Not exactly a new invention, electric grinders are continuing to evolve as technology advances.
Finding a good grinder can be much harder than it sounds. There are loads of different brands on the market and a plethora of different styles of grinders to choose from. The hand grinder is a popular choice, but they can be a real pain in the… wrist; yeah, wrist, that’s it. Today’s modern stoner deserves much better which brings us to electric and battery-powered herb grinders.
Now, you might be thinking, who needs a grinder when I have a coffee grinder? Don’t go grab that bad boy and start grinding your herb. You might not want to smoke coffee. Burnt coffee contains the known carcinogen acrylamide. Avoid all that and invest in a good, high-quality electric and battery-powered herb grinder.
Don’t know where to start? Let’s look at some of the most popular electric and battery-powered herb grinders currently on the market.
