William Bounds HM Pro Copper 12-Inch Pepper Mill

 (4 customer reviews)

My wife and I have owned our Bounds Professional Copper Peppermill for 10 years now. It finally broke tonight. I immediately ordered a new one without hesitation. I have used many pepper mills in my days but this one was always my favorite. Most others that I have owned have broken within a year. You simple can't match the quality of this unit. It has a solid feel and the copper's lustre is never lost so it always looks great. It was a pleasure to own and I will be sad for the next few days until my new one arrives.

My husband and I received this as an anniversary gift, and it works perfectly. My complaint is that this is definitely not copper, but rather an orange colored stainless steel. If you add this to a kitchen that has actual copper pots, pans or accessories, it will stick out like a sore thumb due to its artificial color. Unfortunate, as I otherwise would recommend it.

I was expecting a much smoother grind based on other reviews. This grinder works ok, but the grinding mechanism leaves something to be desired. I'll use it until it breaks, but honestly, those grinders you find in the spice aisle of Sam's or Costco work just as well or better. Save your money.
