It happened to be my personal favorite and ended up being the one that came home with me. It’s still the one I use today, and it’s also a favorite among many Kitchn staffers. And I recently learned that it’s Ina’s favorite, too!

I have seen Ina Garten and Jacques Pepin use this peppermill for ages and always wanted one. It makes a nice grind, easy to adjust the coarseness. And, honestly, the best part is that it is self contained and doesn't get pepper all over the counter or my lazy susan where I keep it.

"The side grinding knob is also much more comfortable than the typical vertical one. I'm buying another PepperMate to use for salt, since it's definitely the best grinder I've used."

The Daily Grind - Our Humble Beginings
We've been grinding since 1982! A time when graffiti adorned the subways and crime was high. BUT an appreciation for gourmet cooking was slowly seeping into the old-fashioned kitchens of New York.
Indeed on June 25th 1982 The New York Times ran a story about Pepper Grinders. It was written by the famous French Chef Pierre Franey. The entire article was dedicated to our world famous PepperMate Traditional Pepper Mill. It was a revolution in home cooking and even the experts agreed.
Yes there is a Lifetime Warranty! We at Peppermate stand behind all our products; we are certain you will be satisfied with your pepper grinder, customer satisfaction is our priority.
Is it easy to fill?
It is very easy to fill with a wide opening at the top. No spilling peppercorns all over the counter. (a typical problem for other grinders)
Is the grind adjustable?
The grind is easily changed by a simple twist of the Key Grind mechanism; Turn right for a coarse grind, Turn left for a fine grind.
Is the burr made of steel or ceramic?
It is a High quality Ceramic non-corrosive ceramic grinder which won't absorb flavors or odors.
What is the clear cup at the bottom?
The bottom cup catches, measures & stores the grinds. Honestly it's quite genius.
Can it be used for other spices?
This Multi purpose pepper grinder can also be used as a salt mill, giving you a salt and pepper set, or a spice mill or dried herb grinder like cumin, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, anise and even coffee.
