• ii) a plurality of upper grinding teeth holes, the plurality of upper grinding teeth holes configured to receive the plurality of upper grinding teeth,
• iii) a plurality of reciprocal upper plate magnets on the top side of the upper plate, wherein the plurality of reciprocal upper plate magnets correspond with the upper plate magnets when the upper plate button is inserted into the button hole and the plurality of upper grinding teeth are inserted into the plurality of upper grinding teeth holes, and
• iv) an upper plate center magnet centrally located on the upper plate and projecting perpendicularly from the bottom side of the upper plate opposite the upper plate button and in line with the longitudinal axis;
• c) a second housing configured to be positioned adjacent to the first housing, the second housing comprising:
• i) a second housing sidewall defining a second compartment, wherein the second compartment is cylindrical,
• ii) a base dividing the second compartment into an upper compartment and a lower compartment, wherein an outer wall of the second housing sidewall corresponding with the upper compartment is cylindrical and configured to fit inside the first compartment,
• iii) a plurality of lower grinding teeth projecting into the upper compartment from the base, wherein the plurality of lower grinding teeth are arranged in sets of concentrically arranged rings, wherein the plurality of lower grinding teeth are configured to pass by the plurality of upper grinding teeth when the first housing is rotated relative to the second housing,
• iv) a plurality of drop-through holes defined within the base and interspersed in between the plurality of lower grinding teeth,
• v) a lower button hole defined within the base centrally located and aligned with the longitudinal axis,
• vi) a plurality of lower plate magnets on a top side of the base,
• vii) an upper sidewall opening defined in a portion of the second housing sidewall adjacent to the lower compartment,
• viii) a second housing alignment marker on the second housing sidewall,
• ix) a plurality of second housing magnets on a bottom surface of the second housing sidewall adjacent to the lower compartment;
• d) a lower plate configured to fit inside the upper compartment of the second housing, the lower plate comprising:
• i) a lower plate button configured to fit inside the lower button hole,
• ii) lower grinding teeth holes configured to receive the plurality of lower grinding teeth, and
• iii) a lower plate center magnet configured to mate with the upper plate center magnet,
• e) a slide ring configured to be positioned in between the first housing and the second housing when the second housing is positioned adjacent to the first housing;
• f) a third housing defining a third compartment, the third housing configured to be positioned adjacent to the second housing and opposite the first housing, the third housing comprising:
• i) a third housing sidewall defining a third compartment, wherein the third compartment is cylindrical and configured to fit inside the lower compartment of the second housing,
• ii) a filter mounted on the third housing sidewall inside the third compartment,
• iii) a lower sidewall opening defined in the third housing sidewall,
• iv) an opening alignment marker on the third housing sidewall adjacent to the lower sidewall opening,
• v) a plurality of third housing upper magnets configured to mate with the plurality of second housing magnets,
• vi) a plurality of third housing lower magnets, and
• vii) a plurality of dispensing fins projecting from the third housing sidewall away from the filter, the plurality of fins encircling the longitudinal axis, wherein each fin comprises a base end operatively connected to the third housing sidewall and a free end, wherein the free ends of each dispensing fin is radially closer to the longitudinal axis than the respective base end of each dispensing fin;
• and
• g) a fourth housing configured to be positioned adjacent to the third housing and opposite the second housing, the fourth housing comprising:
• i) a fourth housing sidewall defining a fourth compartment, wherein the fourth compartment is cylindrical and configured to receive the dispensing fins of the third housing,
• ii) a slot defined in the fourth housing sidewall, and
• iii) a plurality of fourth housing magnets configured to mate with the plurality of third housing lower magnets.
