The mill was very good. It is in your hand and does not slip in your hand during grinding. I really like the idea that the grinding hole, after using the grinder, is on top and is covered with a lid; the spice that stays in the jar does not breeze and does not scatter the remains after grinding on the kitchen counter. I think that a perfect complement to the grinder would be a set of interchangeable jars. My kitchen is a bit rustic but the mill, which stands on the \ "view \" perfectly blends in with the surroundings.
