Over the years we have had a number of salt and pepper mills and they all seem to stop working after a short while. We decide to pay a lot more money in the hope these will last a lot longer. They are expensive, look quite nice and feel like a quality product.. We quickly found that you have to hold the middle of the mill while turning the top. If you hold the bottom there is the danger of you adjusting the grinding settings. They do work perfectly and we were quite impressed with the ground salt and pepper they produce. Hopefully these will last a lot longer than our previous purchases. Recommended

These mills are exactly what I was looking for. They look fantastic on my kitchen counter; the matt gold finish is beautiful and feels very premium. But they don't just look good; they are also really, really good at their job. The grinding mechanism is smooth and it's easy to get the exact coarseness you want. Knowing that the grinding mechanism has a lifetime warranty sealed the deal for me. It's a huge upgrade from my old set and I know this one will last. Highly recommend!

I've personally lived my entire life just buying the single use salt and pepper mills / shakers from super markets. These are a game changer, the action is so smooth and you can get incredible granular control over the size of your grinds, both for the Salt and the Pepper. I personally like extremely fine pepper, but a bit more coarse salt, however my partner prefers slightly more coarse pepper, it's extremely easy to switch meaning we're constantly switching it too and from, with no issues at all. It has a tacticle click at each level so you know you're in the right spot, and grind away. These handle that all so well. There are occasionally a few salt and pepper dustings left behind after sitting on the side, but usually depends on how gently or not so gently you place them on the surface once you're done with them. If you're delicate not much will fall out the bottom, but if you're a bit more rough, you might want to look for a holder to sit them in if you're precious about that sort of stuff. Overall, I love these and would recommend them, having the ability to actually choose how your salt and pepper will be served on an individual basis is a great privledge to have, and being able to actually select both the salt and pepper you fill these with is an entire other can of worms once you start looking into it. Note: It does come with about a third of each of the mills filled with some Salt and Pepper so you don't need to order your own right away when you first get these.

Great quality product . Looks stylish .

These salt & pepper milks ooze quality, from the packaging to the feel in the hand and then to the best part, the use of them. Having been a user of supermarket prepacked one use salt and pepper grinders for years I had never really thought about buying a salt & pepper mill alone until I realised the difference in cost of the one use grinders to a box of salt whilst shopping online, I realised that I was a victim of false economy and I decided to look around for refillable grinders. I was originally looking for electronic grinders but the reviews were always a mixed bag due to the amount of batteries they used, the amount of seasoning they could hold through to electronic failures so decided to look for a manual set. When I saw these I originally thought people must be mad for paying so much for a set, but then I noticed the lifetime warranty and the old saying ‘buy cheap buy twice’ got me thinking. The copper set goes well with my kitchen theme so I decided to give them a go in the hopes that they would feel solid in the hand. Well these do, and not only that but the grinding action is smooooth...really a delight to use and as a bonus they actually look good to so I’ve left them out on display rather than hiding them away in the cupboard. It’s hard to get excited over a run of the mill salt & pepper grinder, but as someone that loves to cook and season well these are perfect in every way, they feel as though they will last a lifetime, and there’s always that warranty for peace of mind if they don’t. Buy a set and treat yourself, no more ratcheting away crunching up your seasoning, just a lovely smooth flow. I’m impressed to say the least.

Have used these salt and pepper mills for the past two weeks with no issues. Great quality as expected from Cole & Mason, from the moment they arrive in their presentation box. They feel solid, sturdy and as though they are built to last. Comes with some salt and pepper, so you're ready to go. Two slight negatives - one of the grinders is very stiff and needs some force to turn. Other is due to the design and not unique to this model - salt & pepper gets left behind on the counter following use. I'm going to purchase a Cole & Mason tray to catch the remnants and avoid making a mess in a cupboard or work surface.

There is only one thing to dislike about these Cole & Mason salt and pepper mills: the price of £60. But the more we use them, the more the thought of the expenditure fades. They are very easy to use, adjust and recharge. They are also stylish and substantial looking. We have had a few cheaper mills over the years and none of them have really had a satisfactory action, but these mills have an excellent action. They look and feel as though they will last, and anyhow they come with a lifetime guarantee. Apparently, the use of high carbon steel for the pepper mill and ceramic for the salt mill, as opposed to stainless steel and nylon respectively on the cheaper mills, give a superior grind. The mills are supplied preloaded with salt and pepper, but beware, the pepper that come pre-loaded will blow your head off, it is so strong. Highly recommended, despite the high cost. PS: Just in case, to adjust the grain size, hold the upper body of the mill firmly in one hand, and firmly grip the two indents on the ring with the down arrow on it with the thumb and index finger of the other hand. Rotate the ring so that the arrow lines up with the grain size you want as indicated on the bottom ring. The action may be slightly stiff at first, but don't worry it soon eases off. This is also the case with the grinding action itself. We have now been using these mills for a week and, despite my wife objecting on cost grounds, she now loves them, so I am back in favour.

A quality set of condiment dispensers that not only look and feel good, they do what they’re supposed to do really well.

I found these mills to be good quality and good looking.

Our salt one is having issue with the day 1. Blade is not working properly , but pepper one is perfect . It will be good if I get the replacement for salt one .

exceeded my expectations, very nice in many ways , works well and looks very beautiful;

元々、内容物入りのプラスチック製の量産型ミルを使用してましたが、中身がなくなったのと、回しにくくなったことから、変更をしました。以下、メリットとデメリットを記載していきます。 メリット ・挽き方を6段階(ペッパー)、3段階(ソルト)で調整できる ・挽くのに力は余りいらない ・残量が分かる デメリット ・勢いよく挽きぎると蓋が外れるかも ・内側は傷がつきやすい ・直接、置くと、ソルト・ペッパーが置いた場所に落ちる 使用感は満足で、☆5です。

son caros pero una maravilla. los distintos grados de grosor de molienta, tanto en la pimienta como en la sal son geniales para distintos matices según que plato. se ve un mecanismo de gran calidad.
