Secura Electric Coffee Grinder with Stainless Steel Bowls
Important Note on Coffee Grinder Materials
No coffee grinder is perfect when you’re trying to balance convenience with a low-tox lifestyle. I focus on minimizing exposure where it matters most by avoiding nonstick coatings, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), aluminum in the grind path, nanoparticle finishes, and heavy metals like lead and cadmium. I also try to minimize plastic in internal components that touch the coffee beans, while recognizing that some plastic parts are standard in electric appliances.
Low-Tox Materials Check
This Secura grinder uses removable stainless steel bowls and stainless steel blades for grinding. The lid is plastic, but the beans aren’t ground against the plastic surface, so it isn’t part of the grinding contact zone.
Product Description
This Secura electric coffee grinder includes removable stainless steel bowls designed for grinding coffee beans, spices, or herbs. The stainless steel bowls make it easy to transfer grounds and clean after use, offering a simple, no-frills approach to everyday grinding.
What I Like
I like that the grinding bowls and blades are stainless steel, keeping the bean-contact surfaces simple and inert. While it isn’t perfect, this is a reasonable next-best option for anyone trying to live a low-tox lifestyle while still using an electric grinder.
Things to Keep in Mind
As with most electric grinders, some components are plastic, including the lid and outer housing. Regular cleaning helps prevent oil and residue buildup over time.
