What do y'all use when making powder at home? Funny I should read your message now, as I just came from the kitchen after making powder out of pequins from the backyard! Still sneezing.... Picked up a Braun electric coffee grinder a few years ago, and it works great for making powders. Pulverizes the you-know-what out of anything: peppers, peppercorns, mustard seed, cardamom, allspice, you name it. Makes good coffee, as well.
