I bought the grinder in 2013. It's stylish and worked great until about a month ago. Then the mechanism wore out a bit and it stopped grinding - after 7 years. However, Cole & Mason honored the lifetime warranty and shipped me a new one once I produced a copy of the receipt.
As long as you get the right kosher or rock salt, this grinder is perfect , adjustable grind levels help add the right amount and the ceramic grinder keeps it from rusting - I live near the ocean!
Love the ease of changing settings and the differences in the the grind. It takes very little effort to grind pepper. Love this and will recommend to others.
The Cole & Mason copper salt and pepper mills are a very stylish addition to our table. They are both modern and timeless, adding a sophisticated and eye-appealing touch to our dining experience. Additionally, the smooth operating grinding action, along with the multiple grind size selection on each mill, provides just the right amount of seasoning for each user. While the gift set comes with each mill partially filled so that you can enjoy them immediately, it would have been a nice touch to have full mills out of the box.
