Visually appealing great mill, but disappointing in use

First the positive: The design and feel of the mill is really first class - which had me (unfortunately prematurely) led for sale. By now I regret buying but since then it bother me several things on this mill:

- Size and weight: the one hand, the metal casing is really great, and it summarizes the mill also like, on the other hand, the mill is thus pretty hard fall and the housing is also unusually wide, so that the fall of the mill with the mill base is not as easy on the goes hand how the wishes of an everyday commodity. While you can remove the container, but in practice you will want to do it rarely.

- The milling vessel has not got a polished inner surface, but a brushed. This leaves an oily material to be ground (coffee, nuts, as well as fresh herbs) stick to the inner surface of the container and almost can not even be just quickly wipe with a cloth.

- The lid is very thick and high quality, but he concludes - due to the Moulinex 1-2-3 printing technology - the milling vessel not tight fashion, so especially ground coffee powder is excreted and then the outside ugly settles between container and white casing edge.

- Cheap Cable Management: The power cord is unfortunately cost, ie performed without any cable reinforcement and sealing by a sharp-edged hole in the mill. When my predecessor mill it has exactly this transition (also without amplification) where a cable break. It is also feared that someday liquid will penetrate into the housing through the unprotected opening by awkwardness in the kitchen. It is not to understand why Moulinex has skimped here at the wrong place, especially since the mill is not exactly cheap.

What remains is an eye-catcher in the kitchen, but I will probably replace this mill to a perhaps not so beautiful but for practical Hanz mill pretty quickly.
