Know before you buy
This mill is specifically engineered for hard spices such as whole nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and long pepper. It is not designed for soft or oily spices like peppercorns or cloves.
The top of the mill features an airtight chamber that allows you to store your whole spices directly in the device. This keeps them fresh and ready to grind whenever you need them.
The mill is designed for ease of use and requires only light pressure to operate. The soft-touch coating provides a secure, comfortable grip, making it accessible for most users.
The unit is designed to disassemble easily, allowing you to access the stainless steel blades for thorough cleaning. We recommend hand washing the components to maintain the sharpness of the 128 teeth.
Thanks to the 128 ultra-sharp, USA-made teeth, the mill produces a very fine, aromatic powder. This consistency is ideal for baking, finishing dishes, or adding depth to sauces.
