You can find a good coffee grinder on Amazon for
less than $25 and a pound of flax seed should never
cost more than $2. So this is a very expensive
way to add flax to your diet. As to the book, I find
myself leery of works with tites like:"...A True Aid."
Flax seeds are a pretty good addition to a diet. They have
a wonderfully nutty taste that adds character to baked goods
and hot cereal. They are very high in soluble fibre and can
be toasted in a skillet or incorporated in the crust of breads.
There are a few things you should know before buying this
product however:
* again, this price is quite high. A pound of organic flax seed at
your local store should cost less than $2 and you can find a
good grinder for $25.
* flax seed meal goes rancid easily. you can tell if rancidity
has set in by a slightly bitter taste to the meal. The best
way to incorporate flax in your diet is to buy fresh whole
seeds from a source that turns them over frequently and grind
them yourself.(a small electric coffee grinder that you can buy
on Amazon will do the trick.) Flax seed oil is even more
perishable.
* the fatty acids in flax are no substitute for the EFA's in
fish or fish oil. The ratio of 3's to 6's is way too low and
research has established that most of us do not convert one to
the other.
* when you first start to add flax to your diet, be sure to
drink a lot of water.

I too read all the reviews... I spent several hours, so let me save you the trouble. This item is sturdy, washable, compact, and grinds beans for anywhere from 4-12 cups of coffee.
I use it for both my 2 cup french press and my percolator, when my mill & brew coffee maker, which I have two carafs and 3 baskets for, is busy. We really get into coffee here - I must have 10 varieties of beans in the freezer.
It also did a fabulous job grinding hazelnuts very fine for a cookie dough where the hazelnuts were, in effect, part of the flour.
I do love that the grinder basket and top can go in the dishwasher, and the little brush that is stowed on the back is a thoughtful and utilized addition.
The only drawback would be that if you are only making 2 cups of coffee and you want a course grind, you have to let the machine think you're making 8 cups, by moving the cup setting, as this machine is intended to grind beans for a minimum of 4 cups. When I make enough coffee for my percolator, I can get an intermediate course grind with no problem.
What sold me was this: After I read all the reviews I went to my local "megamart," found the grinders, opened up the boxes of the makes I wanted to compare, and I literally took things apart and put them back together.
Like another reviewer warned, stay away from those other grinders with the tiny (you can barely see them) plastic pins that engage the start button. Once those bits of plastic break off, you're SOL.
This is a very reasonably priced maker which I've had for 6 months. I love it so much, that for much of that time I've felt just a bit guilty that I hadn't yet praised this maker on Amazon. With that done - it's time to grind some beans. :) Enjoy.
PS: It looks very pretty/handsome on the counter.
