Spicer 180
Your secret to spice | Micro- Spice Grinder
The following Project is the product of a 3 day workshop organized by POC Lab, IDC - IIT Bombay in collaboration with Godrej.
Built with a sleek, minimal body,the Spicer 180 is a handy tool that redefines the traditional spice grinding experience giving you finely ground aromatic spices in seconds.
Spicer 180 can grind the above five spices easily, it was observed that cinnamon was the most difficult spice to grind, hence the product works on a principal that if it grinds cinnamon then it can grind the other spices as well.
The following points were kept in mind, the product must be :
1. Easy to use,
2. Easy to clean,
3. and must have a unique formal identity.
The initial stage of ideation helped us finalize the concept by combining the ideas with better scope and vision. Later we detailed two designs out of which one is Spicer 180.
Packed Powdered Spices loose their aroma and essential oils in a short period of time. Spicer 180 provides instant freshly ground spice which adds the original taste to the food, it has been designed specifically for the food lovers.

The above video is a simulation of the mechanism of the grinder. The spices go through a double grinding process. The first mechanism (crusher) breaks the spice into small pieces which are further passed through another mechanism (burr grinder) which reduces it down to powder form.
