[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I buy whole spices at the Indian store and grind in small quantities myself. Store them all in the basement fridge. They haven't gone off on me yet but I do use a lot of spices.[/quote]

Oh that is a really great idea! I should also probably invest in a grinder. heck I grind my coffee every morning, why not my spices! [/quote]

You will want separate grinders.  And I love this post.[/quote]

+1 - definitely get a separate grinder for your spices. I found this out the hard way, ending up with chili-powder-tasting coffee one morning. Even if you rinse out the blades really well, it's impossible to get the spices essence totally free from the machine.

I get spices at H-Mart and Lotte, where the prices tend to be better. Sadaf and Lisy are good brands. I like Penzey's for spice mixes. [/quote]

NP.  Is this a problem if you run different types of spices through the grinder?  Like, will I end up with chili-flavored allspice?  Or is it just that coffee specifically is mild enough to pick up the spice essence?[/quote]
