Grinding flaxseeds in a coffee grinder

This shiny contraption is my new coffee grinder. 

Being from the country which drinks the most tea per capita in the world, I had never owned or ever really seen a coffee grinder. But, I wanted ground flaxseeds and didn't want to pay €7 per bag! So I figured that buying a €10.50 electric coffee grinder (Al Campo hypermarket own-brand) which could be used to grind up (much cheaper) whole flaxseeds would be much cheaper in the long run!

                           

With a few pulses it has magically turned whole seeds into a powder fit for porridge and baking!
