Kuhn RikonEssential Adjustable Ratchet Grinder with Ceramic Mechanism for Salt, Pepper and Spices, 8 x 2.5 inches, Black

This pepper mill is the best I've ever used. It is so easy on your hands. It grinds beautifully. And you get a good amount with each grind.

The media could not be loaded. Best pepper grinder because it goes back-and-forth instead of having to turn it, which can be difficult with wet hands in the kitchen.I have the old model and the new model, the difference between the very top part that you hold. I like the round ball/sphere design better than the flat circular design with their logo. The old round ball model just feels better in your hand and has a better grip.Another feature that I love about this pepper grinder is how easy it is to refill. Just flip open the back compartment, fill it with peppercorns and close it. Easy Peezy.

The ratchet handle makes this pepper grinder easy for an old lady with arthritis to use and it does a great job of grinding. the small jar that fastens to the bottom can be filled with freshly ground pepper when you want to measure out a portion for a recipe.

This is a very clever gadget. I really like the little cup that snaps into place to catch the freshly ground pepper. It’s very easy to use, and so much easier to measure out spoonfuls of freshly ground pepper from the cup than a flat surface that typically catches the pepper from a grinder. Be careful: the cup will detach a little too easily, and you can spill what you’ve just ground.

I keep this small grinder on my counter and use to frequently. It's easy to use and comes with a small container to save the excess .

When you have to grind a lot of pepper for a recipe this thing is the most amazing ever. You can effortlessly get a tablespoon of pepper. I will be giving these as gifts to my sister and my best friend for their coming birthdays.

I use the Kuhn Rikon ratchet grinder to crush korarima seeds(Ethiopian spice) and dispense it directly to a pan with hot oil. It takes me a few seconds to grind the seeds in the quantity that I need. I have owned three of these over the years, and I just keep different spices in them. I prefer to grind the spices as I need because the flavor is better and the spices also last longer if kept in whole form.It mostly works with the harder and dry spices. I have had success with cumin and coriander seeds as well. Others you will have to just try. The grinder also has a dial at the bottom which you can use to adjust from FINE to COARSE. The grinder also comes with a detachable spice jar that screws to the bottom of the grinder. One could grind spices in advance and use this to store them. I personally prefer to grind as and when I need the spices.It is a good quality product as are most of Kuhn Rikon's kitchen gadgets.

The lever mechanism grinds a lot of pepper, much faster and easier than the traditional pepper grinder.

easy to used

Brilliant grinder. The only quibble is the loading hatch can be dislodged from its pivot if gripped too hard. Simple to put back though! Definitely a full 5-star product all round.

it's a bit bigger than I had hoped for but it works extremely well. I have a cupboard full of pepper grinders accumulated over 15 yrs. None gave me the grind I wanted. I will be throwing most of them out now because 'This is the Way' this one is perfect for my needs, the size of the grind is adjustable from powder to very coarse. I will be buying another one to use with salt.

Just love this pepper mill. It is easy to fill and work. Wish I'd known about this style of pepper mill years ago. Will be buying more to grind my sea salt and also my other types of peppercorns.

The best mill for the bucks expended.
