All completely fair critiques. Grinders are an obsession of mine, probably 15 that I have currently and dozens over the years. Just to clarify price pre-tax or S&H, currently a small aluminum with three grind plates is US$112 (20% off on the GFL site, one plate aluminum is $70 and change, SS small with one plate is $120) on sale compared to $89.95 for a large Santa Cruz (on POTV and their own site). I don't get money from any of them, just to be clear.

You're not the first person I've heard say that their BCG got gunked up, but I haven't heard many in the last five years. The SCS is a solid grinder, produces a grind quality that is comparable, and is also comparable to the BCG as far as resistance to clogging. The BCG's threadless design is the major point of differentiation and eliminates the only complaint I personally had with the SCS; threads gumming up. Having owned both for 5+ years, I think they are the two best herb grinders that you can buy.

Also, never get a four-piece BCG. That thing was trash. I know people lover the Old Mate Designs grinder, but the ball bearing is gimmicky and it flings ground bud when spun. Any of the grinders mentioned will provide adequate home defense when paired with a sock.
