Sure, but it's arguably overkill for spices. Having a precise grind isn't as necessary for spices as it is for coffee, and it's much more of a pain to work with for spices because you'll get some retention in the chute, and it's annoying to clean it all out. I just use a basic Krups blade grinder for spices.

I wouldn't in case it could linger in the burrs or plastic and leave a flavor. also certain spices like cloves are denser than coffee, and it says in the instructions not to put rice etc inside. anyway, you can get the cheapest possible blade coffee or spice grinder, or pestle and mortar, or just your fingers and your palm to grind spices.

See #31 - Please don't buy one of these for spices people
Poor Michael at Compass Coffee going to get back in the office to cancel 25,000 orders of a Burr Coffee Grinder. Sweating profusely having to hear from 2,000 Karens who believe he should honor a price error even though it would put his small business bankrupt.
I'll devote my next cup of coffee to him for the hard work he is about to do on a simple website mistake.
These are the times that make me want to leave Slickdeals.
This code was obviously not supposed to get out. It was probably intended for a few people who were instructed to use it on an item or two as some sort of a gift, possibly as a charitable type thing.
A small business can't just front a loss like this, especially to a group who isn't going to want to pay full price for anything they have, much less for an extended period of time where they could actually (eventually) break even.
This isn't Target or Amazon. I would really encourage you to not get upset when your order is cancelled and instead to have some compassion for this owner who now has to spend hours and hours trying to remedy an honest mis-take while having people berating him via email and otherwise (as I see some of you are ALREADY ready to do).
Please be better, people.
This is the best price i have ever seen it by like $30. Decided to get one as a gift. I wouldn't sleep on this. Very sweet find OP.

The Barazta Encore is pretty well established as the go to entry level burr. You can also do the M2 burr upgrade, making it virtually equal to the Virtuoso.
