5 out of 5 stars
Perfect size pepper mill.
At 8" tall, it is a perfect size pepper mill for cooking in the kitchen and for the table. Currently I have a 12" pepper mill which is impressive looking and holds a lot of black pepper (so you don't have to refill often). I use that all the time and like it. But this compact 8" is a perfect size.It comes with steel grinder, which will last longer than ceramic ones. That is why the pepper mill costs more than the same sized salt mill.The design is handsome and looks well made. Add a jar of whole black pepper and it makes a wonderful gift, see my photo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Pepper Grinder on the Market! Has lasted well over 6 years!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2021
Verified Purchase
We have had this pepper grinder for almost 6 years now. I felt it time to give it a proper review. It is still working very well. The bolt at the top will still stay tight as needed and allow for adjustment for both fine and coarse grinds. Some times if you accidentally slam it onto the counter some pepper will come out of the bottom but hey, nobody is perfect, but other than that it wont really leak. It holds a pretty good amount of pepper too! it looks just like the picture and fits the measurements exactly. LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Also great to note the finish has not rubbed off at all! Its still as nice looking as the day we bought it!

Just as advertised. Solid wood and metal grinding teeth seems to be built to last.
Had purchased Another from a different manufacturer, turned out it had plastic tease and broke after a couple months. I like this one much better and the lifetime warranty is awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2012
Verified Purchase
I've purchased three of these now. They are excellent products. They look good and grind a large quantity of pepper quickly and well. The first one I purchased had a problem with the finish - it quickly got chipped and stained, even though I was using it gently. I contacted the company, and they replaced it at no charge. The replacement and the other two I've bought have had no problems with the finish.

I'm giving 5 stars for great quality and value, but I have two problems to mention. One is that the nut on top gradually becomes loose with normal use. It has to be tightened in order to grind properly. The other is that the description says the grinding mechanism is fully adjustable, but I've never figured out how.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple Traditional Mill
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2013
Verified Purchase
I wanted to upgrade from using the plastic disposable pepper mills built into the bottle you buy in spice isles. It's like using kids plastic safety scissors vs a nice metal pair. Simple two handed design; which means you'll have to clean your hands if you're preparing something messy if you don't want the mill to get slopped up. Adjustment is simple, depends on how tight you screw the top on. The tighter you make it the closer the blades. I'm not sure if it's actually made out of walnut. Mine doesn't look as dark as the one in the picture. The description says "walnut finish", I think it might be poplar with a walnut stain. Something else to consider is this will keep whatever you put in it completely sealed off from light; bright light can break down essential oils. Should hold up, it's a chunk of wood and the metal parts seem of quality materials (not an obviously cheap cast part). Time will tell...
If your still using the plastic grinder that's part of the bottle no matter how much pepper you use, make the upgrade. Buying whole peppercorns without the disposable grinder is cheaper in the long run and the 100 times better grind is worth it anyway.

I bought a second to hold white pepper if that serves as an endorsement. It holds about 1.25oz(35 grams) by weight of peppercorns or about 1/4 cup by volume. I've had one for a while and it has stood up well. The finish has taken a hits near the base but i think it adds character. It is a wood grinder, I bought it to take some abuse. It does medium to fine grind fairly well and despite other reviews I've had no problems with it holding a setting. It will do course but it won't get an even grind; I don't like course so it's not an issue for me. A spice grinder or mortar and pestle is a better tool for course grind. The old one works as well as the new one with no noticeable brake down over about a year. That being said I don't go through a ton of pepper; I'll use maybe one 5oz bottle of peppercorns a year. This would be a good gift if your trying to get someone into fresh cracked pepper. It works well, it's a good size, and if they don't like pepper anyway you didn't spend too much.

I cook all the time for my family of 11, and we are kinda hard on stuff!! I have had this mill for 7 years now and it still works perfectly! It has been dropped numerous time and who knows what else... I am just writing this review because I am really glad I did not have to buy a new one. My sweet 2 year old, took off the top metal nut that holds it all together and dropped it under the cup holder of our couch, into the abyss... I was finally able to fish it out with the help of my daughter! YAY!

Works very well. It's nice to be able to adjust the coarseness of the grind by turning the top cap screw. The blades are made well enough to grind easily and the wood is well made, strong enough that I dropped it one time on the kitchen floor and it didn't even leave a dent on the wood.

It may be difficult to pour the peppers into the mill, but it will help if you have a small funnel handy. Otherwise, you can do what I do and simply grab a piece of paper and roll it into a funnel, stick the narrow end into the mouth of the mill and pour the pepper inside. Works everytime.
