Definitely like the looks. Bought one for our home and one as a gift. When grinding only a small amount it tends to make a bit of a mess but larger amounts less so. The gifted grinder has had a problem with how the bowl attaches to base so she hasn’t used it too much. We haven’t used ours too much so since being told that, I have babied the way I clean it when I unattach the bowl from the base.
