Surface deteriorated,
March 17, 2011 This review is from: WMF Ceramill Electric Salt/Pepper Mill (Kitchen)
I bought this mill a few years back and always liked its performance. It ground peppercorns effortlessly and reliably, so no complaints in that regard.
However, I recently wanted to use it again after having kept it on the shelf in the dining room for a good while (several months) and much to my chagrin the soft-touch rubberized surface had deteriorated and turned extremely sticky.

The ceramic grinding mechanism does not clog, and seems to be durable. The batteries seem to have good life. The hole to refill is quite large enough (I always hated the traditional holes to fill grinders, requiring some maneuvers with a sheet of paper as a cone or some other funnel device).
The not so good: Loud--when you add pepper, everyone notices. The finish is nice, but probably better suited to a kitchen rather than a dining room. After grinding, there will be pepper left over in the bottom (partially crushed that will fall out on the counter/table once...Read more
