This review is from: William Bounds Universal Spice Mill with Flax Seed
The William Bounds Universal Flaxseed Mill is elegant-looking, but somewhat difficult to use. The ceramic grinding mechanism works fairly well for flaxseed. It takes 25-30 twists to grind 1/2 teaspoon. However, the curved top does not offer much grip. The cap must be removed for each use, a flip-top or pop-top that stays attached would be a huge improvement. I prefer to store my flaxseed in the refrigerator between uses, for longer shelf life, but the glass bottom becomes very slippery with condensation when removed for use. A different material or non-slip coating would have worked much better.

This review is from: William Bounds Universal Spice Mill with Flax Seed
This might be perfectly fine for spices, but for flax seed it's a joke. Most of the seeds come out whole for your trouble. I was disappointed because I love that the storage compartment is glass. Upgrade the grinder mechanism and it would be wonderful.
