Know before you buy
Yes, the durable ceramic grinding mechanism is designed to handle various spices, including salt, peppercorns, and even coffee beans.
Since the wood is finished with a food-safe wax, you should wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals, as these can damage the natural wood grain.
The mill features a high-quality ceramic mechanism, but it is designed for a consistent, standard grind rather than an adjustable dial for coarse or fine settings.
The top of the mill is designed to be easily removed, allowing you to pour your spices directly into the chamber before replacing the cap.
Because it is made from solid, natural oak, the wood may develop a unique patina with regular use and exposure to light, which is a natural characteristic of the material.
