5.0 out of 5 stars the BEST - worth the high price, October 28, 2006

I read about this mill in Cook's Illustrated or someplace, and despite my frugality and cheapness, I decided to treat myself to it. Three years later, I am very impressed by this mill's powerfulness:

Very ergonomic, and you don't have to exert yourself too much to make it work.

Very easy to fill - the easiest one to fill. (I will NEVER go back to the traditional mill!) In a few years, there will be made in China imitations of this one (made in Italy).

Black plastic does not look plasticky, rather, looks modern, hefty and elegant, and easy to wipe clean.

Again, I think if you wait a few years, there will be a cheaper, good-enough imitation to buy, and you will save money. But I doubt that the knock offs will have the heft, the workmanship, and the beauty of this one.

Believe me, I looked for a copycat, but this mill is pretty special!

4.0 out of 5 stars One little flaw, July 31, 2006

Very good mill, but the direction of rotation of the grinder is the same direction as the same as that needed to open the fill port. You can open it and spill if not paying attention, or if too much vino has been consumed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lack of longevity is an issue, December 16, 2008

This review is from: Magnum Peppermill - 6-Inch

I also purchased this mill based on a review in Cook's Illustrated. It worked well for a couple of years, although I also experienced the design flaw with the filler opening that can easily open when you don't want it to. The disappointment came when the plastic cracked around the axle of the grinder mechanism, rendering the mill useless. It shouldn't be necessary to discard and replace a tool after only a couple of years of moderate use.
