Expert Reviews
What reviewers liked
Easy to adjust the size of the grind. Now to see how long they last without clogging or breaking.
Its carbon steel burrs allow for precision grinding and we loved the fact that its adjustment mechanism actually features a scale, for less trial and error when hunting for a particular coarseness setting.
It features a precision mechanism for getting the best flavor out of your peppercorns. It does not just crush them, it has a machine-cut and hardened carbon steel mechanism which acts to strip them down and remove their individual layers as it grinds.
Easy to use adjustment settings that allow 6 pre-set levels of precise, consistent output.
Pre-set Adjustable Grind Levels – Each mill has a their own pre-set grind levels suitable for the seasoning used.
Salt mill features a diamond-cut ceramic grinder with 3 settings, and effortlessly takes on large, hard sea salt chunks.
Various grinding settings; one-step refill; classic look.
What reviewers didn't like
After about 9 mo. the salt shaker worked fine but the pepper grinder was less than dependable. Now, a year later the pepper grinder doesn't work at all but the salt shaker continues on.
There is some concern voiced by real world users in reviews about the markings for the grind settings rubbing off, so keep this in mind. Because the see-through design of this affordable model makes it possible for the peppercorns to be exposed to sunlight, you may want to store this one inside the cabinet to keep the spices from losing their flavor too quickly.
Expensive. Leaves stray salt as the dispensers are placed at the bottom. Only the grinding mechanism comes with a lifetime warranty (Not the entire product)
They do not come cheap.
Pricey, but the quality and performance is unrivaled.
Mechanism could use some fine-tuning, more expensive than other models
