Excellent Grinders
on April 20, 2025
Posted by: RPS
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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Salt and Pepper grinder
on November 17, 2021
Posted by: Sonya R
These salt and pepper grinders are beautiful and I love how they look. The issue I had was the top does not screw on. They are kind of tight but not tight enough. When I picked up the pepper by the top the bottom fell and spilled peppercorns everywhere. Since we have a busy kitchen with kids this just was not going to work for us so I had to return them.

Beautiful

This salt and pepper set is gorgeous The set itself is sent in a nice box that is perfect for gifting or treating yourself. The stainless steel looks beautiful with the glass. This is such a high-quality set. I was wanting something to replace my old, outdated plastic set that I've had entirely way too long. These were exactly what I was looking for. The grinders are sent loaded with nice sea salt and peppercorns so you can use them right out of the box. They are extremely easy to use and while I tend to have a hard time with some mills, these could not be easier to twist. They can adjust to suit however fine or course you would like the spices. Refilling is a breeze. These really elevated my dining room table. I am still wowed by how nice they are. Absolutely worth the splurge. They are wonderful.

I have been in search for a grinder set that delivers. The challenge I have is that 99% of grinders spit out a few specs of pepper with every turn. I then find myself turning the grinder 50 times to actually get the amount of pepper I want in the dish I am making. This grinder throws out a tremendous amount of pepper with each turn. I was actually shocked by how much pepper comes out. I know this set it a bit more expensive than others out there but worth every penny.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Leaves a mess everywhere
on June 12, 2025
Posted by: Lisa
We've had this set for about 6 months. The salt mill was replaced because the top kept coming off when you picked it up, spilling salt everywhere. The set is beautiful and functions well, but has one fatal flaw -- it leaves a mess of salt and pepper everywhere. No matter how careful you are, any time you set it down on a surface, salt and pepper fall from the bottom of the mill onto the table. I am so tired of wiping away piles of salt and pepper granules from every surface in my kitchen. I would not recommend this set solely for this reason.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Looking and Superb Function

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.
