This sturdy, 4-inch-tall, shaker/grinder offers three pepper grind settings, coarse, medium, and fine, that are changeable with a twist of a chrome adjustment ring. Unlike many balky pepper grinders, the grinding mechanism, operated by twisting the salt shaker, works smoothly, cascading ground pepper from the bottom. A knob on the chrome top unscrews so the top can be removed for refilling salt, and the salt chamber comes off to provide an opening for refilling pepper. Clear-acrylic bodies allow monitoring of both salt and pepper levels. Sleek, modern, and compact, it looks good in kitchen or dining room. Clean the mill/shaker with a damp cloth. --Fred Brack

I've owned 2 of these for a few years. I can't recommend them, and I'm surprised they are still being sold. They are poorly designed and low quality. If you set the grinder to its coarse setting, it will slip back to its fine setting as soon as you twist it to grind. I've given up trying to get coarse or medium pepper and just leave it set to fine. Both grinders do this. On one of the grinders, the trim ring at the bottom fell off. Later, the plastic part(it holds the salt) that turns the grinding mechanism broke. The other one hasn't broken yet but has many stress cracks in the plastic. The salt shaker part of this is marginal, but at least it comes off so you can clean it. The part that holds the pepper does not come apart and you cannot get in there to clean it. If these only cost a few dollars, I wouldn't complain about them, but they aren't cheap. At this price, they should work much better and last much longer.

As a gadget guy, I am fustrated by things that look nice but don't work well. Most pepper mills fall into this category for me, except this one. It is exceptionally reliable, efficient and elegant enough for company use. I won't buy any any other.

I LOOOOOOVE pepper grinders. I have owned at least three. This one caught my eye when I was registering for wedding gifts, but as I was looking at it I discovered that the tops were very wobbly. Only about 1 in 10 turned the way it should. The others were very loose, and did not hug to the pepper mill tightly enough.
*****Final Thoughts***** There are plenty of good pepper mills out there, and most of them grind pretty well. I'm sure this one did to, but the salt-topper/grinding handle was not secure enough for comfortable use.
