Herb Grinders

A herb grinder breaks dry herb into an even, consistent grind for packing a bowl or rolling. Most use two interlocking sets of teeth that shred as you twist, and multi-piece grinders add a screen and a catch chamber underneath. Toker Supply stocks aluminum, zinc and novelty grinders from GRAV, RYOT, Flower Mill, Human Grade, MJ Arsenal and Pulsar, with free discreet shipping in the USA.

How to Choose a Grinder

  • Pieces: 2-piece grinders just grind; 3-piece add a storage chamber; 4-piece add a screen and a bottom catch chamber.
  • Size: 2" grinders are pocket-sized; 2.5" is the everyday standard; larger sizes grind more per load.
  • Material: aircraft-grade aluminum is light and durable; zinc is heavier and cheaper; acrylic is budget and disposable.
  • Extras: magnetic lids stay closed, and some grinders add a cone funnel or jar body for storage.

Metal Grinders vs Plastic Grinders

A metal grinder keeps its sharp teeth for years and will not crack if dropped, which is why most regular users choose aluminum or zinc. Plastic and acrylic grinders are cheaper but dull faster and can shed small pieces over time. If you grind every day, a metal 4-piece grinder is usually the best value.

Herb Grinder FAQs

2-piece vs 4-piece grinder: which should I buy?

A 2-piece grinder is simplest and easiest to clean. A 4-piece grinder separates fine particles through a screen into a bottom chamber and gives you a storage section, so it suits regular users.

What size grinder do I need?

For most people a 2.5" (about 63mm) 4-piece grinder is the best all-rounder. Choose 2" if you want something pocket-sized.

How do I clean a grinder?

Freeze it for 30 minutes so residue goes brittle, then brush it out. For a deep clean, soak metal grinders in isopropyl alcohol, scrub with a soft brush and let them dry fully.

What is the bottom chamber of a grinder for?

In a 4-piece grinder, the bottom chamber collects the fine, powdery trichomes (kief) that fall through the screen. Many people save it and sprinkle it on top of a bowl.
