Spice Grinders

Commercial Spice Grinders in Toronto & Canada

A dedicated spice grinder turns whole peppercorns, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, and other hard spices into a fresh, consistent grind that pre-ground spice can't match. Phoenix Food Equipment's Spice Grinders collection is built around Waring, with three grinders that scale from the WSG30's 19,000 RPM motor and three swappable grinding bowls up to the WSG60's 1 HP wet/dry grinder and the WCG75 chopper-grinder, which adds a second bowl for chopping cheese, nuts, and coffee beans alongside spices. Omcan adds the 41158, a manual, hand-crank mill with cast-iron construction for kitchens that want a no-power option. Our KitchenAid grinder is a lighter-duty, dual-purpose coffee-and-spice option for lower-volume use. We stock and ship spice grinders out of Vaughan to kitchens across Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, and Hamilton, and to the rest of Canada beyond the GTA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

What's the difference between the Waring WSG30 and WSG60 spice grinders?

The two differ mainly in grinding style and capacity. The Waring WSG30 runs a 19,000 RPM motor with three interchangeable stainless steel grinding bowls, built for finely grinding dry spices like peppercorns, nutmeg, and cinnamon sticks. The Waring WSG60 steps up to a 1 HP motor and 3-cup bowls, and is rated for wet/dry use, so it can also handle wet blends and sauces alongside dry spices. Both are ETL and NSF certified with a PULSE feature for controlling grind texture. If you're strictly grinding dry spices, the WSG30 covers it; if you also need to process wet ingredients, the WSG60 is built for that.

Can a spice grinder also grind coffee beans or nuts?

Yes — a few of our spice grinders are built to do double duty. The Waring WCG75 Pro Prep Chopper Grinder has two separate bowl and blade assemblies, one for grinding hard spices, cheese, nuts, and coffee beans, and another for chopping, so it isn't limited to spices alone. Our KitchenAid grinder is similarly dual-purpose, designed to switch between grinding coffee beans and spices with swappable bowls. If you need one machine to cover both spice prep and coffee or nut grinding, those two are built for it; the Waring WSG30 and WSG60 are more spice-focused.

What's the difference between an electric and a manual spice grinder?

An electric spice grinder, like our Waring lineup, uses a motor and blade to grind spices in seconds, with features like a PULSE control for texture and multiple bowls for different spices. A manual spice grinder, like the Omcan 41158, uses a hand crank and cast-iron grinding mechanism instead, so there's no motor to maintain and no power outlet needed, making it a solid low-cost or backup option. Electric grinders are faster and better suited for higher-volume prep, while a manual mill is a simpler, no-power alternative for lighter or occasional use. Phoenix Food Equipment carries both, so you can match the grinder to how much spice prep your kitchen actually does.
