Knowing the specs helps you see the real-world value. This grinder is more than just good looking; it’s built to give you a perfect grind every time.

• Diamond-shaped teeth provide an efficient and consistent grind.
• The 4-piece design automatically separates and collects valuable kief.
• An aluminum body offers a premium feel and superior durability.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes this grinder stand out from simpler 2- or 3-piece models.

How Does The 4-Piece Design Work?

A 4-piece grinder is a full system for grinding and sorting. The top two parts make up the grinding chamber with the diamond-shaped teeth. When you twist, ground herb falls through small holes into the second chamber, the storage bay. Under that is a fine mesh screen that lets only the tiniest particles (kief) fall into the bottom chamber.

How Strong Is The Magnetic Lid?

The lid has a powerful rare-earth magnet for a tight seal. This means it won’t pop open by accident in your bag, preventing messy spills. It also gives a smooth opening and closing feel, without the frustration of threaded lids that can get stuck.

• The design separates ground herb from kief for easy collection.
• The magnetic lid provides a strong, reliable seal to prevent spills.

To get the most from your herb and your grinder, just follow these six simple steps.

1. Load the Chamber: Open the magnetic lid. Place small bits of herb on the teeth, but not on the center magnet. Don’t pack it too full.
2. Grind Your Herb: Put the lid on and twist it back and forth about 6–10 times. You’ll feel less resistance when it’s done.
3. Tap the Side: Before opening, tap the side of the grinder gently. This helps loosen up material and sends kief through the screen.
4. Unscrew and Collect: Unscrew the middle part to find your fluffy, ground herb in the storage chamber.
5. Check Your Kief: After a few uses, check the bottom chamber. When you have enough, use the included scraper to collect it.
6. Brush Clean: Use a small, soft brush (not included) to clean the teeth and screen. This keeps it working well.

• A few twists are all that’s needed for a fluffy consistency.
• Tapping the grinder helps move kief through the pollen screen.
• The grinder includes a scraper tool for easy pollen collection.

This grinder offers a great balance of features and price. Here is how it compares to other common grinders you might see for under $40.

• It is the only option in this comparison that offers both a kief catcher and a unique artwork finish.
• It provides more functionality than 2-piece and 3-piece models by separating kief.

Keeping your grinder clean is key for good performance and a long life, especially with its printed design. Regular cleaning prevents build-up and keeps the twisting action smooth.

How Can I Clean The Grinder Without Damaging The Finish?

For a deep clean, take all four pieces apart. Use a soft brush to get rid of any loose bits. For sticky spots, soak only the metal parts in isopropyl alcohol for 20-30 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Be careful to avoid soaking the painted lid. To clean the outside, just wipe it with a damp cloth. Don’t use harsh cleaners on the artwork to keep the design looking great. Prefer a ready-made option? A dedicated grinder cleaner helps break down residue fast.

• The grinder can be fully disassembled for easy access to all parts.
• Wiping the exterior and using isopropyl alcohol on internal parts is the safest cleaning method.
