I bought these grinders based on the recommendations of Americas Test Kitchen and I am glad I did. These grinders are excellent. To the reviewers complaining about the grinders leaving a lot of excess salt and pepper after grinding and the grind adjusters being hard to adjust, they have not taken the time to consider how the mechanism works. In both cases, turning the knobs on the grinders in the opposite direction of grinding releases most of the excess salt and pepper and the reverse motion also unloads the tension from the grind mechanism which will then allow for easy adjustment of the grind setting.
Great pair of modern stainless steel salt and pepper mills. Very pretty and functional. Was tired of my battery operated ones always breaking and purchased these. I love that I can adjust the coarseness of both the salt and pepper.
I really like the set. The pepper mill is easy to use and the quantity of pepper you get with each turn is a lot. It’s so easy to pepper and steaks & burgers now. The salt mill is less useful but makes for a nice table setting.
I love my Cole & Mason Derwent Pepper Mill, Stainless Steel! It is everything advertised. It looks great, functions well and the selectable grain size is wonderful!
Love my new Salt & Pepper Mills. They are sleek and stylish and easy to grasp. I would highly recommend this model to all of my friends and family. I know their products are of high quality and durable, my last mills lasted nearly 10 years. I am only replacing them because of the price and looks of my new ones.
