grinder brands: Elements, Head Chef, RAW, Herb Saver and more
Elements, Head Chef, RAW, Herb Saver and more. what each brand does differently.
a grinder is teeth and a thread. what separates the brands is the metal, the teeth and the small stuff: the screen, the magnet, and whether you can replace the parts.
- Elements and RAW come from HBI, the same company as the papers.
- Head Chef is a UK brand.
- Herb Saver is a grinder and a storage pot in one.
the brands
Elements
4-piece aluminium with diamond teeth, a magnetic lid and a screen. Elements anodised.

reading the size
| size | what it's like |
|---|---|
| 50mm and under | pocket size. small amounts. |
| 55 to 56mm | the common middle. |
| 60mm and up | more room, more weight. |
the mm is the width. it's the diameter of the grinder, not the height. a 4-piece and a 2-piece of the same mm fit the same hand.
the full range of herb grinders is sorted by size and pieces.
the short of it
Elements or RAW for solid aluminium from the paper people. Head Chef for a UK brand. Herb Saver if you want storage built in. Flower Mill if you'd rather have a mill plate than teeth.
