Grinders can be found in various sizes, shapes and made of different material. Which one would be the best for your needs depends on how much money you are ready to spend and also on how often you intend to use them. Grinders are made of plastic, wood, acrylic and metal. They can be electric or manual. People say that they collect different amounts of kief with different grinders. Kief refers to trichome or crystals, the most potent and pure part of the herb. The quantity and quality of kief depends on the dryness and quality of herbs and also on the size of the holes in the grinder. The smaller the holes the better kief you will get. When buying a grinder make sure that it has a compartment on the bottom or a screen. This screen filters out the buds and you will notice tiny amounts of dust or kief there. You can buy grinders in Head Shops, online stores or make your own. Most grinders that can be found on the market have a kief catcher that collect pollen crystals during grinding.
