Know before you buy
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for salt. The ceramic mechanism is calibrated for salt crystals, and using it for peppercorns or other spices may damage the grinder.
The HELICOIL® system uses a spring-loaded tension design that locks your chosen setting in place. This prevents the knob from loosening or shifting during use, ensuring your grind remains consistent every time you season.
The chestnut-finished beechwood is best maintained by wiping it down with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the mill in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack.
The lifetime warranty specifically covers the ceramic grinding mechanism against defects in materials and workmanship. It ensures that the core functionality of the mill remains reliable throughout its lifespan.
The ceramic mechanism is highly versatile, allowing you to adjust the output from a coarse, crunchy texture all the way down to a powder-fine consistency suitable for delicate seasoning.
