Great mill. Used the white one for pink rock salt. The upside down design prevents spill on table. Not too plasticky but not very elegant either. The mechanism is plastic. It fell apart after 3+ years by wear. Not very durable.I got the wrong color, the item and box were both broken; so I complained. They sent another but it broke as soon as I tried to use it :(These are amazing, order them, order some great salt and pepper and wait. Go to your kitchen, find all of the other salt, pepper and dispensing tools and burn them in your front yard. These awesome kitchen tools are all you will ever need, forever!Absolutely, ZERO buyers remorse, and these ain't cheap!This grinder type salt and pepper shakers does a perfect job of holding coarse salt and peppercorns for instant, convenient seasoning at the table. Your s+P will come out at the fineness you choose to be suitable for any dish. Super high quality, ceramic grinders will last virtually forever.I bought this because they advertised wet salt capabilities. I used celtic salt. Unfortunately the salt gets stuck outside the grinding mechanism. Often times I have to knock the salt out of the shaker. The fresher the salt (i.e. wetter) the worse it is. And even hitting it doesn't release all the salt. They should have designed the outlet area outside the grinder to not be so narrow. Wet salt accumulates too easily.Not problems with grinding peppercorn.Buena calidad, luce muy bien, recomendadoI got these because my other brand new grinder would not work for wet salt. This does work, it just takes a while to build up a pinch of salt. I imagine it's the nature of the beast they call Celtic Sea Salt. I've read where people dry there salt first. However, from what I discovered, a lot of those great nutrients are in that "wetness", and when drying the salt in the oven you are killing off that part of the nutritious benefit of the salt.I love grinding coarse salt, but the humidity where I live just rusts the stainless steel ones. This one has been awesome.Quality glass and stainless steel. It feel solid in the hand. Great control to adjust grind from tiny to huge and everything in between. Opens in two pieces for refill, very easy to fill with large opening. Works great on coarse salt and pepper corns. It grinds better than any mill I've tried, just a couple half turns is all i need, compared to 2-3 turns on others. Only reason I give it one star off is due to the lid design. The lid just sits on top and must be removed and placed back on each time. Not only is that inconvenient but I just know I will loose it. Just wish that part of the design was better. That being said, i still recommend it. It's still great even without a lid.Grinds really well, which is the main thing, very easy to use and they feel solid. A definite step up from cheap ones I've used and having the ability to change to coarser or finer grinds in nice especially for the pepper. My wife really likes to use them and for the way they look as well so they get top points for this alone.Compré este producto, Amazon solo se hizo responsable por los primeros 6 meses, después de eso me dijeron tenía yo que contactar directamente al fabricante, NO tienen distribución local pero Kyocera afortunadamente respondió y me envió reemplazo en garantía, el detalle, tuvo que ser a un domicilio de USA, pero aún así trataron de dar una respuesta. Se les hizo MUY raro AMAZON NO diera la garantía.AMAZON simplemente se lavó las manos, y por lo que da a entender Kyocera era tan sencillo como pedir la garantía y enviaban sin costo el reemplazo.We got a defective unit but found out too late.One of the two snapped apart in a very clean way. It seemed to snap back together but a few weeks later fell apart. We were again able to get it to snap together but don’t entirely trust it.The second one seems very solid and shows no sign of being able to separate in the same way as the first. I like it more than our higher-priced French branded one. The adjustable grind is very consistent and does not take much effort.Incredibly smooth grinding, very attractive, and great value for the money. Wish they held a little more, but that's just because I use them so regularly now.
