Know before you buy
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for peppercorns. Using it for salt or other spices can damage the internal grinding mechanism.
The Bistro mill is not dishwasher safe. To clean it, simply wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it immediately to preserve the natural wood finish.
Yes, you can adjust the grind by tightening or loosening the knob on the top of the mill. Tightening it produces a finer grind, while loosening it provides a coarser texture.
The 10cm size is very compact, making it ideal for tabletop use or for cooks who prefer a mill that fits easily in the hand. If you do a high volume of cooking, you may find yourself refilling it more frequently than a larger model.
To keep the wood in top condition, avoid exposing it to extreme humidity or direct heat sources. An occasional wipe with a food-safe wood oil can help maintain the natural luster of the finish over time.
