COLE & MASON Derwent Salt Grinder - Copper Mill Includes Gourmet Precision Mechanism and Premium Sea Salt

For years, my salt and pepper situation was... basic. I had the standard shakers that either dumped half their contents onto my plate or required me to perform some kind of percussive dance to get a single grain out. It was a culinary gamble every time. Then, I decided my spice game needed an intervention, and I ordered the Cole & Mason Derwent Grinder Set.Let me tell you, these aren't just salt and pepper grinders; they're kitchen jewelry. The copper finish? Chef's kiss. They sit on my counter looking all sleek and sophisticated, making my slightly-less-than-gourmet cooking feel instantly fancier. My toaster oven is clearly intimidated.But the real magic is in the grind. The pepper mill has, like, six settings! Six! I didn't even know there were that many ways to grind pepper. From a fine dust that disappears into sauces to a coarse, chunky explosion of peppery goodness, this thing delivers. The salt grinder is equally impressive with its multiple settings. I can finally achieve that perfect sprinkle without accidentally creating a salt lick on my steak.Using them is incredibly smooth. It's not a strenuous workout for your wrists; it's an elegant twist. They feel solid and well-made, like they could survive a minor apocalypse (or at least my clumsy handling). Refilling is easy too, though I did initially try to pour peppercorns into the grinding mechanism, which resulted in a small, spicy avalanche. Learn from my mistakes, people.Since getting these, I've noticed a difference in my cooking. Freshly ground spices just hit different. It's like my food suddenly woke up and realized it could taste amazing. My scrambled eggs are now events. My salads are experiences. I'm pretty sure my neighbors are wondering why my kitchen smells so much more... aromatic.If you're still using prehistoric salt and pepper shakers, do yourself a favor and upgrade. These aren't just functional; they're beautiful and they genuinely make cooking and eating more enjoyable. They've brought a little bit of fancy into my everyday life, and for that, they deserve all five stars.Five out of five perfectly seasoned bites!

Love these - the operation is smooth and efficient; the look is clean and modern. I considered the tall wooden style, but it was unclear if the grinding mechanism is the same. We have one of the pepper grinders already and wanted a nice set for the dining table. Since the mechanism is what we love the most about the grinder, I went with the same acrylic modern style. The set came beautifully packaged and would make an outstanding gift for someone special.

Order this along with the salt container ... good buy ... works every time ... easy to fill has different grind adjustments ... easy to clean the outside ...A keeper!

Nobody NEEDS a salt and pepper grinder…But if you want to treat yourself with something besides the “same old pepper” you can try some different kinds of peppers and you will never regret getting this set.You can adjust the size of grind you like from big pieces to basically dust. If you take care of them, they will last you for years.

It’s gorgeous, fits my hand beautifully, feels solid without feeling heavy. It comes not quite half-filled with black peppercorns.Didn’t see much difference in grinds 1and 2 but big difference in 3 (cracked pepper type) and 2 (fine). That’s as far as I’ve checked.Noticed in at least one review difficulty in changing grind levels. Mine came with it easily movable for the first change, but any further change required turning the top cap clockwise a bit before I could shift the dial to change the grind. Not a problem. Takes a few turns before pepper comes out, but I suspect that’s due to the level of peppercorns in there. Again, not a problem just getting to know it.Appreciated the quick delivery. It came with another item I ordered, I was surprised it wasn’t boxed or wrapped in any way in the package. There was enough packing material though so it wasn’t moving about, so no damage to it.

I bought this brand of salt and pepper set several years ago. The pepper mill finally quit grinding properly. I bought this replacement. It works as well as the original when I first bought it. For a device you use every single day ---- it's well worth it.

My sister had this at her house. I used it and had to buy the exact same one. I had a Le Creuset peppermill that didn't work at all. This is such great quality. Easy refilling. Multiple grind settings. Absolutely love this!

This the the absolute BEST pepper grinder I have ever had! We like pepper. The one I had before broke after just 1 year - plastic mechanic that broke. This one has stainless steel. It is VERY easy to fill. You can adjust from fine to coarse grind - 5 levels. AMAZING!!! LOVE IT!
