These mills grind from the bottom. Do they leave residue on your table/counter top?

Very, very minimal..if any at all. This pepper mill is the finest I have ever had.

They definitely leave residue on our counters. Both the salt and the pepper leave residue, but we notice the salt more as we have black quartz counters.

They are great salt and pepper mills in large part because the grain size is adjustable but your question addresses a point to consider. I have seen some residue on the countertop occassionaly but only from the salt grinder. It is not a problem for us and does not detract from these fine grinders.

When this happen to me I replaced them with these from Amazon. I dump out the grinds then rinse them very well after each use. This seems to help at least in my case. I have found that if you let the grinds sit in the filter until the next day it is much harder to get the filter clean.

No, so far the grinder has stayed dry. The grinder does not need to be cleaned every time it is used.

No mess. Usually cover the top with my hand while grinding. It is hard to adjust the grind setting as ther is not a good gauge. However it will grind any level from expresso to drip etc. hope this helps. It is a great little grinder.

Yes, especially if you use a cheaper blade type grinder, if you grind your own beans. To minimize particulates in the bottom you really need to use a coarse grind coffee.

This may be normal. Instructions say to clean out after use. Ours collects a bit of residue I attribute to normal operation.

If you purchased one our mills please contact us with your order number we take good care of our customers. Our Original Pump & Grind mills do not lose their grinding ability with time, this question should be address directly with us so we can in fact determine if you purchased a Grind Gourmet Original or a copy made of our mills. Thank you and have a great day.

I had no problem with grinds in the unopened machine, but sounds like it wasn't cleaned after testing.

My table had casting burs as well. A metal file will quickly smooth them. I cleaned up virtually the entire table, slots & edges.

Yes, but they leave aluminium spots. If you don't use the proper cleaner for getting them off, they will always stay there. I'm dissatisfied with the set because of this, it spoiled my glass top stove.

Yes you turn them over. They come with a plastic top which you remove.Great grinders, use them every day.

Since I use mine just for coffee, I can only answer for that. After grinding, I unplug it. Then, take a soft brush and brush it out. Then wipe it with a cloth dampened with vinegar.As far as I know the blades are not removable. I've heard some say they take a piece of crusty bread and grind it. This takes care of any coffee residue. IT's a great little grinder, by the way. I love it.

I use these at my work. We run them through the dishwasher there, but then polish them by hand. I've never seen the machine do any damage to them.

I'm not sure about that. I have only used the dry ones and I don't remember seeing wet ones. It would be interesting though. I don't see anything on the bottom of the machine it would hurt. Maybe you could send that suggestion to O'Cedar.

I've moved them a couple of times and had no residue. No idea how many times you can do this and maintain the "stick".

Yeh Bruce I was super anal about not "cross contaminating" my grind but I have not had an issue yet. Only issue I had was when I first bought this grinder I tasted a metallic after taste in my coffee. I was ready to return it but gave it a couple weeks and I'm glad I did. I think the burrs just needed to be seasoned. Which goes back to the question "SHOULD I clean my grinder, not WHEN.

Yes they are unless the flakes are extra large-Don't forget you cab grind them up in a coffe grinder to make them smaller.
