steel and features a kief screen bucket system with opposing magnets designed to keep everything secure.

Different Types of Weed Grinders

The cannabis industry has exploded, and in a very short time period the number of different herb grinder brands has exploded as well. However there are only two major types of weed grinders — manual, and electric.

Electric Weed Grinders

These are weed grinders that operate using a battery and don’t require manual turning of the lid. These can’t contend to the experience of higher-class manual grinders, but if you’re interested you can check out our list of the best electric weed grinders.

Manual Weed Grinders

These are most likely the type of weed grinder you’re looking for. They’re reliable, easy to maintain, and are generally made out of better, stronger materials.

Manual weed grinders can then be separated into categories depending on the mechanism used to separate the cannabis flower. After that, specific features can be highlighted that distinguish each grinder’s best-use and compatibility with your goals.

Different Types of Manual Weed Grinders

Manual weed grinders only have a few different variations in how the weed is actually dissected. It’s either cut with a standard tooth design, pressed until broken-up by a toothless design, or finally sliced by the horizontal blade design.

Each of these designs has their benefits and drawbacks, and all three are found in the top weed grinders on the market.

Standard Tooth Design

There used to be only one grinder design, the standard sharp tooth design which you’re likely familiar with. These aim to cut the flower into smaller bits which then drop through the holes placed around the bottom.

Toothless Pressure Activated Grinding

These are the grinders without grinding teeth. These aim to break the flower up rather than cut it. Longer holes with serrations are placed along the bottom edge and corresponding serrations on the roof of the grinder ultimately break the herb up and allow it to pass through the holes/slits.

Horizontal Bladed Fan Grinders

These are grinders that use a flat blade to slice off bits of the flower as it rests along the holes. Rather than the force of teeth or the pressure from being squeezed between holes, these aim to press your flower into a confined space and then slice off bits at the fan turns.

What Makes a Weed Grinder High Quality?

The major factors that influence grinder quality are: the manufacturing process (CNC, casted), tolerance used (how specific/consistent the grinder was CNC’d), material type (wood, acrylic, zinc, aluminum, steel) and grade (ex. Aluminum 6061 7075), grinder size (2 piece – 6 piece), and grinder complexity (special add-ons, unique attributes/surface finish/aesthetics)

I could go further and break down all the available grinders in each material type, but any high quality grinder is going to be made out of aluminum 6061 or higher. Therefore plastic grinders. wood grinders, and low quality aluminum shouldn’t, and won’t, be considered in the running for the best herb grinder. Sucks to suck.

Why Aren’t Pure Aesthetically Awesome Grinders Included in the List?

Go look on Amazon and you’ll find hundreds of different grinders all with minute differences in appearance. The truth is all, or most, of these grinders are made out of low quality aluminum or zinc and CNC’d with poor tolerances. They don’t try and improve the function, or the experience of grinding cannabis, they simply wish to throw a new cover on an old product.

That’s no-bueno. We’re trying to discuss the best brands that have pushed the cannabis grinder sector to new unexplored areas, not those just looking to make a quick buck.

Cheap Weed Grinders

Cheap weed grinders have their place, but not here. This is a list for some of the most expensive weed grinders in the world. Maybe you simply don’t care about the materials used and you’re happy with a gas-station weed grinder that will get the job done, but hopefully you still have some standards, right!?

Many people view weed grinders as a commodity and couldn’t fathom spending 75 on a weed grinder. That’s fine, but these grinders have no place being considered the “best” unless you’re specifically looking for an inexpensive weed grinder. In which case, check out our article on the best cheap weed grinders.

What’s the Best Grinder for Kief?

This mainly depends on the quality of kief you want to collect. Weed grinder screens are measured in microns. Click here for a more in-depth article on the best grinder for kief collection.

So Who Makes the Best Weed Grinder?

ZAM does of course. But really your choice is likely going to be one of the grinder brands listed above. The brands listed above have not only demonstrated their ability to take risks in designing new things, but also have a reputation for standing by their products.

Marijuana Vaporizer Accessories

You’ll need a few things to go with your vaporizer. Let’s look at the essentials first. At the very minimum, I recommend a grinder (vaporizers expect ground weed) and storage containers (need to keep your stash fresh). Regular grinders and containers just won’t cut it – trust me.

Please use the links on this site to make your purchases. You’ll help keep this site updated/running AND I only link to the best retailers, like PuffItUp.com and Amazon.

Cannabis Grinders

Grinders grind up cannabis for vaping (and smoking of course, but who does that?). Like vaporizers, some grinders are better than others. They are essential. You’ll probably need only one of them.

Grinders use blades (aka teeth) to shred cannabis into smaller pieces. These small, ground pieces fall through holes into the next chamber of the grinder. You open up the grinder, take out the ground herb from the collection chamber, and pack the herb into your vape.

Before I describe what to look for in an ideal grinder, there’s something you need to know. Grinders are usually made of metal – aluminum in most cases. When grinding, it’s possible to produce small aluminum flakes that mix with the ground herbs. Not good! There’s some debate on the safety of heating up and inhaling aluminum, but I’d rather err on the side of caution and avoid potential risks. Also, metal flakes can damage your vaporizer (clogs, electrical shorts, abrasion, etc.).

For me, the second biggest concern is grind efficiency. When grinding, weed tends to stick to the inside of the grinder. I want to maximize the amount of precious plant material. I don’t want to lose any of those small white hairs (trichomes), little orange fibers (pistils), or anything else. A non-stick grinder also has the benefit of easy cleaning.

Thirdly, and this isn’t a priority for everyone – I want to be able to collect kief (aka pollen or crystals), which is a powder-like accumulation of trichomes that often build up from grinding. Kief is potent and can be vaporized with the right technique. Many grinders have special filter screens designed to maximize kief collection.

Hey, wouldn’t it be great if there was a non-stick grinder that did not flake and was great at collecting kief?

There is, and that’s why I recommend SLX 2.0 grinders.

• No metal flakes mix with ground herb
• Medical or food-grade materials
• Efficient grind (nothing left behind)
• Fluffy grind (good for vaporizer airflow)
• Teeth stay sharp over time
• Easy to clean
• Durable / survives drops
• Collects an ample amount of kief

When you first get your grinder, clean it properly and give it time to dry. This will remove any metal shavings or other manufacturing-related stuff. Refer to the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. Clean the SLX every couple of months and it will come out like brand-new because of the non-stick coating. Some folks like to use 99% isopropyl alcohol, salt, and a soft toothbrush. With regular cleaning, a decent grinder can easily last over 10 years.

Cannabis Containers

A variety of sizes are available. I recommend two jars per strain: a 1/2 oz size for storing full buds and a 1/8 oz for storing the ground stuff.

I recommend Herb Preserve jars:

• Airtight to prevent smell and maintain freshness (they guarantee up to six months)
• Blocks UVB light to maintain potency
• Easy to open, but does not open accidentally
• Inconspicuous (looks a bit like a cosmetic jar)
• Available in multiple sizes
• Fairly durable, despite being made of glass

I recommend purchasing two jars per strain (type of cannabis): one for storing buds (try the 1/2 oz 250 mL) and the other for storing ground stuff (try the 1/8 oz 50 mL). The “ground jar” should be under 3″ in height so you can get your fingers inside when packing your vaporizer. Jars under 3″ are also more portable, as they more easily fit into carrying cases (more on that later).

Orders from Herb Preserve are discreet. Boxes are marked with “H.P.J Co”, but you can request an alternative label. To keep your jars as inconspicious as possible, you can also request they withhold the label stickers with the logo and Egyptian imagery. Herb Preseve often has a deal going on where you can get a discount or a free jar. As a side note, Infinity Jars is the same company targeting non-cannabis consumers.

Cannabis does best with humidity around 60%. If you really want to preserve your weed, drop a humidity pack into the jar. For the jars mentioned above, one 8 g pack will suffice for jars up to 1 oz. A company called Bovita sells them at 58% and 62%, but either kind will work.

• As mentioned previously, put each cannabis strain in its own jar. Consider using two jars per strain: a larger one for the buds and a smaller one (under 3″ in height) for the ground stuff.
• For your ground jar, grind up a few days’ worth ahead of time. Don’t grind up all the buds at once.
• Label each jar using painter’s tape and a Sharpie. Write the strain’s abbreviation – look it up on Leafly.
• If you need to temporarily dump out the contents of a ground jar, consider using a paper plate. When you’re done, you can fold a paper plate in half and lift an angle, allowing the ground cannabis to slide back into the ground jar. Tap on the back of the late and small pieces should slide down the plate into the jar. Wash and dispose of the paper plate to hide the smell.
• Store your jars in a dark place that’s room temperature with normal humidity levels. Don’t use a fridge or freezer. Keep your stash out of sight and reach from pets, children, and anyone else of concern.
• If you need to grab your buds, avoid using your fingers when possible. Instead, use chopsticks to preserve trichomes.
• Always wash your hands and anything else that came into contact with cannabis thoroughly. Trained police dogs can detect small traces.

Cannabis Stash Boxes Travel Bags

I recommend SkunkGuard bags:

• Rigorously tested for trapping unwanted odors
• 100% unconditional money-back guarantee
• Many options: backpacks, duffel bags, small travel bags in multiple colors

Reasons why you’d want a cannabis bag:

• You’re meeting up with friends later and want to share a variety of strains
• You going to vape away from home and want to refill your vaporizer
• You want access to more than one cannabis strain

What you should put in the bag:

You will need a case that fits a couple of cannabis jars and your vaporizer. The dimensions of each bag should be displayed on the product website. Bubble wrap jars for extra protection. Secure your vaporizer using one of the compartments or straps.

There’s a number of people online who recommend Pelican cases. While these and other hard shell cases generally offer great protection, I do not recommend them because they look similar to handgun cases. For obvious reasons, don’t use a case that looks like it may contain a weapon.

If you’re in a state where cannabis is illegal, do not travel with cannabis. Even with the best scent-proofing, police dogs can potentially alert, triggering a search and discovery of your stash.

What’s the Best Weed Grinder?

No matter how we choose to consume cannabis, we almost always do the same thing first: break the herb down! Some prefer fingers, others use scissors, and some even shove.

No matter how we choose to consume cannabis, we almost always do the same thing first: break the herb down! Some prefer fingers, others use scissors, and some even shove handfuls of bud, stem and all, into a coffee grinder. But what’s the best way?

There’s no wrong way to do it (okay, we’re not big on grinding stems…) but the different methods can make a big difference in your overall experience. As much as we love the versatility of breaking it down by hand, sticky herb can leave your fingers too tacky to roll a joint, and scissors quickly get stuck together and require cleaning. Using a proper weed grinder gets the job done in a way that says “it’s time for business”.

The problem is, there’s a million choices and not many ways to tell them apart. Why are some grinders so expensive? Are they worth it? As usual, what’s important depends a lot on needs and preferences, but there are a few key things to consider.

For one, how fine or coarse the buds get broken down can change how they smoke — much in the same way that the ideal coffee grind changes with the way it’s being brewed. Fans of rolling up will want a coarse texture, especially with blunts, and vapes tend to do better with a fine grind, even more so with a highly-efficient conduction vape.

That being said, a lot of high-end grinders offer multiple ‘sizes’ and even when they don’t, many people opt to turn their grinder upside down to get a finer grind. That can put the FOCUS on other qualities such as:

Capacity: How much herb can fit into the grinder at once? How much can it hold before overflowing?

Strength: Does it grind with ease or require some elbow grease? Does it ever get jammed?

Materials and construction: How long will it last? Are metal shavings or aluminum coatings getting in my buds?

Ease of cleaning: Can it be easily cleaned?

Pieces: Does it have a kief screen? How fine is the screen?

We asked around town and browsed all corners of the internet and beyond to find out what people are talking about and we’ve chosen a few of the most interesting options to share with you. Here’s the list for our round up:

The Brilliant Cut Grinder (75)

Our research showed the Brilliant Cut Grinder is one of the most popular choices. It boasts a ‘jam-free’ and threadless quick-connect construction made of quality aluminum alloy. It’s not cheap, but still more affordable than the stainless steel options we reviewed. Do the features of its teeth and plate design make for less friction and faster grinding?

Boomers Stainless Steel (129)

For a truly no-nonsense option, we came across this offering from Wacky Willys, which also makes all sorts of hash equipment and other paraphernalia. It’s made of stainless steel and comes in two hefty pieces that you definitely don’t want to drop on your toe. With no bells and whistles to speak of, it still tops the price list. What makes it worth it in the end?

Androck Vintage Nut Grinder (approx 20)

We know what you’re thinking. What the hell is a nut grinder? Apparently, they were common in kitchens of the 1940s and somewhere along the line, people went into the cupboards searching for better ways to roll a nice fatty. There’s a surprising number of rave reviews for these things on weed forums, especially about how well the chunky results burn slowly in a paper. They’re pretty cheap and easy to find on eBay, and we admit it’s a fun idea, but will it really work?

The Cali Crusher (90)

This lightweight aluminum grinder is a breeze to open and close (they call it quicklock technology) and has tons of options to customize its appearance. In addition to an assortment of colors, you can choose to have yours etched with a custom logo or design. It has widely spaced teeth and jumbo sizes appropriate for heavy duty use, but how will its aluminum construction compare to stainless steel options?

Lift Innovations (95-125)

Instead of using ‘teeth’ to rip the bud apart, the Lift Innovations grinder has a swirling blade that shreds your herb into a fluffy consistency- at least that’s what they say. It’s made from a combination of aluminum and stainless steel, providing benefits of stainless without all the extra weight and cost.

The Herb Ripper (99-129)

We were definitely skeptical about such a compact grinder at a high price point. But it’s made of stainless steel and that means it should last forever. Plus, you won’t have to worry about metal debris or aluminum coatings coming off into your buds. How will its smaller size compare to our other options?

Herb Mill (20)

The Herb Mill is geared more towards grinding actual herbs and does a great job of shredding cilantro without the need for a knife and cutting board. Like the Androck Nut Grinder, it’s got a large capacity and theoretically it has an adjustable ‘grade’ based on the amount of pressure applied with grinding. Have we been missing out by not using our weed grinder in the kitchen, or is this one best left in the cupboard it came from?

Brilliant Cut Grinder

The Brilliant Cut Grinder comes widely recommended for its smooth action and jam-free design features. It’s made of 7075 aluminum alloy and has a sturdy, durable feel without feeling too clunky. The threadless pieces are magnetized and snap themselves together with a snug fit that holds tight, even when dropped onto a linoleum floor.

Before loading it up, the pieces have a satin smooth spinning action, but it feels like that’s partially due to the ring that fits between the spinning pieces (which feels like teflon), and not just the ‘centering cylinder’ design. Basically, the teeth surrounding the center post keep things in place and this prevents the sidewalls from rubbing together during grinding, which greatly reduces the amount of surface area that buds can get squished into.

The Brilliant Cut Grinder has the middle plate designed so that more of its holes are on the outside edges instead of in the middle, and that seems to allow for a fairly consistent grind, but with some dense buds there’s quite a few chunkier pieces left. Overall, the medium plate produces a slightly finer consistency than the others. Turning it upside down for a finer grind isn’t recommended because of how the top piece fits inside the middle piece (instead of over and around). It makes a huge mess and starts spitting out buds or squishing them onto the ring between the two pieces. This actually makes it easier to see how the design prevents jamming on the sidewalls, but it means you’re better off buying multiple plates if you want to get different bud consistencies.

One feature that’s missing here is a kief screen, which might be a deal breaker for some, but the design does seem to prevent a lot of kief from becoming ‘grinder hash’, so all the good stuff makes its way down to the bottom compartment instead of getting stuck in crevices.

I’d recommend this grinder for on-the-go users due to its sturdy but lightweight design. Folks looking for a fine consistency for vaping may find the best results from the Brilliant Cut Grinder, but they should keep in mind that upside-down grinding isn’t a good option here.

Capacity: Medium

Strength: Takes more effort than stainless steel options but doesn’t get jammed up as fast

Materials and construction: Study construction, anodized aluminum may wear over time

Ease of cleaning: Fairly easy to clean and accumulates less residue than others

Pieces: No kief screen

Boomers Stainless Steel Grinder

If you’re a fan of the ‘less is more’ mantra, the Boomers Stainless Steel Grinder can’t be beat. Its hefty stainless steel pieces have a surprisingly elegant finish, with a nicely etched logo and criss-cross scoring on its edges. It’s an age-old design that’s typically found with acrylic grinders that we wouldn’t recommend these days, but in a way thing this gives us a nice fuzzy nostalgic feeling without fear of plastic residue making a bonus appearance.

There’s no kief screen, no magnets, no plates with various size holes. Just two hunks of metal with sharp teeth that sink into big nugs and tear them apart with ease. This thing could probably decimate a bag of nails if you wanted it to, which leaves us wondering about other ways to put this thing to use. Just for fun, I tossed in some almonds and cashews and sure enough, in a matter of seconds I was ready to top off a salad or noodle dish.

The Boomers grinder isn’t a top choice for portability. For one, it’s super heavy, but it also has no threads or magnets to keep it together while jostling around. Without a collection chamber, it’s hard to pre-grind weed for a show or event.

The one thing that I do like about the two-piece design is the flexibility to get just the right consistency. The more you spin, the finer it gets. Another feature is that you can literally put this in the dishwasher. That’s somewhat true of any stainless steel grinder, but most have some parts that could potentially trap soap and water. This thing has no nuts, bolts, rings, or gaskets to worry about and therefore doesn’t require any finesse or extra drying time to wash or soak it.

Ultimately, the Boomer Stainless Steel Grinder is best suited for all-around at home use. Unless you manage to lose it, this thing will last forever with very little maintenance.

Capacity: Medium (fits about two grams without squishing or overflow)

Strength: Tears through herb with ease

Materials and construction: Tougher than the Terminator

Ease of cleaning: Accumulates some residue, but easily scraped or soaked out

Pieces: No screen or collection chamber

Androck Vintage Nut Grinder

After searching through listings on eBay, I found that a lot of these devices are, well, vintage in every sense of the word. Faded, rusty, and altogether unappealing. A little bit of rust in your Apple walnut salad won’t kill ya (free iron supplement!), but at the same time, doctors in the early 1900s prescribed things like arsenic and mercury for the treatment of syphilis, erectile dysfunction, and even the common cold, so it’s safe to assume they weren’t so concerned with metal contamination in consumer products. And by the way, doc, we’re gonna be smoking our salad this time. Sounds good, right?

I like to make sure my buds are as clean as possible, so I had to make sure I found something in great condition that wouldn’t start wearing down into my herb. Eventually I was satisfied with the overall condition of my choice, which cost just over 20 with shipping, and eagerly awaited it’s arrival in the mail. When it showed up and I began unpacking it, I was charmed by its cute glass jar and crank handle but as skeptical as ever about how well it might work. Even though the condition was nice, I found a little surprise inside the metal teeth.

Turns out, it was just ground up nuts that got lodged in there. I was happy knowing that my device was rust free, but it was not easy scraping the nut residue from the metal teeth (. what’s so funny?) and I eventually settled for “close enough”. Now onto the fun part!

As you can see, the Androck Nut Grinder easily holds the 1.5 grams I used to test each grinder and could fit way, way more. The receptacle at the bottom is even bigger, meaning you could throw in about 10 grams, grind it, add another 10 grams, etc, until you filled the jar with well over an ounce of ground bud. When you load it and crank the handle, it’s hard not to crack a smile as you watch the flat metal teeth squish and rip apart your weed and drop it into the container below. Cranking the handle through big chunks of weed isn’t effortless, but considering it has no sharp or pointy edges, it’s easier than you might think. If I’m understanding correctly, it’s supposed to put out a finer grind if you spin it one way, and coarser the other, but I had too much fun spinning it around to notice much difference.

Except for a jumbo size coffee grinder, there’s no other grinder on the market that makes it that easy to prepare for a party, festival, or any other serious smoke out. If you’ve ever tried using a coffee grinder, you’ve probably been disappointed with the mixture of weed dust and large chunks- but that’s where the Androck Nut Grinder really shines.

For blunt and joint smokers, the mixed consistency of medium and larger pieces is the closest thing I’ve seen to using one’s own fingers. It’s no trivial matter either- larger chunks reduce the amount of air introduced to the ember and that means lower, safer, more flavorful temperatures. With enough small pieces to fill in all the gaps, you should have the perfect, slow burning blunt or joint with a minimal amount of pinching for some of the largest chunks.

Consistency: Large consistency of bud great for rolling up but somewhat useless for vaping

Capacity: Huge capacity (grinds and collects an ounce or more in minutes)

Strength: Fairly strong

Materials/Construction: Well-built but materials unknown

Cleaning: Somewhat easy to clean but probably not washable

Pieces/Kief Screen: No kief screen

The Androck Nut Grinder is recommended for heavy smokers that exclusively smokes joints, blunts, or fat bowls with chunky nugs. Not recommended for light users, vapers, or edible-makers.

The Cali Crusher

Next up is the Cali Crusher, which comes with some customizable options but may be the only one that offers custom etching. Not too shabby! Unfortunately, that’s where my praises end. Compared to other options, its lightweight construction felt nice at first, but after some use it just feels cheaply made, and when you take a closer look, that’s exactly what it is.

Despite having one of the biggest capacities of the standard weed grinders, it took way more effort than any other grinder to chew up 1.5 grams of fairly dense buds. The threadless “quicklock technology” works well when it hasn’t been used, but it still holds itself together using, wait for it… threads! Which means it can probably still get clogged up eventually and make it harder to open and close the grinder.

There’s no o-rings to keep freshness and aroma sealed inside and the magnets aren’t strong enough to make it feel like I could throw the Cali Crusher in a bag or backpack without worry of it busting open and dumping out the contents under turbulence.

And the kief screen? I’m pretty sure they just bolted a window screen into this thing! It’s basically an oversized pipe screen that’s so flimsy that I can bend it out of place with almost no effort. Not to mention that the resulting “kief” ends up being mostly pieces of leaf and plant matter. A proper stainless steel screen is very costly compared to what they’re using here, but at a 90 price point, this feels like an outrageous compromise.

Consistency: Medium-fine consistency works reasonably well for most uses

Capacity: Medium large (grinds 2.5 grams)

Strength: Unimpressive compared to premium options

Materials/Construction: Poor for the price

Cleaning: Wide space teeth make this one easy to clean out

Pieces/Screen: Four piece grinder with a very low quality screen, can be used as a 3 piece

Unless the customized logo is the only thing that matters, the Cali Crusher is too expensive for its part and build quality and we can’t recommend it to anyone.

The Herb Ripper

Here we have the Herb Ripper, a small but curiously strong and well-built grinder. It’s expensive, but it’s made entirely of stainless steel. If you ask me, it’s the best looking grinder I’ve reviewed. It has a sleek elegance with none of the gaudiness we often find in “high-end” cannabis products. The Herb Ripper wouldn’t feel out of place in a limousine sitting next to a bottle of iced champagne.

My main concern with the Herb Ripper was its size — can it even handle the 2.5 grams I’m stuffing these grinders with?

See what I mean, no way that doesn’t get jammed up, right? I was pleasantly surprised to find that this little cylinder of steel had no problem tearing through all that weed. In fact, it was almost effortless. Even though it was overfilled for its size, the Herb Ripper happily spun around like butter in a frying pan. It was actually smoother and easier to twist than most of the bigger grinders I’ve used.

What’s more, the middle compartment for holding bud is actually pretty huge, and the kief compartment has plenty of space as well. The magnet is by far the strongest of our reviewed products, and it’s got rubber o-rings on the top AND bottom pieces so you can confidently toss this thing around without worry. It is really, really heavy though, so if you’re planning to stuff the Herb Ripper in your. make sure to wear a belt or you might end up mooning everyone in sight.

Oh, and I almost forgot, the Herb Ripper comes with a stainless steel ball for shaking kief off your buds, and the custom guitar pick made for scraping kief is pretty sweet, too!

Consistency: Standard plate has medium-fine consistency, coarse and fine grade plates are options at checkout

Capacity: Medium low (grinds up to 1.5 grams but has large collection chamber)

Strength: Makes up for low capacity with super strong, effortless grinding

Materials/Construction: Beautiful polished steel and build quality

Cleaning: Small teeth should make this fairly easy to clean

Pieces/Screen: Works as 3 or 4 piece with high quality kief screen

The Herb Ripper is recommended for superb materials and build quality plus elegant looks.

Lift Innovations

The Lift Innovations weed grinder is one to be excited about. Many people Echo the sentiment, ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’, but if we left it up to them, we’d still be pooping in outhouses and using toilet paper with splinters in it. So what does the Lift Innovations weed grinder bring to the table? Instead of using teeth to tear apart the herb, it ‘shreds’ the product with a big, mean looking set of blades that swirls around and gently breaks apart your weed instead of squishing it together first. It’s definitely a novel concept for weed grinders but in a lot of ways it’s similar to a food processor or coffee grinder.

Loading this thing up is a bit different as it has three compartments to stuff up instead of the standard ‘plate’ arrangement. I thought this would prevent me from getting in a full 2.5 grams, but it actually fit with a bit of room to spare. Grinding the stuff took very little effort and quickly worked to provide me with a nice fluffy consistency of medium sized pieces. I did notice that some bits and pieces of bud do get attached to the swirling blade and won’t fall through without some vigorous spinning or the addition of more weed, which isn’t really a problem unless you’re down to your last pinch. When weed gets stuck, it’s harder to immediately dislodge it than with a standard grinder, but it doesn’t get squish bud into the crevices like regular grinders. As long as you have the ashtray handy (see below), it’s a breeze to take apart and clean out!

I love the feel of the Lift Innovations grinder and while it does seem to produce nice fluffy shreds of bud, at first glance it’s not all that different from the other grinders, but it is way more fun to use. If we get the chance to examine the differences under a microscope, we’ll let you know! It also comes with an ashtray (not pictured) that’s styled and colored to match the grinder, which makes it a great accessory for your ‘coffee’ table.

Update: The included ashtray (not pictured) is also a tool that disassembles the grinder! This is really important for cleaning and also allows for the replacement of parts, which they sell on their website. For more info, check out their YouTube video on the subject.

Consistency: Medium-large consistency is fluffy and provides slightly more surface area for vaping/cooking than a conventional grinder

Capacity: Medium (fits about 2 grams)

Strength: Easily shreds dense material

Materials/Construction: Well-crafted, durable materials, lightweight for its sturdiness

Cleaning: Easily disassembles for cleaning

Pieces/Screen: Works as 3 or 4 piece with high quality, fine grade kief screen

The Lift Innovations is recommended for an all around option at the 100 price point, but it may be hard to track one down at this time, and we’re still concerned about past reports of poor communication and customer service (although they seem to have been resolved).

The Herb Mill

For an affordable option that can double as a kitchen tool, we came across suggestions for The Herb Mill from Microplane. It’s a nifty gadget for prepping cilantro on taco tuesday but like the Androck Nut Grinder, it’s got a huge capacity and the ability to break down an ounce of weed faster than even the larger size weed grinders. It’s relatively cheaply made, but it’s also a fraction of the price of premium options, so that’s not a deal-breaker in this case. As I give it a test whirl before filling it up, my only concern is how long the aluminum ‘teeth’ will last when really put to work on dense herbs and the occasional stray stems.

The one thing this grinder requires that the others don’t is a significant amount of pressure. As you twist, you also need to push down on the ‘plunger’ to push the ingredients into the blades. This is a drawback in its own right, but it does allow for one thing that other grinders don’t: on the fly adjustments from fine to coarse grading, or vice versa. If you use light pressure, you’ll get a very fine consistency, but with more pressure you’ll push bigger pieces through the blade before they get chopped up.

Honestly, it’s not as fun as the Androck Nut Grinder and the control isn’t all that precise (so you get a mix of consistency regardless of how careful you are), but there’s no other grinder that produces a super fine consistency for conduction vaping in so little time. There’s a big issue, though. There’s no receptacle for the ground herb, so you’ve got the hold the thing over a jar or container as you grinder or else it just falls to the ground. Maybe that’s not a huge deal, but it’s definitely an inconvenience when most grinders also act as a container.

I want to say The Herb Mill really isn’t all that useful, but it’s not totally useless, either. The main reasons to recommend against it are the need for a separate container, and durability. It’s hard to imagine the blades won’t get jammed up unless you clean this thing every time, and let’s be honest, nobody wants to do that. All-in-all, it’s an amusing way to make smoking weed feel like cooking, but when making edibles or conduction vaping calls for super fine grinding, I’d probably opt for a coffee grinder instead.

Consistency: Adjustable- capable of very fine grinding

Capacity: Huge

Strength: Takes some effort

Materials/Construction: Fairly cheap, but so is the price tag

Cleaning: Not gonna be fun after repeated use, but should be soakable

Pieces/Screen: No kief screen OR container for ground bud

The Herb Mill is a cheap back-up option that can quickly break down a big pile of bud into different consistencies, but we expect that the blades will dull fairly quickly and it will become hard to clean and maintain.

Weed Grinder Round Up Final Thoughts

In all honesty, many of these grinders are nicer than what we’ve bought ourselves in the past. But now that we’ve used them, it’s hard not to notice the premium appeal. The outcome doesn’t change drastically but they do come with improved style, feel, ease-of-use, durability, and options for consistency. Here are our recommendations for best use:

Most Portable Grinder
