Trnsformer ad says it's 500W, 2.3A; 'sounds like output amperage to me -
220V x 2.3A = 506W (efficiency unk). Grinder: 1/3 hp (an assumption?)
746W/3 = 249W. I think the trnsformer will handle grinder.

The grinder is made 110v also, so universal motor strap may be in place?
Possibly, but high-volume (i.e. relatively low cost) consumer
products tend to be more optimized than that.
I dunno what the thing sounds like - blender or other, but it is
coffee grinder so prolly loud?
Every small coffee grinder I've ever seen, except a hand-cranked one,
is as loud as a political rally. Universal motors are small and
powerful, but relatively short-lived and loud. Relatively inexpensive,
too.
Here is a transformer at ebay that might work?

Maybe. Don't know if the 2.3A rating is at 110 or 220V.
Difference between 200+ and 400+ watts. Your grinder
might need more than that, depending on its electrical
efficiency.
Here is the grinder
$87 shipping? Not going to end up being all that attractive
a deal, I wouldn't think.
