would this be a good choice to grind spices or coffee or would a single use tool be a more powerful and reliable selection?

Description: Cuisinart makes it quick, clean, and easy to blend, prep and whip a variety of ingredients with one hand. One-button operation activates the blender’s powerful 200-watt motor for continuous or pulsating blending, and a comfort-grip handle reduces arm and hand strain as you create in the kitchen.

A single use tool is going to be the better choice here. Especially for your coffee. In order to acheive the grind required to produce the best cup of coffee or espresso, you really should be using a conical burr coffee grinder. They are also designed not to give off quite as much heat so that you do not risk scorching the bean during grinding which can lead to a bitter cup of coffee. I have attached a couple of options below. I have also attached an excellent option for an herb mill that will mince your herbs without bruising or tearing them and thus preserving their full flavor
