Cole & Mason Derwent Salt and Pepper Mills, Adjustable Grind Settings, Gourmet Precision+, Stainless Steel/Acrylic, 190 mm, Gift Set, Includes 2 x Salt and Pepper Grinders

Had this a month now. Best mill I’ve ever used. It’s well built so I hope it lasts!

Love love love. Brilliant quality and well worth the money. Was sick of buying less expensive ones and them breaking after a while. Both came filled too which was a bonus and a lovely presentation box if you want to buy as a gift.

The difference in usability and quality is huge. They are not cheap, but I’m so glad I purchased them. They are a joy to use.

Best grinders I have had

Finally! Some salt and pepper grinders that actually work!!These are great. Build quality is excellent and they feel very solid in the hand. Grind salt and pepper with ease.I am only marking down due to the high cost and the fact that when grinding pepper it is easy to accidentally twist the bottom section which alters the grind size. This doesn't happen with the salt as that is a lot easier to grind but the pepper does need a little more elbow grease.

Brilliant

We used the pepper mill for three years before it snapped in half. The plastic connecting the mill to the outer part is cheaply made and weak. I reached out to customer service regarding the lifetime warranty but didn’t receive a response after a week. However, after following up again, I eventually received a replacement.I have to give them credit—not only did they send a new pepper mill, but they also included a salt mill as a set. It’s great to see a company go above and beyond. I will definitely recommend them!

There is only one thing to dislike about these Cole & Mason salt and pepper mills: the price of £60. But the more we use them, the more the thought of the expenditure fades. They are very easy to use, adjust and recharge. They are also stylish and substantial looking. We have had a few cheaper mills over the years and none of them have really had a satisfactory action, but these mills have an excellent action. They look and feel as though they will last, and anyhow they come with a lifetime guarantee.Apparently, the use of high carbon steel for the pepper mill and ceramic for the salt mill, as opposed to stainless steel and nylon respectively on the cheaper mills, give a superior grind. The mills are supplied preloaded with salt and pepper, but beware, the pepper that come pre-loaded will blow your head off, it is so strong.Highly recommended, despite the high cost.PS: Just in case, to adjust the grain size, hold the upper body of the mill firmly in one hand, and firmly grip the two indents on the ring with the down arrow on it with the thumb and index finger of the other hand. Rotate the ring so that the arrow lines up with the grain size you want as indicated on the bottom ring. The action may be slightly stiff at first, but don't worry it soon eases off. This is also the case with the grinding action itself. We have now been using these mills for a week and, despite my wife objecting on cost grounds, she now loves them, so I am back in favour.
