I did not buy it for myself but I would totally get one lol. I thought this would be a great present for one of my husbands friend who is a major star wars fan. It looks awesome! It seems well made with great detailed painting, shiny and smooth all over. I am not sure of it's grinding ability but I am certain any star wars fan would love and apperciate this little gift and if it doesn't grind well, it will look good in the kitchen lol
