Product Description

A smaller version of our large spice grinder with solid handle and impressive results. The minimalistic grinder form is universal, but a well-known function is turned on its head: the ceramic grinder is located on the top and does not spill on the table.

Customers love these salt and pepper grinders for their modern neutral colors that complement most decor, and appreciate their velvety soft texture and ergonomic design. The grinders are well-constructed and easy to adjust for different coarseness, though opinions about the plastic material are mixed, with some finding it unbreakable while others describe it as feeble. Customers disagree on the size, with some finding it perfect while others consider it large, and while some say they're easy to clean, others find them impossible to keep clean.

Modern salt and pepper grinders minus the mess
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2014
Verified Purchase

I have waited about a month to give my 5 star rating, just to make sure there were no product flaws. Here is my verdict:

Pros:
- well constructed
- beautiful soft finish with wooden tops
- adjustable grinder for different salt/pepper coarseness
- very easy to grind
- grinding mechanism at the top, so you don't get the mess on the table as with other grinders
- holds a fair amount of desired spice
- Price - I saw these in a boutique store for $130
- easy to wipe down

Cons:
- if handled with oily finger marks, they show up (but easily wiped off)

All in all, I saw these before I bought them and was very excited when they arrived. They are well constructed and look nice when placed on a table. Most visitors didn't actually know what they were though. They are nice and soft under the hands and the modern neutral colours go with most things. Would buy them again if anything happened.

Fly paper grinders!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2019
Verified Purchase
As other reviewers have mentioned, the rubbery surface breaks down and becomes tacky and horrible to touch. I have only ever wiped them down with a wet soft cloth, and they have been sticky feeling almost the entire time I’ve owned them. With the amount of use these have, which is barely any, this should not be happening. Today, I decided to take them apart and clean them with dawn dish soap, thinking it was some kind of build up, and I maybe haven’t scrubbed them hard enough, but when I went to dry them with a cotton towel, they’re all the sudden sticky again! It’s like they’re made of fly paper! Gross! These grinders are not cheap, so the company needs to use a different material. I know there are certain kinds of plastic that are matte, and would not degrade like this. If you’re going to charge this much for grinders, you should listen to complaints and fix the problem! I want to love these grinders, they look absolutely gorgeous on my counter, but I don’t want to touch them!

disappointed.!
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2016

disappointed. yes it looks awesome but it's a mess to use it. real salt is good for health and has lot more magnesium. and it attracts moisture. this bugger frequently gets jammed and you have to bang at back to push real salt out. but wait... if that worked I would have no issue but the joint is so feeble that you need to be very careful or else it will open and then you have to clean all up.!
internals are plastics.! yuck. I hope it has steel stem though I am not sure... so if it falls then story over :( I have to be really careful with it and I really really hate feeble lock. so much so that if you try to pick up from upper part it may open and the mess again.! and I did clean up the locking mechanism but it is feeble plastic that probably can lock only 1/5 the size of it... so I had to fill it real low like less than 1/4. and no I don't allow guests to use it because they might pick it up from top half - natural for anyone - and that can cause it to open and might make a big mess if it opens halfway during flight to plate. aah.! I really wanted to like it but it is just not recommendable.!

Beautiful and Works Well But Wish They Were Heavier and Sturdier
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2018
Verified Purchase
I first discovered this grinder set on the Food52 blog and immediately fell in love. I was glad to see I could also purchase it here. When they arrived, I was a bit disappointed (hence the one star loss). They were the size I expected and the color I expected but I was hoping for a heavier weight. They are plastic and they really look it, too. I waited to use them as I let them sit in my dining room. I would pass by them daily to decide if I should keep them or return them. After a week or two of sitting there going unused, I filled them up with salt and pepper. They both grind beautifully and effortlessly. I love me some freshly ground pink Himalayan sea salt and black peppercorns on top of my dinner and I'm now content with keeping this set on my dining table.

All form, no function
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2015
Verified Purchase
These look good on my counter, but after having them for about a year, a couple gripes: (1) The flat matte finish on the exterior shows stains and fingerprints easily. I tend to get my hands dirty when I cook, and every night I have to wipe down the oily fingerprints/sauce marks that I leave on the grinders. (2) As other reviewers have noted, there is really only one grind size, and it's large flakes. The twist function on the top of the grinder that is supposed to change the grind size doesn't appear to have any significant effect. I don't mind this, but if I was a serious cook, I'd need another pepper grinder for cooking to produce a smaller grind. (3) These are quite large, and look disproportionate in my small kitchen. This isn't necessarily a downside -- just be sure to read the specs before purchasing.

Impossible to clean sticky residue
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2022
Verified Purchase
I never write reviews, but I do have to warn others of the sticky residue problem with these grinders. They look great (especially initially) but almost immediately begin to develop a sticky residue that both looks nasty (especially on the white/off-white grinder) and feels gross to the touch (which is not what you want when dealing with food). I've tried cleaning with soft sponge and soap & water as recommended by the manufacturer (no luck) and even tried putting them through the dishwasher as a last resort (no luck). For the price you pay for the design, it is unacceptable that it is impossible to keep them clean.

These are awesome for both design and function!
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2013
Verified Purchase
I saw these at a specialty design shop in CA for a lot more than they were here on Amazon, so I bought them. I love the design and they function extremely well too. My husband (who generally could care less about what things look like and doesn't like to spend money frivolously) actually commented on how much he liked them!

Ein Klassiker skandinavischer Formensprache!
Reviewed in Germany on December 1, 2016

Sie sind recht groß. Sie sind recht teuer. Sie bestehen im Wesentlich aus Plastik. Warum bitte sollte man sich diese Mühlen kaufen. An anderer Stelle gibt's von namhaften, in vielen Fällen europäischen Herstellern für weniger Geld wertigeres geboten. Und dennoch: diese Teile sind Toll. Warum? Zunächst wäre da einmal der Umstand, dass sich das Mahlwerk an der Oberseite befindet. Im Einsatz wird er einfach umgedreht. Damit sind nervige Salz- und Pfefferbrösel am Tisch in aller Regel passe. In weiterer Folge: gutes Handling durch samtig-griffige Oberfläche in Kombination mit der Größe der Mühlen. Und las but not least: das Design. Ein echter Hingucker, der auch als reines Dekoelement seine Daseinsberechtigung hätte. Einziger Wehrmutstropfen: die Soft-Touch-Gehäuselackierung ist in der Tat recht anfällig für Flecken aller Art- besonders Fett. Für eine möglichst schonende Pflege sei dem potentiellen Käufer der Einsatz eines gut ausgewrungenen Mikrofasertuches ans Herz gelegt, damit die Freude an diesem Produkt von Dauer bleibt. Conclusio: ein Pflichtartikel für Liebhaber minimalistischer Designergüsse mit praktischem Nutzen.

The media could not be loaded.

Kaufgrund:
1. Design

Um ehrlich zu sein wurden die Mühlen nur wegen dem fantastischen Design gekauft und weil sie perfekt in meine Wohnung passen. Wenn man mal drauf achtet sieht man die Mühlen doch recht oft im TV.

Die Mühlen sind aus Plastik mit einem Einsteller für den Mahlgrad aus Holz. Sie lassen sich gut befüllen und haben eine ordentliche Kapazität. Auch wird Salz und Pfeffer wirklich gut gemahlen. Großer Vorteil bei diesen Mühlen ist, dass das Mahlwerk im Stand nach oben zeigt. Dadurch fallen nicht immer kleine Reste aus dem Mahlwerk raus wenn man sie abstellt.

Leider quietscht die Salzmühle immer wenn ich sie benutze. Das ist jetzt nicht wirklich schön, aber hinnehmbar.

Bisher kann ich noch keine Veränderung des Plastik feststellen, wie andere Nutzer berichtet haben.

Fazit: Weil ich mich jedes mal freue wenn ich sie anschaue gibt es von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

Man kann die Finger nicht mehr davon lassen ...
Reviewed in Germany on March 5, 2014

Ich war auf der Suche nach einer schönen, aber dennoch funktionalen Salz- und Pfeffermühle. Als ich die beiden Mühlen ausgepackt habe, stach mir sofort das tolle Design ins Auge. Wenn man die Mühlen dann in die Hand nimmt, möchte man sie gar nicht mehr aus dan Händen legen. Die Haptik ist der absolute Wahnsinn, so weich wie Babyhaut.

Weitere Erfahrungen/Funktionen:
+ drei unterschiedliche Mahlgrade
+ Keramikmahlwerk
+ Upside-Down-Design, so dass Salz und Pfeffer nur dann herausfallen, wenn man es möchte
+ Material ABS-Kunststoff mit einem Gummibelag (tolle Haptik)
- Material ist sehr Fleck empfindlich
- dachte aufgrund der Größe, dass man mehr Salz/Pfeffer einfüllen kann

Trotz der zwei Mankos, muss ich 5 Sterne geben, da mich Design, Funktion und Haptik der Mühlen absolut überzeugt haben. Ich würde sie wieder kaufen.

Die beiden Mühlen sind wunderschön, doch leider ist der verwendete Kunststoff sehr minderwertig. Wir haben beide Mühlen immer nur mit einem Tuch gereinigt, aber die Oberfläche (ganz besonders bei der schwarzen) rauchen total auf bzw. werden total klebrig. Da hilft leider dann gar nichts mehr. Dafür ist das Produkt dann einfach zu teuer.
