After I have used this mill about 2.5 years 2-3 times a week to grind coffee beans has as some other reviewers the plastic enclosure of the grinder adopted. This product is advertised with the durability of the steel mill and use the plastic intake borders in my view to creating a predetermined breaking point. The mill itself is actually almost indestructible, but unusable once the plastic enclosure fails. Conclusion: Stay away from this mill when you should be more than decoration!
