I am editing my review after using the mill some more. I did a batch of mustard seeds soaked in vinegar. It didnt grind any better than dry seed. I discovered the grooves in the bottom stone were filled with compacted ground mustard making it smooth and slippery. I scrubbed the stones with a brass wire brush under scalding hot water. Since then, the mustard seeds grind perfectly and totally on the first pass through the mill. The bottom stone does not get compacted any more. Ive done three batches and the mill works flawlessly. I can grind a lot of mustard pretty quickly. Go to the hardware store to get the brass brush. Its the best way to scrub the groovrs clean, wet or dry. Im really pleased with this mill now. Prior review: I specifically bought this stone mill for grinding mustard seeds for my farmers market business expansion into condiments, dressings, and gourmet vinegars. It arrived safely this morning at the post office with nothing broken or missing. The mustard see.d’s are tiny, and at first they just rolled through the mill without crushing. Once the stones had some ground in them, it began working great. Yes, I had to put the batch through 5 times before I was satisfied, but its the tiny size of the seeds, not that the mill is faulty. It amounted to a lot of ground mustard, tho. I have to hand stone grind my mustard to be consistent with my eco farm product philosophy. Once there is stuff in between the stones, the top stone rotates easily and quickly. The mill does not slide around on the table because its heavy. I’m not interested in grinding hard wheat for bread, so don’t rely on the reviews saying this mill is tiring or hard to use. It depends entirely upon what you put in the mill to grind. The mill is beautifully crafted and polished and is a work of art. I am very happy and satisfied with it. It is worth the cost. The current discount coupon and payment options on my Amazon credit card made it attractive and affordable. For my purposes, this mill is a winner.
