Hello!
As usual, while scrolling through Instagram, I heard about the 'Daiso electric grinder' that had taken mommy cafes by storm, and before I knew it, I was checking stock with an app. As expected, most were sold out! I barely found a store with stock and rushed over like a busy bee, grabbing three.
Though I thought 'What's all the fuss about...', I was lured by the 5,000 KRW price tag and bought the Daiso electric grinder! I'll tell you all the honest pros, cons, and tips I discovered by grinding salt, pepper, and sesame seeds myself, to see if it's really worth the sell-out craze!
✅ So, What are the Specs? (Product Information)
- Product Name: Daiso Electric Grinder (Product Number: 1052154)
- Price: 5,000 KRW
- Power: 4 AA batteries (purchased separately)
- Key Features: One-touch button, grind coarseness adjustment, built-in LED light
- Material/Size: Stainless steel, ABS / 5cm x 22.5cm
👍 Advantages That Made Me Say "Amazing!"
1. The Price Forgives Everything (Overwhelming Value for Money)
Honestly, this is the biggest advantage. The fact that you can buy an electric grinder, which usually costs 20,000-30,000 KRW, for just 5,000 KRW! You can experience a change in your cooking's quality for the price of a cup of coffee. It's an overwhelmingly good value that makes any deliberation about 'should I buy it?' pointless.
2. The Design, Really for 5,000 KRW? (Minimalist Vibe)
The design is cleaner and prettier than expected. The matte, light beige tone blends well with any kitchen. After buying several and placing them side by side with salt, pepper, and sesame, they look quite like stylish interior decor items.
3. Smarter Than I Thought? (Unexpected Features)
The basic convenience of just pressing a button with one hand and hearing 'whirring-' is a given! It also has a grind coarseness adjustment function, so you can grind coarsely for steak or finely for pasta, and an LED light even turns on when it operates. This 'unnecessarily high-quality' feature, which accurately shows how much you're sprinkling even in the dark, makes cooking more enjoyable!
👎 However, the Disadvantages That Were Honestly Disappointing
1. A Fatal Flaw: 'Lack of a Bottom Cap'
This was the most disappointing aspect. When you use it and put it down, residual powder leftover between the grinding blades spills out. You definitely need a separate tray to prevent your kitchen counter from getting messy.
2. A Bit Lacking in Delicacy (Grind Quality)
While it clearly has a coarseness adjustment feature, the particles aren't ground perfectly uniformly. This might be a drawback for those who do delicate cooking like professionals.
3. Inconvenience in Cleaning & Maintenance
Because it's an integrated unit, it's difficult to wash it thoroughly with water. I felt that those sensitive about hygiene might find this a bit uncomfortable.
💡 Tips to Overcome the Disadvantages! (feat. Smart Daiso Living)
- Tip 1 (Preventing Powder): Try using a 'diatomaceous earth cup coaster' or a 'mini sauce dish' sold at Daiso as a dedicated tray for the grinder. It prevents powder from scattering and adds to your interior decor – two birds with one stone!
- Tip 2 (Smart Cleaning): When changing contents, put in 'coarse salt' and grind it once. This effectively removes any residual spice smell and residue. For daily maintenance, just brush it clean.
- Tip 3 (Preventing Clogging): When grinding oily ingredients like sesame seeds, gently shake it up and down just before use. It will grind much more smoothly without clumping.
🤔 So, Should I Buy It or Not? (Final Conclusion)
To sum it up: if you're a 'first-time electric grinder user', buy it without hesitation!
Of course, compared to more expensive products, there are undoubtedly shortcomings in durability, grind uniformity, etc. However, the price of just 5,000 KRW makes all these disadvantages understandable.
For those tired of the inconvenience of manual grinders but hesitant to spend a lot on an electric one, this will be the best choice. I highly recommend it as a 'king of value for money' item that upgrades the joy of cooking!
🎁 Want a Step Up? Rechargeable Grinder Recommendation
The Daiso grinder is an excellent 'entry-level' product for experiencing the convenience of an electric grinder. However, if you've tried it and fallen in love with its convenience, and are someone who enjoys cooking daily, finds battery replacement bothersome, and desires more robust durability and performance, I recommend investing in a higher-tier product.
The perfect product for that is the "WorldPro Rechargeable Electric Pepper Grinder".
Its biggest advantage is that it's 'rechargeable'. You don't need to bother buying batteries; you can easily charge it with a USB-C type cable, making it much more economical and convenient.
Furthermore, with its more solid construction and powerful motor, it enables more uniform grinding, and most models come with a bottom cap, perfectly solving the biggest drawback of the Daiso product: powder spilling.
"Start with the good value Daiso product, settle with the high-performance rechargeable product!"
