The silver one from my order is BRILLIANT. I’ve actually started using even more freshly-ground black pepper in my food; I can use it even if I’m cooking a huge pot of something and literally need a 1/4 cup of freshly ground pepper. I have NOT used other mills because of how bad Amazon feedback has been about them; I did my research and found this as the top choice on America’s Test Kitchen, and knew we had to have them (initial plan was for the red one to be for coarse salt, silver for pepper…but we’re fine without the salt one).
I would ABSOLUTELY recommend the living daylights out of the product; I’m a teacher making baarely enough to live in Silicon Valley, yet your mills were worth the splurge. A+++!!! It’s like the Porsche of peppermills!
