DESIGN & ERGONOMICS
One of the best-looking contemporary mills: restrained steel-and-clear-acrylic silhouette, well balanced, with a pull-off top that makes the UX unusually good.
LONGEVITY
Lifetime guarantee on the grinding mechanism; body is robust but less repairable than a simple all-metal mill.
