FinaMill Smart Kitchen Mill

FinaMill Smart Kitchen Mill is an innovative electric spice grinding system that revolutionizes the traditional approach to spice preparation in contemporary kitchens. Designed by Alex Liu, this sophisticated culinary tool features a groundbreaking interchangeable pod mechanism that effectively addresses the long-standing challenges of cross-contamination and single-spice limitation in conventional mills. The device, measuring 85x85x220mm, operates on either 3 AA batteries or USB power, incorporating advanced circuitry to protect its motor and gearbox systems. Its ingenious quick-release mechanism, capable of withstanding over 250,000 engagement cycles, allows for seamless single-handed operation while cooking. The design's technical sophistication is evident in its efficient power consumption, grinding over 1 kilogram of salt on a single set of batteries. Winner of the Platinum A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware Design category, this mill represents a significant advancement in kitchen technology, combining user-centric design with practical functionality. The system's innovative approach to spice grinding is protected under Patent no. PTC/CN2019/107332, demonstrating its unique technical merits. The development process, spanning over a decade, involved extensive research including robotic arm testing for durability, sound wave analysis for operational efficiency, and comprehensive thermal loading studies, resulting in a product that effectively balances reliability, efficiency, and functionality.
