Rating: - Easy to use
I love this pepper mill. It is so easy to use and adjust. With my old mill, I had to find the place I liked for grinding every time I refilled. With this one just fill, screw on the top and adjust the dial to fine, medium or coarse. No fiddling around to find just the right spot. My husband thinks the coarse isn't coarse enough, but I think it is just right. And it grinds pretty quickly, too.

Rating: - RUST VS WILLIAM BOUNDS
I HAVE HAD A BEAUTIFUL STAINLESS WILLIAM BOUNDS PEPPER/SALT GRINDER FOR AROUND 3 YEARS, AND YES, IT IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS RUST AROUND THE BASE OF THE CYLINDER ON THE STEEL WHERE THE JOIN IS TO THE BASE. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD OCCUR, AND THE LIFETIME WARRANTY SAYS TO ME THAT IT IS NOT EXPECTED. I WOULD LIKE A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, RUST DOES NOT GO AWAY, IT JUST GROWS. SO PLEASE WILLIE, SOMEONE, HELP.

Rating: - The Pepper mill I've come to rely on
This is a good, smooth, and very fast pepper mill, that sits next to my oven and is apparently very durable. I use a salt well (a little mortar bowl) filled with kosher salt next to it, with a little wooden spoon to protect my hands from the salt. Together they are in constant use for every meal.

The "fine" setting on this mill isn't particularly fine, but it is a good setting and the one I use unless I'm specifically going for a coarse cracked pepper coating e.g. on a roast.

I fill it with Tellicherries bought in bulk from the SF Herb Company here in San Francisco.

I give this my recommendation (i.e. the best solution on the market) although I can imagine a couple of improvements.

For one, the grip on the handle could have a rotating cylinder around it, found on some of these mills. That way, it doesn't rub your skin; it moves with your skin. But that isn't much of a problem with this design (the grip is slick enough) and there are potential problems with that moving part too.

There could be a finer setting and the thing could be easier to fill perhaps, and the top sometimes starts to unscrew itself. None of these are major problems; as I said I can't find a better mill overall on the market and I've tried plenty.

Fun to read the inventor's testimonial on the box; he clearly faced the problem we all do and my hat's off to him for solving it.
