3823-00 5 1/2" Bavaria Salt Mill

I have 3 of these on my table. One for sea salt, one for peppercorns and one for flax seed. The sea salt and peppercorns for better taste and the fax seed for better health. This grinder works wonderfully for all 3 applications.

It is a well made product, a great value for the money and looks great on the table.

I like my salt and pepper powder fine, so I just bought two pepper mills and filled one with kosher salt. For that reason, I give this product a 3 star rating instead of 4.

I'm a BIG stickler for quality and am constantly disappointed with products these days. I have to tell you that every time I use this grinder, it brings a smile to my face because it's such a good design built with such quality. It reminds me of how household appliances were built 30 years ago when the name of the game was quality and not KMart pricing.

I've owned quite a few salt/pepper mills in the past and this set is by far the best and will most likely last the longest. If you're...Read more
