NONONO! You do NOT want to use one grinder for both, even minimally! You
*WILL* cross-contaminate your flavors, no matter how well you clean it.
They're only about $15-20 dollars - buy two and stash 'em in a cupboard
instead of on the counter if you're only going to use them but seldom. I
keep my coffee grinder on the counter next to my coffee pot, and my spice
grinder in the cabinet with my spices.

I have a Krups and a Braun, and I like both (the Krups is my spice grinder).
