I bought this to replace a coffee grinder SEB who served me over 20 years and had just burst. The new mill has the advantages of a more powerful engine (200w 170w against) a studied mechanism (oval receptacle against circular, which clearly offer an improved milling quality than the former) and a sober and simple finish. I also use it to mold spices well as coffee. Armed with a brush silicone dry cleaning, it works very well without wetting the mechanism. I hope a long life as successful as the old!
