Greetings Chefs,
New to the site, lurked a little and found a thread similar to what I'm looking for but didn't quite answer the question. https://cheftalk.com/threads/how-do-i-grind-up-large-thick-cassia-bark-sticks-please-help.75111/
I make different blends of tea, usually in batches of 15-25 Lbs. at a time. I was using a grindmaster 810 to blend things like peppercorns, cinnamon sticks, clove, birch bark, cacao nibs, etc.
The grindmaster I was using is no longer operational. I'm looking to replace it for something much easier to clean and can coarsely grind spices to around an 8 mesh size.
I've looked into other coffee grinders but I find they're expensive and take forever to clean. I've also looked into grain mills but I've spoken to a few sales reps about it and they're not sure about the machines ability to handle the array of ingredients we'll be using. I'm also considering a food processor but I'm honestly not sure what to look for. Also had the crazy idea to use a meat grinder, but I've never used one so I'm not sure if it's a realistic solution.
Budget: trying to keep it under $1,000.00
I welcome all ideas and suggestions and appreciate your time to reply!
