Yes, the BLACK+DECKER CBG110SC can be used for nuts and spices, but with specific limitations:

Freshly ground nuts like almonds or hazelnuts have distinct flavors. Clean the grinding bowl thoroughly after use to prevent flavor transfer to your coffee. Use short bursts for a coarse grind when processing nuts.

The grinder can only handle dry, brittle foods. It will not grind anything moist, extremely hard, or gummy such as whole ginger, chocolate, sesame seeds, or oily spices like cinnamon, cloves, or nutmeg.

Do not grind peanuts or grains such as wheat, rice, barley, or dried corn, as attempting to grind these may damage the unit.

Freshly ground peppercorns and spices have strong aromas that may affect the flavor of coffee beans ground afterward. You may wish to use a separate grinder for these items.

The unit is also equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent the removal of the outer cover. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel as there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
