The spice is right.

This clever, palm-sized mill knows a thing or two about nutmeg. You see, while pre-ground spices are all well and good, you can’t beat the zippy flavor and aroma of fresh nutmeg over roasted chicken, creamed spinach, or (need we say?) caramel-y apple crisp. And this handy device makes it super easy: Place a whole seed at the center of this sturdy grinder and give the handle a twirl of two. A tiny claw and stainless-steel double blade will team up to turn it into finely ground dust like *that*. And unlike with a zester or grater, you’ll never have to worry about scraping your fingers when you get down to that last little nub.

It’s such a breeze to use, you might even find yourself looking up recipes just so you can bring it out again (just us?). The roomy design even doubles as a storage container for up to eight nutmeg seeds.

Designed by a famous French pepper mill company, this handheld grinder’s whimsical, sphere-like profile is a nod to the shape of actual nutmeg—cute, right?—with an acrylic chamber that shows off your fresh spices. It’s good-looking enough to keep on your kitchen counter, or atop your bar cart when eggnog season rolls around.
