powder-flake Best grinder for powdering chili

[MotorCity]

My mortar and pestle works like a charm if the peppers are thoroughly dried. I have made a ton of batches this way. If they're not dry enough (brittle to the touch..easily crumble) then it doesn't really work. You guys with your high techness...sheesh!

I use an 20 year old Braun coffee grinder.  Nothing fancy, just on and off.  I can put whole dried peppers in there and the blades will turn it to powder in about 2-3 min of running.  Now, I wouldn't want to do high volume amounts with it like you would for selling powders commercially, but for home use its perfect and cheap.
 

Hey that's what I use! Got it for free too! And yeah it powders quite well.

Ended up with the Krups. Quality is not outstanding But combining the two machines is amazing. On a second note, I have ordered the Waring
