Is this grinder certified by NSF for food service?

Hi, it is not NSF and that is what matters. Don't give up price on a grinder to save money, get the best one you can because of what it can do. Look at the Mazzer Mini Type A or B, especially because your are going in business.Spagsespresso

No, it is not NSF certified. However, thousands of them are in daily use across the nation and round the world in food service applications. You MIGHT find someone challenging your use of it perhaps in inner city New York, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles. I know of a couple dozen coffee bars that use Baratza grinders exclusively, are regularly inspected, and have never had the issue raised. At a price of $129, though, you are not putting much at risk. If they do challenge you on that issue, simply bring it home and use it there, or sell it to a friend to use at home. As far as usability and reliability, these are almost as good as the far more dear units by the name brands. I have used thes same machine for retail production myself, and as long as you are not using it constantly it runs cool enough it never presents any problem. I've seen hand brew bars with a whole row of the bigger brother to this machine (the Vario, Vario W, and Fort) each with its own single origin coffee. NBo health Inspector has ever looked askance at their setup. Of course, they meticulously maintain the entire place, so there is the impression that all is in perfect order. We have these in stock, and are happy to ship immediately. Hope this answer fills your need. The crew at Buen Cafe

Sorry I don't know. My daughter wanted a grinder and this had some good reviews. She likes it a lot so it must be pretty good. Good luck

not sure what exactly your asking. if your asking if the meat has a metal taste or is discolored from the grinder then no. as long as you clean it properly

I'm not sure what NSF is.... But I love this cutter. We own a small business and use this cutter everyday. We have sure got our $$$$$ worth! It has done an excellent job for us. I give it 5 stars!

The grinder basket (for grinding grain/coffee/spices/etc.) is plastic. I have no idea if it is BPA-free, but as it isn't heated, it shouldn't be an issue. The baskets used for making milks/pastes (in other words, the ones subject to heat) are metal.

Hello Thea! I'm sorry I am just now seeing this message. Our grind mechanism is made of high quality stainless steel, in fact the original designer of these mills is in the business of metal so he made sure the very best quality was used. I hope this helps! Maria, Owner Grind Gourmet

Not sure. It is a wet grinder typically used to make batter for Indian cooking.

It's been a while since I purchased mine, but I'm pretty sure it is. Table salt wouldn't need a grinder anyway!

I have no idea. I don't recall if I even knew it existed. I should have though because my grinder broke in about a year.

As the product info states: "Norwesco tanks are manufactured using resins that meet FDA specifications to ensure safe storage of potable water, and where applicable, our tanks are also NSF approved." THAT SAID, I went over mine with a fine-tooth comb, and cannot find the International Food Safe symbol anywhere on it. Nor do I see the NSF seal on it.

I don't believe so checking the following site. http://info.nsf.org/Certified/Food/

I don't have the product handy, but if you scroll down to the "Product Description" section, it states, "Approved by UL, NSF certification."

It is not NSF certified, and specifies on the unit that it is not for commercial use.

I still store it in it's original box. It is a Weston Product and the brochure says it is precision steele and the feeder funnel is tin coated for food safety. In my life I have had 3 meat grinders. In the 1950's, again in the 1970's and this one. This is far superior to any we've had. Very heavy duty and our grinder came with many attachments. A good investment.
