WMF Trend Ceramill Empty Grinding Mill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros: Grinds easily. Very good output for size. Easy to re-fill. Has a cap to keep counters clean from mill residue. Ceramic grinding mechanism is as strong as steel and will not rust.

Cons: 1 star less because some pieces are plastic, so may break if dropped. If it lasts a year of regular use, I will upgrade the rating.
Value: In my experience, it grinds better than any other mill at this price point. You could get a better mill with metal exterior, no plastic parts, and ceramic grinding mechanism, but it will cost 3x as much as this one.

Update: After a couple years, this is still good as new. If possible, I would upgrade to 5 stars. I have used it for pepper, mustard seeds, and cumin. Cloves require a bit of wrist action, but it still turns well even though cloves are rather oily. If you want to use a grinder with several spices, then I would similarly recommend a very similar product in Ikea which is a bit less expensive andfor which they sell empty containers with lids that can be used with the grinder top.

Chef'n Salt Grinding Ball, Clear Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This nifty gadget allows me to grind salt with one hand as I cook. And, it's a fun addition to a dining table with its very contemporary rather whimseical design.
The handles that you grip are padded thus ergonomically friendly and enable gripping without slipping. A dial selector on the base of the salt ball provides options for coarseness of grind, and it comes equipped with a refull funnel. Plus, it comes filled with salt.
This is one grind I'll never mind! Thanks, Chef'n!

Peugeot Fidji Salt Mill 6-Inch, Wild Cherry Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Freshly ground salt has such a nice flavor.And this grinder is designed specifically for salt.I didn't need a pepper grinder so it was nice to have a rather neutral color and design to "match" my pepper grinder.I also find this grinder very satisfying in use -- I enjoy the feel of the grinding and the way it fits in my hand.

Magnum Salt Mill- 6-Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The reviewer does not understand that this is a salt mill. Steel grinders on cheaper salt mills will corrode eventually thusrendering the grinder useless. High end salt grinders use a NYLON grinder (not plastic as indicated again by the reviewer).This is one great mill that matches the pepper mill in highest quality.

Cole and Mason Inverta Flip Salt Mill, Brushed Chrome and Clear Acrylic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this salt grinder along with a pepper mill, and I am very happy with the quality.I have used them for over a year now, recently droped one on my ceramic tiled floor, the top came off, and I thought it was broken.My husband popped it back on, and we are in business once again.Very good quality, super durable, and the fact that we never, EVER have salt or pepper crumbs on the table is awesome.The grinder is adjustable and works like a charm. I have not a single thing to complain about , and I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to quality.I have sent my share of merchandise back due to inferior quality.So when I say this is a great product--that is an understatement.

Product Description:
Cole and Mason, the leading Brand of salt and pepper mills worldwide, is synonymous with innovative design, product performance, and quality.Our extensive range of mills, from traditional to contemporary, has something to suit every table setting.Cole and Mason's standard mills are fitted with patented mechanisms, stainless steel for pepper and nylon for salt.Our Gourmet mills feature machine cut hardened carbon steel for pepper and ceramic for salt, while the Electronic and Inverta style mills all feature ceramic mechanisms for salt and pepper.The mechanisms are fully adjustable so they deliver freshly ground pepper or sea salt in fine to coarse grinds.All mechanisms have a lifetime guarantee. Our pepper mechanisms strip the peppercorns to break them into smaller pieces so that flavor is slowly released onto food, rather than crushing the corns and squeezing out the pepperin oils, whereby releasing the flavor very quickly into the atmoshpere. Stainless steel is an ideal material for the pepper mill as it will not corrode and can be made very sharp, giving improved variability of grind. Our standard salt mechanism has a unique anti-static, clog-free design and is molded for high precision with sharp grinding teeth.Nylon is used due to its hard wearing characteristics.Being non-porous, it does not absorb odors and is therefore suitable for salt.

Electric Salt/Pepper Mill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As other users indicated, I, too, was very confused upon opening my new salt mill.The exterior of the box was stamped for a salt mill, but the interior booklet was for their (MIU France's) pepper mill, and at first glance it seemed identical to the pepper mill, which I also have and love.Additionally, it did not come with the "6 included batteries" as the booklet stated, nor the bottom fitted cover that my pepper mill has (to keep stray pepper from falling out).

Curious and a little frustrated, I sat down and compared the two.I saw no "S" anywhere on it as another user stated. The only difference I found was that the bottom interior (but visible) grinding mechanism was white as opposed to grey metal that the pepper mill was.I had done some research before I purchased it (or any salt mill) and since my understanding was that metal mechanisms corrode with salt, this must be a different material and that was made it a salt mill, not a pepper mill.But erring on the side of caution, I found the MIU France website and contacted them by email.I received a reply immediately (positive experience) and here was their response:

"First, thanks for purchasing a MIU France product.

For the peppermill, the grinding mechanism should be "grey/metal" in color. That would be the carbon steel for grinding pepper. (using salt with the carbon steel would eventually corrode the metal, though it would work)

For the saltmill, the mechanism should be white in color.That would be the ceramic meant for salt (though pepper would work as well). Dry sea salt or any crystalline salt without alot of moisture as that would cause the mill to build up as it clumps together after the grind.

The new production mills do not include the bottom "cover plate". Reason for that is, many users just cannot understand how to remove that cap, thereby grinding away and building up the grind under the cap or just plain returning it because of that.Also, with the production cost rising due to material cost, we wanted to keep the pricing exactly the same, so we had to eliminate the inclusion of the batteries.

To lessen the confusion, we offer to Amazon our combo pack (salt and pepper mill set) to ensure you are getting one of each.

I'm very sorry for all your troubles, I would certainly love to send you 6 AAA batteries for mill, and extra bulb (just in case) and I'll look around to find you the cover for the bottom too."

So there it is folks.I suggested that they at least update this Amazon product page to indicate these changes and to lessen the confusion that is caused.Hopefully, this post will do that if they do not.

Let me finally say that I love the product.I, too, am a serious foodie; I've used their pepper mill for over a year with no problems and for the few days I've had the salt mill, I have had great luck with it.And let me add that everyone who has used the pepper mill (I travel with it sometimes!) loves it and inquires about it.

P.S.The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was because of the confusion around the product.

William Bounds Rainbow Opal Salt Mill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use coarse organic sea salts because of the health benefits involved and the fantastic taste. Who knew there was so much to learn about the proper mill to use for grinding it?

When I started researching salt and pepper mills the first thing of import that I learned was that the finest salt mills use ceramic mechanisms for "grinding."The second was that it is better to crush the spice than actually grind it.

I turned to researching what salt mills the great chefs in the world use and that is how I found William Bounds pepper and salt mills. I found some that were higher priced, but had lower reviews than William Bounds. The salt mills that they create have both ceramic mechanisms and the `crushing rather than grinding' action. The mechanisms are also guaranteed for life.

After that, all I had to choose was the style that I most liked; and they have a great many to choose from. One of the things I like most about this company is that they offer high-end mills that are priced in range for just about anyone willing to spend a few extra dollars on something that will stay attractive and last for as long as you want it too. I don't know what mills the ultra wealthy use, but I can't imagine them working any finer than these William Bounds.

I ended up choosing this "rainbow acrylic" salt and pepper mill as I thought it would be fun colored for my grandkids and hard for them to break. They have a weight to them that feels perfect in my small hand as well as my 6' 3" son's huge hands. They were a touch heavy for my five year old grandson, but he could still use them easily. My grandson loves the colors; even as adults, my son and I kept noticing them sparkling. They really are attention grabbers. William Bounds also has a copper set that I will most likely buy for adult-centered, professional dinners.

When I first received them, I couldn't wait to use them. They are the finest units that I have ever used. I cannot recommend them higher. The action is ultra smooth and changing textures (fine-medium-coarse) is a breeze. Included is good pepper and coarse sea salt; but I prefer the salt I have been using for years so I changed it out. The crushing action (I assume) even managed to introduce me to a new, fresher, taste in an already well known and loved spice.

Buy with confidence; these are great.

Product Description:
William Bounds 7 3/4" Rainbow Opal salt mill. The William Bounds milling mechanism (the grinder) works in a way that crushes rather than grinds the peppercorns. As a result, the mechanism will never jam or freeze up, and because metal is not grinding on metal - as with other mills - the William Bounds mechanism will never wear out.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. 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,compact and colorful.

WMF Deluxe Empty Ceramill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been looking for a great pepper/salt mill for a while.I have purchased the battery operated versions by WMF and other manufacturers and have found them great but wanted something that didn't require me to keep changing the battery and had a larger capacity.I frequently use various different salts and peppers in my cooking and some of them require grinding so need a number of mills to handle this.That being said let me get down to the review.

Looks:
The product looks amazing.The build quality is top notch with heavy duty glass and metal construction.It does not feel cheap at all and contributes to the value greatly.
5/5 Stars

Usability:
The mill sits grinder up meaning that the as you can see in the picture the glass portion rests on the counter.A simple unscrew operation lets you add more content into the storage container which is very easy.Te top has a cap that needs to be removed which has a rubber seal again very easy to operate.I have used these mills with rock salts and various peppers (black, and blends).I have noticed that the control mechanism for the grinder setting (determining how fine the grind coming out is) is a bit tricky to use mid grind.Meaning I grind some of the salt/pepper and then change the coarseness of the grind, it can be tricky especially if there are particles still in the grind mechanism.I would be watchful.As a note this only was a problem with some of the harder salts that I have.
4/5 Stars

Overall:
I wish I could give the product 4.5 stars as that is the true score but I cant give it 5 knowing that the issue with the grinding control exists with the harder salts and the usage pattern of changing the coarseness of the grind mid grind is a common one.
4/5 Stars

Summary:
I would purchase this again in a heartbeat and plan to buy more as my needs expand.At the moment I have 2 and 1 battery operated WMF grinder and plan to stick with this moving forward.

Vic Firth STS06SM01 "Pump & Grind" Salt Mill, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've being using this product for more than a year.
It is easy to use.It's good for humid places and specially boats.

PROS
1) Maintain the salt free of humidity
2) The salt is grinded into a cloud of tiny grains.The grains are grinded into smallest size than commercial grinded salt. Looks like salt powder.
3) The acrylic tube let's you know when to refill.
4) The size is perfect for daily use at home.
5) In contrast with battery operated grinder, it's always ready to use, the salt is grinder into powder not large grains, and it's free of moist.
6) The small grains of salt (powder released) is more pleasantly and rapidly dissolve in the mouth compared to others salt grinders and standard salt.
7) The salt is released with consistence (quantity and grain size) with every push.
8) It's easy to use for adults with just one hand.Good for occasional used at the kitchen or daily use at the table.

CONS
1) The grinder might be difficult to push by toddlers (which is good in a way since it helps to make them use less salt).
2) After several times of falling to the floor (more than ten times in my case), might broke at the acrylic part.
3) The amount of salt storage might be consumed fast by a chef or if you used more than 100 grams daily (3.5 Ounces).
4) The grinder might stop working if you wet the base by accident.If so, replace the humid salt and it will keep working like new.

PS: I bought booth the salt and pepper grinder.Both are the same in size and parts.In fact I ended up using the pepper grinder for salt too and it works perfect.
