Nobody starts off planning to spend almost $100 on a herb grinder. It’s crazy! You can get something that can do the job for a fraction of that! But life is a journey, and if your journey is anything like mine you’re going to have your heart broken by a succession of substandard grinders. They kind of work, but they get stiff and tough to use. The top and the bottom don’t fit together perfectly. They’re hard to clean – it seems like you can never really get the sticky residue off the teeth. And it’s not flexible – only one fineness of grind is possible.
So you come to something like this – the GR8TR V2 Jar Body Grinder by Kannastör. This is a great object, and a pleasure to use. It’s heavy in the hand, made of medical grade aluminum. It’s large and sturdy. It is reconfigurable in multiple different ways, from a 4 piece, to a 3 piece, to a simple storage puck. You can grind finely for a vaporizer, and easily swap out the grill for a medium for weed more suitable for joint rolling. There’s a windowed section so you can see how much weed you’ve ground. There’s a removable screen for sifting kief out of your flower if you want, and there’s even a compartment for storing a small amount of bud.

If I had one criticism it’s that it comes apart too many ways! More than once I’ve found myself unscrewing the wrong piece to get at the ground herb. And it’s not really portable – most weed grinders are pretty small and lightweight, but not the GR8TR. You can throw it in your bag, but you’ll feel the weight, and it’s too cumbersome to go into a pocket. But if you have a more or less permanent place set up where you generally go to imbibe your cannabis this will make a great addition to your toolkit. I certainly don’t regret leaving those cheap grinders behind.

I’m a matte black kind of guy, but it also comes in matte silver and rose gold finishes if you want to zhuzh up your weed preparation area a bit. If you’re looking for a stylish grinder with great grinding capabilities and don’t mind spending extra for quality and looks, then the GR8TR V2 Jar Body Grinder is worth considering. Just make sure you can accommodate its size first!
