Know before you buy
Unlike mills that use plastic or ceramic components, the Skeppshult Swing uses two cast iron surfaces to crush the peppercorns. This method releases more of the pepper's essential oils, resulting in a more potent and aromatic grind.
The mill is not dishwasher safe and should be cleaned by hand. Because it is pre-seasoned with organic canola oil, you can simply wipe it down with a dry cloth or brush to remove any residual pepper dust.
This mill is specifically engineered for peppercorns. Using it for other spices or salt may damage the cast iron surfaces or lead to corrosion, as the mechanism is calibrated for the texture and hardness of pepper.
Not at all. The rounded base is designed to provide a stable, ergonomic grip while you grind, and it is weighted to sit securely on your counter. It also prevents the metal from scratching your surfaces.
Refilling is straightforward: simply lift off the FSC-certified walnut lid to access the internal chamber. Pour your peppercorns directly inside and replace the lid.
The 25-year limited warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal household use. It reflects the brand's commitment to creating a durable, heirloom-quality tool that is built to last for generations.
