I've been cooking since the '80s, owning many different pepper mills over the years, but this is first to blow me away. It's easy to load, easy to operate (grind), easy to adjust, and best of all is that the grind quality is just fantastic. Very fine to extra coarse and everywhere in between, you get just what you're after - fresh ground pepper. And the build of the mill, I can't imagine a better mechanism with an overall quality. I highly recommend this Crush Grind Mill from The Spice House.
