Know before you buy
The Atlas Copper Salt Mill features a natural copper finish. Like all solid copper, it will develop a unique patina over time, though you can maintain its original luster with a standard copper polish if you prefer a bright look.
No, this specific model is engineered exclusively for salt. The grinding mechanism is calibrated for salt crystals, and using it for peppercorns may damage the internal components.
The grind size is adjusted by turning the screw located at the top of the mill. Tightening it produces a finer grind, while loosening it allows for a coarser output.
The Atlas Salt Mill does not include a base. Because it is a manual mill, we recommend placing it on a small plate or coaster if you are concerned about salt residue on your countertop or dining table.
Yes, the mill utilizes a corrosion-resistant stainless steel grinding mechanism designed to withstand the abrasive nature of salt. It is built for longevity and consistent performance in a busy kitchen.
