Zassenhaus Brasilia Coffee Mill, Beechwood Manual Coffee Bean Grinder, Traditional Hand Crank Coffee Mill,Natural/Chrome

As have some others found, the grinder tended to slip and slide when I was turning the crank. So ... I went to Staples and bought an inexpensive mouse pad, cut it down into a square that matches the grinder's base and then glued it in place. No more slip and slide:

I just received this wonderful, coffee mill. Saturday, September 20th, 2014. I made coffee 2 different times that day, the coffee didn't taste like coffee at all, in which was my own fault, not the coffee mill. So the next day I decided to turn the the the little nob some to the left, it wasn't bad. Tasted so much better, so the same day I turned it a little more, I was rather amazed. WOW! I use a heavy gauge stainless steel stove top old fashioned coffee pot. I no longer use any electric coffee pots. I bought 3 electric coffee pots in 5 months time. I love the one I have. I use a silicone mat when I use my coffee mill, or even a rubber mat works just as well. I have never had coffee grounds all over the counter. Mine seems to be well made. I was very impressed. The only thing that comes to mind, is maybe some of you are over filling the mill. Keep some super glue around just in case. I keep super glue around all the time. It just comes in handy. I have no complains with this coffee mill. I absolutely love it. And will tell many others. Plus it has a 25 year warranty on it. I haven't found this on anything; anywhere else. I'm very very happy with mine. The price is reasonably. I give it a 5 plus stars.
