Know before you buy
Unlike traditional blade mills that chop pepper, the HexMill uses a burr grinder to crush peppercorns consistently. This process releases more essential oils, resulting in a more potent and aromatic flavor profile.
The HexMill is specifically engineered for non-corrosive spices like peppercorns. It is not recommended for salt, dried herbs, or other spices that may cause corrosion or damage the internal mechanism.
The grinder features an adjustable dial that allows you to toggle between ten distinct levels of coarseness. This gives you precise control, ranging from a fine dust for sauces to a coarse crack for steak rubs.
No, the HexMill is not dishwasher safe. To clean it, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and avoid submerging the internal grinding mechanism in water.
The bottom cap serves two purposes: it catches excess pepper residue to keep your countertops clean and allows you to pre-grind a specific amount of pepper for recipes that require precise measurements.
