We bought the mill in stores and our old WMF mills from stainless steel and glass were allowed to retire. We bought the mills in cream and orange and we are very enthusiastic about the haptics. The round Mühlenkopf indulges the hand and thus the mill distinguishes itself from the usual crowd. The grinding of salt and pepper is wonderfully light and there is also plenty of ground material from the mill. The grinder is made of ceramic, this was one of the other reasons I would not buy other than grinding. I would not wish a cap from below, but is not required zwigend.
