CrushGrind© Kala black 17 cm

Crushgrind© spice grinders are equipped with an unparalleled ceramic grinding system, designed and developed by the Dane Ken Muff Larsen. This mill has a 'house' made of plastic that Lego© also uses. Beautiful and rock solid!

We chose the Kala because of the glass container and its timeless design, inspired by the angelica flower, Calla palustris. Design: Henrik Casper.

The Kala is available in two versions: with a stainless steel housing, and this with a (black) plastic housing.

This is a discontinued product, because Crushgrind has stopped production of the Kala. The successor is the Vaasa

The Kala is intended for commercial and domestic use. It is a versatile grinder because you can use it not only for pepper, but also for salt, a wide range of spices, dried herbs and spice blends (or make your own).

The grinding mechanism consists of a rotating ceramic element developed by the Danish CushGrind© itself. The CushGrind®25 grinding mechanism is used in this grinder. The addition of 25 means that CushGrind gives a 25-year warranty on the grinding mechanism.

How the CrushGrind® works

To fill the grinder, unscrew the glass cup counterclockwise. After you have filled the glass and screwed the housing back on, adjust the grind if desired. You do this by turning the wheel, clockwise for a finer setting, counterclockwise for a coarser one.

To grind the pepper, hold the grinder upside down, with the glass cup facing up. You make a rotating movement with the glass container.

Cleaning

If you want to change spices, grind some coarse (sea) salt to clean the ceramic part. When you loosen the wheel that determines the grind, the grinding mechanism is released if you want to clean it.

Preferably do this with a hard, dry brush, you can even clean it with water. Before you do that, read the instructions for use on the CrushGrind site. Make sure that the mechanism is completely dry when you use the mill again! The drying time of the porcelain is at least 24 hours.
