Title: Prone to fatal overheating
Product review: I bought this to grind things other than coffee, namely flaxseed and spices. Flaxseed, it did a fine job with. Nutmeg, however, killed this unit. Granted, nutmeg isn't really an appropriate thing to put into a coffee grinder. I know that now. However, after running multiple cycles consecutively (during which the blade did a fine job obliterating the nutmeg), it began to smell like burning. Then black smoke began wafting out of the unit. Rather than risk a full-blown electrical fire, I retired the unit. I guess I shouldn't expect too much from a $20 appliance, but I would hope for a "don't obliterate your insides" safety cutoff.Was also hard to clean flaxseeds. They were stubborn on the rubber surface with the included brush, and did not release fully in the dishwasher.
