I have 4 different types of morter/pestle sets for different types of 
hand-work.  I also have over half a dozen small coffee/spice grinders each 
reserved for differnt types of things.  One for coffee only, one for 
cinnamon sticks/bark and galengale (it has a tall stack on top to feed into 
and a front removing cansiter), one for savory seeds, one for spicier seeds 
(cubebs, peppers, etc.), one for seeds and nuts, etc.  Several has it's own 
type distinction which makes it more practical for differnt things.  I am 
quite fond of the one that has the motor on the top part and the clear 
canister is the bottom, unattached to the cord, easy to clean and portable!  
OK, maybe I'm obsessive...
