Know before you buy
The CeraPlus ceramic mechanism is harder than steel, making it resistant to corrosion and wear. This ensures the grinder maintains its precision over time, which is why it is backed by a 25-year guarantee.
You can easily customize your grind using the 6-position dial located on the mill. This allows you to select anything from a fine powder to a coarse grind depending on your recipe needs.
No, these mills are not dishwasher safe. To clean them, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the wood or the internal mechanism in water.
No, the Augsburg mills are crafted from solid painted beech wood, so the contents are not visible from the outside. You will need to open the top to check the fill level.
The set comes with a stainless steel spice scoop and a clip, which are designed to help you refill the mills cleanly and store your spices efficiently.
