Expert Review and Insights
The Waring WSG60K is a classic for a reason. It’s compact enough not to hog counter space, yet the motor has the grunt you'd expect from a much larger machine. It’s the sort of reliable, no-fuss tool that quickly becomes indispensable for elevating marinades, sauces, and spice blends from good to truly exceptional.
Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →
- Power & Speed: The 20,000 RPM motor makes incredibly quick work of hard spices.
- Batch Size: Ideal for fresh, daily grinding rather than large-scale bulk production.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Tandoori Courtyard," a popular Indian restaurant in Leeds, was looking to elevate their authenticity by moving away from pre-packaged, bulk-bought spices. They needed a robust, commercial herb grinder for kitchen use that could handle daily grinding of tough ingredients like cloves and cardamom.
"The difference in aroma alone was staggering from the first day. We can grind small, fresh batches for each service, and our customers have noticed. The vibrancy it adds to our sauces is something you just can't get from a jar."
Rohan Mehta – Head Chef
The switch resulted in a noticeable improvement in food quality, contributing to a 10% increase in positive online reviews mentioning flavour and authenticity within three months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
- Upon delivery, check the unit for any signs of transit damage before plugging it in.
- Place the grinder on a flat, stable, and non-slip countertop to prevent movement during use.
- Always wash the stainless steel bowls and lids with warm, soapy water before their first use.
- Ensure the safety interlock is engaged correctly; the machine will not operate otherwise.
Keeping It Going
- Always unplug the unit from the wall before attempting to clean it or remove the blades.
- Wipe the motor housing with a damp cloth only. Never submerge the main unit in water.
- The stainless steel bowls and lids are easy to clean. Wash them after each use to prevent flavour build-up.
- Periodically check the blades for any nicks or damage to ensure a consistently fine grind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this grinder handle wet ingredients like ginger and garlic?
A: Absolutely. Thanks to its sealed lid, you can add liquids like oil or water to create wet pastes with ingredients like ginger, garlic, and fresh herbs.
Q: How fine can it grind spices?
A: With its 20,000 RPM motor and pulse function, you can achieve anything from a coarse, cracked texture to a very fine, powder-like consistency.
Q: Can I grind oily items like nuts or coffee beans?
A: Yes, it's powerful enough to grind coffee beans and turn nuts into fine powders or, with longer processing, into nut butters.
Q: What is the 'Continuous ON' feature for?
A: It allows the grinder to run without you needing to hold the button down, which is ideal for processing slightly larger batches or making smooth pastes.
Q: Is it very loud in operation?
A: As a high-performance commercial unit, it produces a robust sound during operation, but it's very brief due to how quickly it grinds.
Q: Can it handle very hard spices like whole nutmeg or cinnamon sticks?
A: Yes, it's designed for this. For best results, break larger, tough items like cinnamon sticks into smaller pieces before grinding.
Q: Are the stainless steel bowls dishwasher safe?
A: While they are very durable, we recommend hand washing the bowls and lids to preserve their condition and ensure they are perfectly dry for the next use with dry spices.
Q: How do the two included bowls help?
A: Having two bowls is perfect for busy kitchens. You can grind pungent chillies in one and delicate spices in the other without stopping to wash up, preventing cross-contamination of flavours.

When you see 'grinder', you naturally think of dry spices. But the genius of the Waring WSG60K is its sealed, clear-view lid. What does that actually mean for your kitchen? It means this machine isn't just a grinder; it's a mini-blender for intense flavours.

This allows you to create incredibly fresh and potent wet pastes like Thai green curry paste, Italian pesto, or a fiery chimichurri right in the grinding bowl. It turns a one-trick pony into a versatile flavour creation station, saving you time and washing up.
