A mill that grinds. What is not obvious. Had a came out of WMF, from absolutely nothing except minimal pepper dust. The milled from discounters not bad, but the refilling droned the lower part, and then fell into the soup. This seems to be better resolved. Lights can also be good, so you can see what one pepper to the meal. The only drawback for Meticulous: you leave fingerprints on the matt black plastic. Therefore a (half) star deduction.
