The mill in black piano lacquer look is not only a treat for the eyes! Have decided after some research on grinders and other quality characteristics for Cole & Mason Pepper Mill and never regretted it. The grinding performance is top notch (unlimited warranty on the grinder) thanks grinding of hardened carbon steel. The grain size can be very precisely adjusted to the desired size and the peppercorns reach their full aroma always fresh, because they are peeled from the spring grinder before. Even with a small rotation will come out a decent amount, so that you can barely - was "turning effort". Filling as known by unscrewing the head. Adjust the grind on the screw by hand in keeping the mill rotated 180 degrees - ie upside down. Cleaning by simply wiping with a damp cloth. Add to that the great timeless appearance, so they are like presents on the table and it is almost too good to be just in the kitchen. Update May 2014: no quality limitations - I'm still very pleased with the mill!
Keep my reviews always up to date, so that there is an optimal estimate of the time of use.
