The spice grinder disclosed comprises a first component (12) including means for securing it to the neck of a spice container and a second component (14) mounted on the first component for rotation with respect thereto. The first and second components include grinding teeth in the gap between which spice corns are ground when the component (14) is rotated on the component (12). The rotatable component (14) has a transverse wall (82) and there are apertures (86) in the wall through which spice ground between said teeth falls from the grinder. A shutter is provided between the teeth and the wall and there are diametrically opposed arcuate slots (88) in the wall. A structure (96) for rotating said shutter is connected to the shutter and passes through the slots (88) so as to be accessible from the side of the wall (82) remote from the shutter. Operation of the structure displaces it along the slots (88) thereby rotating the shutter with respect to the wall (82). The shutter is configured to obstruct the apertures (86) to a greater or lesser extent depending on the position to which it has been rotated. |
