Masterdam Grinders Premium Large 2.5 Inch Herb Grinder with Micron Screen - 4 Part Gunmetal Anodized Aluminium

Product Information

If you are able to use good grinder to process your weed, you will not only be rewarded with a cleaner, more even burn, but you’ll also be able to roll better joints. What’s not to love? Small (1.5-2.5 inches):While small, these still have enough room to be effective for small doses such as a single blunt. If you generally consume alone, these will probably work pretty well. They’re also small enough to be very portable. Large (3 – 3.75 inches):These things are massive. Unless you’re regularly hosting parties where you’re dishing out for several people at once, this probably won’t be necessary. They’re also a huge pain in the ass to lug around. The first thing you will look for with any grinder are the teeth. Well with this model we have teeth that have a special curved diamond shape or as Masterdam calls them “Lion’s teeth”. They are as sharp as they come and work wonders. Then there are the centering wedges on the outer edge that again have a special form and are a little carved out at the top which ensures absolute perfect grinding of your entire herb, all with a smooth motion. And it’s the very thin O-ring as well as the outer edge’s rounded forms that ensure the perfectly smooth shifting motion. I was really surprised on how well this grinder is designed and how well it works. Simply put, the more weed you can grind up at once the fast you’ll catch your kief. That said, you also have to smoke the regular bud that you grind up, so you’re partially limited by how often you smoke. Even still, if you’re going all in on the kief, a medium or large size grinder might be of interest to you. Rounded Kief Tray

Topping the charts at #1, we’ve got theCali Crusher Homegrown. I’ll be honest, I did my best to remove the visual bias from this one, but this grinder just looks so damn good. But we don’t get style points in the world for kief catching – we need something that works. And the Cali Crusher works. The idea is pretty simple. The top chamber of most any grinder is focused on actually grinding your bud up. This will be comprised of two sections, a top and a bottom, both of which will have teeth-like extrusions. On the floor of the bottom piece there’ll be tiny little holes. This is where your processed bud will fall through when it’s done being ground up. It’ll fall through these holes into a second chamber where the processed bud collects. Second, it’s really easy to use. The grind was smooth and loading is easy. Instead of the standard design with dozens of pegged teeth, the Cali Crusher only has 20 teeth overall – 8 on the bottom and 12 on the top. This gives you a lot of extra area to place your bud when you first insert it, meaning you won’t need to split it apart ahead of time. Arrange each piece of the grinder to sit upright inside the freezer. Leave the grinder in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Freezing the plant residue this way makes it stiffer and, as it freezes, it will start forming into small clumps rather than clinging tightly to the grinder, all of which simplifies the scraping of the residue out of the grinder.

If you’ve ever tried digging your kief out of a non-rounded tray, you’ll know why they were invented. With particles that are extremely tiny, trying to unload your kief out of something that has corners is incredibly difficult.

To begin, you need to think about how many compartments your weed grinder has. There are three types of weed grinders. Weed grinders generally come with one to three compartments. It’s not bulky, it’s simple and it’s effective.”Generally speaking, four piece grinders work pretty well to catch kief. It’s not bulky, it’s simple and it’s effective. You’ll grind your bud, catch your bud, and then filter it for kief. Nothing crazy, but it works. While these tend to be cheaper, that’s not always the case. Some four piece grinders can actually get seriously expensive. Rounding out our list at spot #4 is theSpace Case. Considered by many to be the ‘Godfather’ of grinders, it’s been around for a while. And with good reason – it’s a well-made product. Dump out leftover plant matter onto a plate or into a bowl. You'll save this material for later use. At this point, you're simply trying to harvest the stuff that's only loosely caked into the grinder; don't worry about the material still clinging to the chambers of your grinder. You'll take care of that in the next step. Another added bonus is since the Shredder doesn’t rely on super sharp teeth to do its grinding you won’t need to worry about them dulling down. This means that the shredder can keep on shredding for years to come.Finally, some weed grinders use rotating blades rather than grinding teeth. These grinders can produce a more uniform final product, as the blades cleanly slice the herb rather than forcefully grinding it apart into small chunks. Five piece grinders add an extra chamber on the bottom in conjunction with a second, even finer mesh screen. This is added with the goal of only catching the tiniest particles, refining your kief into only the strongest of the strong. This added bottom chamber ends up making the grinder much taller than most enthusiasts are used to. This reduces its portability and makes it a lot bulkier. Similar to the Masterdam Grinder, the Space Case includes very sharp teeth. The thing is, it includes a lot of them. The top section has 30 and the bottom has 24. With a total of 54 teeth, this thing can do some serious grinding. An herb grinder will allow you to evenly break down your buds, producing a high-quality product while also conserving your time, energy, and money. A good pot grinder will also double as storage or can even be used as another device, like a tobacco grinder. Plus, a marijuana grinder will help catch kief, the precious trichomes that contain a majority of the plant’s cannabinoids.
