powder-flake What Grinder for Pepper Powder?

Tardis

Tardis

Hey I dried a bunch of Brazillian Rainbow Peppers.  After 9 hours in the Excalibur Dehydrator I put it in an old Coffee Bean grinder which I washed parts in the dishwasher.  Turned it on for a good while, but at the end it only had pepper flakes.  I want some very fine pepper powder.  I want something I can put in a salt shaker, not something i'd get  in a packet from Pizza Hut.  Any recommendations on a good grinder which will accomplish this (or a better way if grinders don't work)?
 
I have gone thru 3 coffee grinders and finally bought this one. When I read it will grind 5 WHOLE Nutmegs, I was sold. That was about 6 years ago and I use it all the time. Well worth the money!

Also, If you have a standard type blender, you can take the ring/gasket/blade assembly of the glass pitcher from the blender, and screw it on to a mason jar. The threads fit, and is also dustless so you won't have to vacate your kitchen. Open it slowly tho. LOL
 
I have an old old black and Decker electric coffee grinder that just flat out pulverized dried peppers. Its going on 32 years old now I believe.

I may just purchase one of these this year, looks like an amazing product!  I tend to like my powder more like granular table salt though, I dont care for a superfine powder as it tends to cake up. 
 
Thnks for the link, much appreciated!
 
You don't have to turn it in to powder. Just a few pulses and you have flakes, a few more pulses and you have course ground. I uuse it for all of my seasonings, Cumin I like pulverized, as well as garlic powder (from the garden). I also dry onions, but I like that stuff more granulated.
 
Point is, you can get the fineness that you want but it will turn whole Anice and Nutmegs into moon dust, if you want.

Yea it is a bit on the small side, but they cram in without much problem and a couple batches isnt the end of the world

OMG! I love this grinder.  Finally used it last night.  Dried some peppers for 9 hours in my dehydrator (excalibur).  bunch of sweet cayenne.  5 orange habaneros, and finally one white ghost pepper.  This grinder is amazing.  I was expecting to like have to coffee grinder it several times to get powder.  Nope.  Push the button for 5 seconds and those dried peppers turned into powder.  awesome!!!!  Thank you for the recommendation.  I love this thing.
