The best pepper grinder ever madeThis is by far the best pepper grinder in the world ! It is dependable , keeps working forever . Years ago I bought one, the kitchen size which is larger at one of the bargain stores and my son stole it from me ! I bought one of these smaller ( table size ) grinders fir him and I had to purchase the larger size right from the company ! This is by far the best grinder you will ever use . A lot of control with the coarseness of the grind .

Good (but not great) for grinding flax seedI want to add flax seed to my diet and read that ground seed can go rancid fairly quickly. It’s better to buy whole seed, store it in a cool, dark place, and grind as needed. So I went looking for a grinder.The Kuhn Rikon Mini Vase Grinder grinds flax seed well as long as you set it to fine. On the coarse setting whole seeds (which are indigestible) come out. (It doesn’t come with a user guide but it seems that you put a little pressure on the wheel when you are adjusting the setting.)I really like the size. I can leave it out and it is both cute and unobtrusive. It is the same height as a jar of peanut butter and I can just get my hand around the narrow part with my middle finger and thumb touching.Unfortunately, the size is also the source of my frustration. I planned to start slowly, with a couple of cranks of the grinder and, as my body got accustomed to the additional fiber, add more. A couple of cranks on this is a tiny amount, less than “a pinch.” That’s the combination of the fine setting needed for flax and it’s being so small. Little grinder = little wheel.It gets the job done and I am keeping it but I think this grinder is more suited to things like salt or peppercorns which can be ground a little coarser.

CheapTerribly disappointed. Cheaply made in comparison to a Large set I’ve used for 15 years. Changing brands for higher quality and a larger size.

Upgrade from the older larger modelI’ve had the larger version of this grinder and have used it for maybe ten years to grind spices for individual recipes. It has been a great product so I bought this mini version for the kitchen at my cabin. It is an improvement over the old larger model in that you screw off the entire black top and load it from the top. For the old larger model you have to turn it upside down and remove a rubber plug on the bottom in order to load more spices. Note that the second of the four pictures on Amazon mistakenly shows the old model (you can see the plug on the bottom). The first and fourth pictures are correct and show the mini version with no plug in the bottom. I also like the mini size which has more than enough capacity for my purposes.

Easy to use.So far seems like it will stand up to use. Small size is a plus.
