Which Dutch-Smart grinder will you choose?
A grinder is incredibly handy if you often work with herbs or tobacco, for example. After all, there’s no other device that grinds your material as effectively as a grinder. You can, of course, use a mortar and pestle or other tools from your kitchen drawer, but with a grinder, you can be sure your product is ground without destroying the important compounds. And why is it so useful to grind your tobacco, herbs, or soft drugs? Because it burns better that way, allowing you to retain not only the flavor but also the effect you expect.
But which grinder should you choose, and what should you consider when making your choice? We’re happy to tell you, of course. If you look at the selection of grinders in the Dutch-Smart online headshop, you’ll quickly see that you have plenty to choose from. There are grinders made of acrylic (plastic), wood, and metal, and they come in all sorts of shapes. We’ll explain what you can expect from each type.
Wooden grinders
People who choose wooden grinders do so mainly because of the look these little gadgets have. Wood often looks luxurious, especially when it’s carved and features an image or brand name, for example. Like this grinder with a cannabis design. Wooden grinders appeal to many people because they look so cool. If you don’t use the grinder very intensively, you can get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Are you, on the other hand, an intensive user? Then there are a few things you should keep in mind if you choose a wooden grinder:
- Because the amount of work involved in making a wooden grinder is quite substantial, this grinder often has only one compartment;
- They aren’t very easy to clean
- If scratches appear after frequent use, you’ll need to keep them extra clean
- For the reasons above, wooden grinders don’t last as long as other types.
Do you just want a nice grinder that you use occasionally? Then a stylish wooden one is a great choice.
Metal grinders
Robust, nice and sturdy, and often very luxurious to look at: metal grinders. They’re a bit more expensive, especially if they’re engraved with a logo or an image, but you get a lot in return. Metal grinders come in many different shapes and generally last longer than wooden or plastic grinders. Because metal is also very durable, metal grinders ultimately offer the best performance. The only downside we can think of is perhaps the slightly higher price. But then the question is: would you rather have a great grinder that lasts a long time, for a slightly higher price? Or do you want a cheap grinder that you’ll have to replace sooner? We’ll leave the decision up to you!

Plastic grinders
If you’re looking for a grinder that’s easier to clean than the wooden version and cheaper than the metal one, a simple plastic grinder is a great choice. Handy if you’re really looking for a simple, affordable solution. They’re often available in a wide variety of styles and colors, so for a reasonable price, you can get one for home and one for on the go. Keep in mind, though, that plastic is a much less durable material than, say, metal, and a crack or chip can form quickly if you don’t handle it with care. But hey, even then, you can get a new one for just a little money.
