Full description
- ELEGANT DESIGN MEETS ROBUST CONSTRUCTION: The PepperMate pepper mill was designed to look elegant on your kitchen table and deliver the perfect grind, every time. Featuring a sturdy, ceramic grinder mechanism, a large refilling capacity at 1.7 ounces for peppercorns or 4.8 ounces of salt, a measuring bottom cup, grind control & an impact-resistant design- it delivers in both practicality & dependability.
- CONSISTENT RESULTS-PERFECT EVERYTIME: The unique design of our pepper grinder features a grind gear in the inside of the body. This design allows you for easy control over coarseness (turn right for finer grind, left for coarse) and also, unlike traditional pepper mills that lose their coarseness “setting” the more you use them- ours stays the same throughout your usage.
- ONE GRINDER FOR ALL CONDIMENTS: A good grinder is a versatile grinder and the Peppermint grinding mill allows you to easily grind various condiments for all your gourmet needs, thanks to its non-corrosive ceramic grinder, that does not absorb any flavors. Grind away oregano, basil, cumin, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, anise and even coffee beans!
- MANUAL OVER ELECTRIC: While electric salt & pepper grinders may sound tempting, the hassle involved in maintaining them is something that really comes in your way. The PepperMate salt and pepper mill needs no batteries or recharging- With just a few twists, you’ll be enjoying delicious results and also help the planet stay healthy.
- THE PEPPERMATE LEGACY OF TOTAL SATISFACTION: Since 1982, PepperMate has been an indispensable part of American kitchens, and with good reason. We’re really passionate about what we do and we want our Peppercorn Grinder to be a part of your cooking as well- that’s why with each PepperMate ceramic pepper grinder, you get our ironclad LIFETIME Warranty on the ceramic mechanism!
Four decisions we made in 1982 and never had to revisit
-
01
The adjustment knob
Continuous, not clicked. Twist from powder-fine to butcher-coarse with nothing in between to settle for.
-
02
Ceramic burrs
Corrosion-resistant, so salt will not chew them up the way it does steel. Grinds anything millable up to a coffee bean.
-
03
The side handle
An ergonomic side crank at 5.5 inches tall. One hand, no wrist strain, no wrestling it over a hot pan.
-
04
The clear catch cup
The part everyone writes to us about. It collects the grind so you measure a half teaspoon into a recipe instead of guessing.
Forty-four years of not changing it
Pierre Franey, The New York Times, June 25, 1982A new pepper mill has just been introduced on the market and it is one of the best I have come across. Called PepperMate, it is a sleek and beautifully designed model about six inches high, attractive and easy to operate.
We have made the same mill, the same way, since that review ran. Ceramic burrs replaced steel in the nineties and nothing meaningful has changed since, which is exactly the point.
A $2.99 part beats a new mill
We still stock every component for mills we sold decades ago. If a tray cracks or a top goes missing, that is a three-dollar problem, not a forty-dollar one.
