Know before you buy
Yes, the ceramic grinding mechanism is designed to handle both peppercorns and salt flakes effectively.
Refilling is simple: just lift the top section off the base, pour in your salt or pepper, and replace the top.
The Hammer Grinder features a standard ceramic mechanism that provides a consistent grind, but it does not have an adjustable dial for varying coarseness.
To maintain the finish of the Oak or Oiled Teak, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking the wood in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals.
The Hammer Grinder is sold individually, allowing you to mix and match the Oak and Teak finishes if you prefer.
