Grinders

Grinders turn whole buds, herbs, and truffles into an even, fluffy consistency that rolls cleaner, packs tighter, and hits smoother. Azarius stocks over 40 grinders — from pocket-sized 2-part aluminium workhorses to 88mm non-stick ceramic beasts, electric mills, card grinders, and dedicated hash and truffle tools.

Buy a Grinder — Full Range Buying Guide

A grinder is a handheld tool that shreds dried herbs into an even texture — and if you've ever tried rolling a joint with chunky, hand-torn bud, you already know why this matters. Even grind means even burn, better airflow, cleaner vaporiser sessions, and no wasted material stuck to your fingers. We carry grinders in every format worth having, and a few you didn't know existed.

Grinder Types at a Glance

The table is the short version. Most people are choosing between a 4-part metal grinder with a kief catcher and a non-stick ceramic one — and the honest answer is that both do the job well. The non-stick wins if you grind sticky, resinous strains and hate the scraping-with-a-toothpick ritual. A classic CNC aluminium 4-part wins on price and lasts forever if you clean it once in a blue moon.

What We Carry

• 2-part aluminium grinders — the no-fuss pocket workhorses. The Metal Grinder RQS and its bigger sibling the RQS 2-part are our bestsellers for a reason.
• 4-part grinders with kief catcher — the Thorinder, Solinder, Dutch Passion Pollinator, Geisha, and the Tsunami range in 50/63/75/100mm.
• Non-stick ceramic grinders — the SLX 2.5 (in 50mm and 62mm) and the SLX BFG (88mm) for buds that actually refuse to fit anywhere else.
• Electric grinders — the Easyleaf with patented blade tech and the OCB x Wakit with ball-and-chain milling.
• Premium / designer — the HØJ KLIP slicer (with Funnel and replacement blades available), the Kube 3.0 by Krush, the Original Quick Grinder V3.
• Eco grinders — biodegradable hemp builds from Wiz Khalifa, Tyson 2.0, VIBES x Santa Cruz Shredder, plus the Royal Queen Seeds Recycled Grinder.
• Novelty & discreet — Grenade Grinder, King Skull Grinder, Death Star, and the 24K Gold bar.
• Specialist tools — the ZenPen stainless hash grinder, Black Marble Hash Grinder, and the Magic Truffle Grinder for prepping psilocybin truffles into tea or lemon tek.

How to Choose Your Grinder

New to this? Buy a 4-part aluminium grinder around 50–55mm. The Metal Grinder RQS Pollinator, Thorinder, or Black Leaf THC all sit in this sweet spot — pocketable, kief catcher underneath, magnetic lid, diamond-cut teeth. You'll grow into the kief chamber over a few months and thank yourself later.

Grinding every day? Order a non-stick. The SLX 2.5 costs more upfront but genuinely doesn't need cleaning — the ceramic coating stops resin dead. If you're burning through bud in bigger sessions, get the 62mm version over the 50mm. For real bulk work, the SLX BFG at 88mm or the Tsunami 100mm swallows whole buds without pre-breaking.

Wrist problems, arthritis, or just done with twisting? The Easyleaf and OCB x Wakit electric grinders handle the work. Tap the button, done. Worth knowing: electric grinders are louder and need charging, and you lose a bit of control over grind fineness. For vaporiser users who want a specific grind consistency, the Storz & Bickel Authentic Herb Mill was designed by the Volcano engineers and is still the benchmark.

Specialist needs? If you're preparing psilocybin truffles for lemon tek or a tea, the Magic Truffle Grinder is purpose-built — standard herb grinders gum up on wet truffle. For solid hash, skip the metal grinder (you'll wreck it) and get the Black Marble Hash Grinder or the ZenPen stainless steel hash tool. When in doubt, start with a Thorinder in your favourite colour. It's the grinder we'd put in a beginner's hand and not worry about them outgrowing for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best grinder for beginners?

A 4-part aluminium grinder between 50 and 55mm with a kief catcher. The Thorinder, Metal Grinder RQS Pollinator, and Black Leaf THC all fit the brief — diamond-cut teeth, magnetic lid, mesh screen, pocket-sized. Under most budgets and you won't outgrow it.

Are non-stick grinders actually worth the extra money?

Yes, if you grind sticky strains or grind daily. The SLX 2.5's ceramic coating stops resin buildup on the teeth and threads, so the grinder keeps turning smoothly for years. If you grind occasionally with dry herb, a standard aluminium 4-part is fine.

2-part or 4-part grinder — which should I buy?

4-part if you want to collect kief (the fine trichomes that fall through the mesh screen and accumulate in the bottom chamber). 2-part is lighter, cheaper, and pocket-friendlier but has no kief collection. Most people end up wanting the 4-part eventually.

How do I clean a grinder?

Freeze it for an hour, then brush the teeth with a stiff toothbrush — resin goes brittle and flakes off. For deeper cleans on metal grinders, soak the parts in isopropyl alcohol for 20 minutes, then rinse and dry fully. Skip the alcohol soak on non-stick ceramic grinders — a brush is enough.

What size grinder should I get?

50mm for pocket carry and solo sessions, 62–63mm as a daily driver for most people, 75mm+ for batch grinding or group use. The Tsunami Glass range covers all four sizes if you want to compare. The SLX BFG at 88mm is built for full buds without pre-breaking.

Can I use a herb grinder for hash or truffles?

No — and you'll regret trying. Solid hash gums up the teeth and wrecks the threads; get the Black Marble Hash Grinder or the ZenPen instead. Fresh psilocybin truffles turn to paste in a metal grinder; the Magic Truffle Grinder is the purpose-built tool.
