Frequently Asked Questions
Watch These Quick Start Videos to learn about your FinaMill
What kind of batteries does it use?
FinaMill Battery Spice Grinder uses three AA batteries.
Why doesn’t it work after batteries are inserted?
For the motor to engage and run, a FinaPod must be properly inserted.
Is the FinaMill rechargeable?
We have a USB rechargeable model. The FinaMill USB rechargeable pack comes with a type C-USB charging cable. One charge lasts at least 2 months.
How can I open a tight pod? How do I get it open after use?
Along the sides of the pod are two holes cut into the base. Insert a key, or ridged object then twist open. The hole plus object will give you more leverage to open the base.
How fine can it grind?
It is fairly small, but not a powder like pre-ground spice. Please adjust the grinding knob to your desired coarseness choosing from five levels of grind.
Why isn’t it grinding fine enough?
You might have to adjust the grinding adjuster knob to a finer setting.
When I adjust from coarse to fine, what is the easiest way to adjust the pod?
Remove the pod from the mill and twist the adjuster knob found on the base of the pod.
Why can’t I adjust the grinder?
Pepper or other spice might be stuck in the grinding element. The simple fix is to hold the FinaMill with the pod inserted upside down and run it for a few seconds. That should clear material from the grinding element and allow it to be adjusted again.
Can it grind fresh herbs?
No, only chopped or minced dried herbs.
Can I grind nutmeg or cinnamon?
Absolutely! We recommend the FinaPod GT for larger, harder spices as it will grate the spice.
What is the warranty?
1 year
Why are my spices sticking to the pod?
High humidity or static can cause them to stick. Be sure to keep the grinding element and area clean to minimise sticking. Also ensure your pods are completely dry before filling them with spice.
