Got one. It’s fine. Does everything I need it to.

Not entirely sure why I picked that one when we needed a pepper mill to be honest with you, but we’re happy with it. Google research is SOP for me before purchasing almost anything, so I’m certain it was highly recommended by… multiple someones.

Not every grinder probably works like this but, if it can, it’s faster and easier to cycle the grinder back and forth than it is to turn and release.
