I lusted after these grinders for months before purchasing. They only got less than 5 stars because the top comes just a little bit loose during use and the aim is a little wide, so a tiny bit of pepper tends to get on the table if you're not careful. Ergonomically I find them very well designed, the grind is very smooth, and I must say I would buy them again. They meet my requirements of any kitchen device: functional and beautiful without fuss..
