From other under the name "powdered sugar mill" (my keyword) offered products, it differs in that it is not intended nor suited to loosen clumped powdered sugar and to make free-flowing again. It shows the latest, if you tried it. Rather, it is intended to grind granulated sugar or (not to big pieces) candy sugar or, as indicated by way of example on the packaging, "crushed cinnamon sticks". But that can also named other spice mills, one of which I used for years and years for coarse sea salt. Neither of Product representation on Amazon still on the manufacturers website becomes clear.
For quantities greater than a few teaspoons, for example for the preparation of desserts or pastries, where you also ever need 100g or a multiple thereof, this mill is also unsuitable. Before you ground such amount, the wrist is certainly stiff and swollen.
The distributor (manufacturer?) Keeps his device for self-explanatory and dispensed with any kind of instructions. On the cardboard while two pictures are printed with red arrows. But the cast very little light and were concealed in my case almost entirely of a non-detachable bar code sticker. The device is not self-explanatory, and certainly not for those users who know the very similarly constructed mills of competition: For WMF and IKEA can grind into the cover in and dosing so. The lid is placed there loose and has no connection to the grinder. Unlike here: The Cilio-mill has the part which fixes the two grinding wheels by means of screw thread on the bolt to which they rotate (WMF and IKEA a flat Kunstoffmutter) via an extension upwards connection to the lid. The lid has a guide turn out very easily breakable plastic which comprises the end of this extension fixed in the middle. That should obviously permit any challenge by turning the lid the grinder closer or further, to change the degree of grinding. Who is accustomed to the WMF or IKEA-mills, does not expect this "clever idea" and he turns the upper part of the mill together with the cover. The grinding bowls and wedged the plastic guide in the cover breaks out before one has ever yet felt any significant resistance. Besides the fact that this functionality is completely unnecessary - at WMF or IKEA simply turning toothed Kunstoffmutter - this would certainly have been an issue for a guide that, as I said, is missing. With leadership erupted in the lid, the mill works, and the fineness of grind can be, though a bit fiddly to adjust, but the lid is not properly secured and sealed.
For objects, intended to come into contact with food, hygiene is an issue. For me it is important that all parts that come into contact with food and can become lodged residues in or on them that can be easily cleaned with water and (normal household) brush or sponge. The grinders of WMF and IKEA can completely unscrew. All parts are then easily accessible to clean from the inside with a bottle brush and normal. When Cilio Mill access to the inside of the lower Mahlwerteils is barred by a Kunstoffkreuz (whose meaning still evident to me yet). Here you get at most a thin Tüllenbürste continue as they hardly heard the usual household repertoire. After rinsing it takes a long time until the moisture has dried in the crevices. Drying must be a crushing but because otherwise glued the ground material and possibly corrupts. What else to fix in the cracks and eventually get moldy or rotten, I do not like me think.
Last but not least: the attached to the box, according to informal term writable stickers were not there. I would have not even used, because such labels in use are rapidly ugly. In addition, so you can see what is in the clear glass container.
