The mill is very robust and compact design, so that it does not take away a lot of space and is quick to set up. The grinding is made of solid glass, keeping with the enclosed cover well back the flavorings. The grinder is made of very good material Lien, so that the ground material is very uniform. The grind can be set up on the screw with the lock washer (from very fine to a little rough). The setting itself requires some practice, but it's worth. I can only recommend the mill, who wants to grind his coffee beans with love and by hand ;-)
