Know before you buy
HELICOIL™ technology prevents the grind setting from loosening or shifting during use. This ensures your pepper remains at your preferred coarseness level consistently, even with repeated twisting.
This mill is specifically engineered for peppercorns. Using it for other spices, especially those with high moisture or oil content like sea salt, can damage the carbon steel grinding mechanism.
You can adjust the grind by turning the top knob. Tightening it produces a finer grind, while loosening it provides a coarser output.
Yes, the mechanism is made from case-hardened steel, which is significantly more durable and wear-resistant than standard steel. It is designed to maintain its sharpness and precision over years of regular kitchen use.
The mill stands at 4.75 inches tall. Its compact size makes it comfortable to hold and easy to store, while the wood body provides a natural, secure grip during manual operation.
