We love this pepper grinder! (Update Below ... in two years our opinion hasn't changed!)It’s easy to use!The pepper grinds are beautiful!This grinder produces better flavor from the peppercorns!FLAVOR: We buy good peppercorns, in fact, I was looking for “even better ones” because our peppercorns didn’t have much flavor. FINALLY my “temporary” grinder died and we purchased this one. SUDDENLY, we could taste and smell the peppercorn!Same peppercorn, different grinder, and THE DIFFERENCE in flavor alone was worth the purchase.CAPACITY: I was worried because it didn’t hold as many peppercorns as my cheap terrible old one, but it grinds so finely there isn’t a need to worry! The peppercorn is lasting MUCH longer than the old one.ARTISTRY: I assumed two pieces of wood form the pepper grinder, but boy was I wrong! One piece cut into two pieces, then styled, shaped, and assembled so that the grains of the wood line up perfectly! IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!HANDLING:It’s clearly made by a company that understands you want to feel good about the product your using. It feels nice in our hands, it’s easy to use, and feels intentionally designed to make the experience delightful!PARTS:The wood and metal components are extremely well made! There is a plastic piece that keeps the grinder centered, it is well made too. ALL OF IT IS WELL MADE AND THOUGHT OUT!UPDATE:Well, it's been two years. You would think our opinion would change slightly, not really. We're still in love with our pepper grinder. The love has only deepened with time. It's now on the short list of items we gift to newlyweds or firsts-time homeowners. (Seriously, everyone needs this pepper grinder.)1. We've learned one interesting thing -- the size of the peppercorn storage space is to ensure freshness. Apparently, you do not want to have your peppercorn out sitting around for a long time. Freshness is part of the key to the incredible flavor the pepper mill provides.2. Durability. We use the pepper grinder almost three times a day, everyday. We're working from home so we use it for breakfast, usually lunch, and always for dinner. We LOVE pepper, so it's not like we're adding a splash here and there. The quality of the grind has not diminished! It's incredible. It's the same beautiful fine or chunky grind we need or prefer for various recipes (adjusting the tightness according to the need).3. Did you know you can loosen the mill and get chunkier ground peppercorn? This is amazing for steak and a dash of pepper on a fresh salad. When you tighten the grinder, use one of your fingers on the bottom to lift the components on the bottom to ensure it's going to be a fine grind. (These instructions are included with the mill.)Note: Although it sounds like I am being paid to review this pepper mill. I am not. We are huge fans.
