First of all it gets pepper all over the table. I have one that has its grinding part at the top so when you use it you turn it upside down. Then set it back down with the grinding part at the top and it never makes a mess. Doesn't this bother anyone else?

To Fluffenut: I don't think you understand what I mean. Think of the mill being flat on the top so when finished you could turn it upside down on the table. I have one like this and it's so much better than the traditional "upside down mills."

To Xjoizey: If they weren't made upside down we wouldn't have to put a little dish under it. duh

Are you by any chance a Libra, Mary? 'cause that really grinds my gears, too. I say....let's invent a proper pepper-mill pronto!

The are gravity fed, pepper corns on the top, fall into the grinding apparatus and ground pepper out the bottom. Ideally you keep it upright as you grind. Of course that requires pushing your elbow out and smacking the person sitting next to you.

I have had my peppermill for years and also have a white countertop. Never seen pepper on the counter after using it.
