Re: >Well, why don't you take a small coffee grinder >(just for spices) and grind the dried chiles to make >your own chipotle powder? I most definitely agree. I will add that if the chipotles are still leathery and flexible, you might want to dry them further ( I use an electric dehydrator) prior to grinding. Hi Guys, My Braun is not "powdering" completely enough, and it leaks, too. Any suggestions for an improvement? Tom
