Received my FinaMill and had it operational in no time. Very intuitive as to installing the batteries, but I did check specifics for cleaning the top of the pods for the first time. I like the ease of filling the pod as there is no obstruction to the peppercorns etc pouring into the pods. Changing the grind size couldn’t be easier either. You can change the pods with ease. You simply set the FinaMill down and press down then up and over to the next pod, place grinder on top and press down. No having to turn the FinaMill in a specific direction. So simple and wonderful. Spices stay fresh longer if ground as needed. Highly recommend the FinaMill. Bought the Midnight Black for my daughter for Mother’s Day this Sunday. I know she will love it too. Don’t forget Father’s Day, birthdays, wedding/shower gifts and of course Christmas. Enjoy your FinaMill as much as I am!
